Did you go on a mission when you were younger or lately?
Hi Colleen,
I went on my mission from July 5 1979 to Jan 5 1981. It was two years after I joined the church in July 1977. I was 29 when I joined the church and 31 when I went on my mission. I consider both of these decisions the smartest two decisions I ever made in my life. I was a Welfare Missionary in Bolivia Santa Cruz Mission which was a lot of fun and work. For non LDS that means I worked mostly with the new members of the church teaching them more about how the church works and Personal and Family Preparedness or Principles of Provident living. My companions and I were able to travel to many small towns in the mission. There was one little town where we were the first American sister missionaries to ever go to. We were greeted with lots of love and excitement, the little Bolivian sisters were so excited to meet other sisters. It brings tears of joy just thinking about. It was also a great responsibility to set an example of faithfulness for these sisters. In this small town many of the new leaders did not know how to read and their children read to them and helped them prepare their Sunday lessons. What an example in faithfulness were they to us. Well I really went on here. Thanks for asking.
