Before I forget I wanted to mention that last week I had the privilege of speaking to our group of young Activity Days girls about my mission. Along with 3 other return Sister Missionaries in our Ward, Kristy Smith, Sherida Raddigan and Kelsey Hogge. And I just have to say what a great experience that was for me. It has been years since I have been able to share some of my experiences regarding my mission with people. It truly was the best 1 1/2 years of my life. I believe that my Heavenly Father always planned for me to serve a mission as he just led me in that direction. It was something I always wanted to do but never thought I would have the opportunity to do, and he made it happen! With Michael on his mission now it is even more meaningful. I am eternally grateful to my Father in Heaven for the most awesome experience of serving a fulltime mission. Thanks Ashlie, for the opportunity to speak to your girls. I had fun!
