I have been reflecting a lot lately on missionaries and what a great part of the LDS faith it is to send out boys to serve the Lord for two years. I think it creates such an amazing change in the boys who dedicate their lives to spreading the gospel and what a gift it is for the individuals and families they teach to hear of this "good news". I am so blessed to have the effects of missionaries and missionary work in my life and I honestly wouldn't be where I am today with their service. My dad is a convert to the church and I am so thankful for the missionaries who taught him and helped bring him into the gospel. I can't help but think of what amazing men they were and I admire them for their dedication to serve the Lord.
One of my best friends isn't LDS and last year, she expressed a strong desire to learn more about the gospel. A few other close friends and I introduced her to the missionaries in our wards and she soon thereafter started the missionary discussions. Being apart of each one of those discussions helped shape my testimony so much and I always felt the spirit so strong. I believe that the missionaries who taught her were sent to Gilbert, Arizona for a very specific reason and they helped change my friends life so much. Though her parents didn't allow her to be baptized, I know that those missionaries made a huge impact on her life. I thank them for their steadfastness in trusting the Lord and being able to teach with the spirit.
