I think that today I'll talk a bit more about lessons that I've learned on my mission. It's been a good two years. (Well, just short of two years, but who's counting?) I've served in around seven different east coast cities, and I've seen more of and learned more about people than in the rest of my life. If anything else, it's taught me the people that I don't want to be. It's also taught me a bit about time.
Time is one of the most valuable resources in the world. Once spent, it can never be refunded, returned, or exchanged for store credit. It's gone for good.
We have the God given gift of choice. We can choose what to use our time on. We could use our time to surf the internet, exchanging an hour of our life for a few cheap chuckles. We could read a good book, and learn more about the world. Or, we could spend a few minutes talking with God and be enlightened.
I know that if I choose to do what is right, God will bless me with success. Life is better when we follow the example set by Jesus Christ.
