(For make up)
The thing that I loved the most about Elder Anderson’s talk
was that he testified that faith overcomes all doubt. This was a great message
for me to hear because my first year of college has housed a lot of doubts.
There are so many decisions to make! What should my major be? How do I want to
live? Who should I date and spend time with? Should I go on a mission? All of
these questions have been floating around my mind and it has been slightly
overwhelming. In relation to the last question Elder Anderson said that faith
has overcome individuals’ doubts to go on missions earlier in life. I know that
this is the case for me. I never really planned on going on a mission until the
age change, and even then it took a while for me to decide for myself. But I know
that when I prayed I was given the faith that I needed to overcome my doubts of
serving. There are 58 new missions and 65,000 missionaries, and the numbers are
only going to keep growing. I am so excited to serve a mission and join this
army of righteous young men and women!
That's really exciting that you're planning to serve a mission! I have always planned on serving a mission, but I have had doubts also, so I had to find out for myself that the Lord wanted me to serve too. It is a great blessing to have this knowledge. Good luck as you prepare to serve!
