Friday marked the 7th anniversary of starting my LDS Mission. So much has come from that wonderful experience that I know for sure I could NEVER list all of the blessings. I have been going through a personal struggle as of late and felt a strong prompting and desire to find a talk that helped me on my mission. Which brought me to my mission box... I am so emotional right now because of all the journals I read through and the pictures and letters I found. Part of me really really wants to turn back time and be that missionary again. I would never change what I have with my family and kids but I sure would like to feel what I felt when I was serving. My heart and mind were so engrossed in the work and the spirit was so intense.
Part of my personal struggle is trying to get that feeling back right now in order to show my children what the spirit can do to affect their lives.
I wouldn't change things on my mission either. What I would change is the correspondence I have had with them since coming home. I have been horrible and since I found several addresses tonight I will recommit myself to get back in contact with them. Hopefully my German holds up.

Good for you, Ashley, for following the promptings to follow up, and good for you for seeking the Spirit in the intensity you used to have...that's something we should ALL do. Thanks for the reminder! I want to be on the Lord's errand every day & teach it to my children, too.
You're a great mom--remember that!
You have a beautiful family!
Your on a whole new mission now...and it's the best!
This was a great post!!!!!
