The Best 17 Months Of My Life
My testimony grew on my LDS Mission.11 total reviews
Comment from Liz O'Neill
One of the good things about this account is the reader is invited to do some research about some of the places mentioned. Then they can use their imaginations of what it would be like if they were there. In many ways our testimony is this: "I've learned that people won't remember what you said, but they will never forget how they made you feel." and this is very true. Sometime we resist all of the way only to find this truth: "I was exactly where I needed to be with the people who needed me to be there." This was very well expressed.

What a wonderful life you've had, and still have. There can't be many jobs in the world that give the same sort of joy and satisfaction that yours does.
Well done and good luck in the contest! :)) Sandra x

Thank you for sharing this writing prompt entry with us.
was also told that I had a testimony when I came on my mission. (omit 'that' it's an extra word and not needed)
I believe that my testimony grew very strong on my mission. (omit 'that' it's an extra word and not needed)
The person that I was together with the longest was Kimberly Greene.
It was so neat when they knew that what we taught them were true (omit 'that' it's an extra word and not needed and insert 'had' before taught)
I know they felt peace and knew that they made the right decision by being baptized. (omit 'that' it's an extra word and not needed)
I know that God was with me every step of the way. (omit 'that' it's an extra word and not needed)

Thank you

You should say how you feel I did on my story not counting that.
-
You're correct I should. I enjoyed reading it.
-
Yes, is that all you can say?
-
I am not sure what you want. I sure the mission trip was wonderful, but to be honest as a reader I couldn't feel it. They were just words on a page no emotion. In this post you told us and didn't show us.
-
Sorry, I thought I did great with the story.
-
Not a problem. In a review I attempt to be positive and point out technical errors we all make. I don't like cutting peoples work down. It's their creation. If it's really good I praise that otherwise I thank them for sharing.

Thank you for sharing your story about this period in your life and how it blessed you. I love the quote you have shared: "The quote by Maya Angelou is definitely true. "I've learned that people won't remember what you said, but they will never forget how they made you feel."

The narrative here is truly uplifting telling of travelling to work as a missionary and the sheer joy and delight that such work brings -with the mission continuing into adulthood

God bless you in finding your purpose and your calling. It is at first disappointing when you think you're moving in one direction and God takes you in another. You wonder why you weren't allowed to stick with the plan. It's nice to know God knows what He's doing. It's nice to trust Him without question. I enjoyed reading your piece. I was blessed by your experience.
