This past weekend, I participated in a mission reunion with some of the Elders and Sisters I served with 20 years ago in the beautiful Land of Slovenia. It was awesome to reunite with some people I haven't seen in two decades. It reminded me that I will always share an incredibly powerful bond with this group, despite our otherwise obvious differences.

Whatever you do, you are thrown together with people who you might otherwise have little reason to have as friends - be they neighbours or co-workers. At least with a mission, you have the shared bond of a love for our Heavenly Father and the urge to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
ReplyDeleteMet our Elders in town whilst running errands this morning. Always good to have a chat with them... remember this, folks, always talk to your Missionaries whenever you get the chance!
Amen, Megan.
