I have been home from my mission for a little over seven months. It has felt long, but has been very eventful. Last Sunday, I found out that I will not be returning to the mission field. It was a miracle that I was able to serve a mission in the first place. For that opportunity, I am extremely grateful. I am sad, but not depressed. I would have loved to finish what I started. It feels good to not be in limbo anymore. There are a lot of things I have been thinking about lately, things I would like to do, and now I have the opportunity to put those ideas into action. I would love to go back to school. I am not sure what to study yet, but I have considered Dental Hygiene, Music Therapy, Education, Chinese, etc. I want to be able to get a job that I enjoy and will also support me. I also want to get married someday, when I find the man of my dreams. :o) I have thought about moving to somewhere new, maybe Utah or somewhere crazy like New Mexico. I don't know yet, maybe I will just stay here. But I have a lot more options now.
I feel so grateful that I was able to serve the mission that I did. The Lord has showered my life with blessings. I made great friends and met some great people. I learned Chinese and I plan on continuing to learn it. I experienced being a full time missionary, something I thought I would never be able to do. I learned a lot about life, spirituality, and myself. I wouldn't change a thing. The Lord has promised us that all things will work together for our good.
