  1. Thats awesome! Mostly, whoever that went on a mission when they step off the plan they changed their mind. They didnt belong to their normal life like before anymore. Giving up their hobbies is obviously hard for them but its just in the first time, then when they are able to adapt on the mission life they quickly forget and give up theirs. In my situation, if I go back to my country and live there for whole my life so its terribly hard for me. I continously live w/ my parent and sustain parent's control and sometimes I cant do something I like so its super bad for me.

  2. I like this article!!! I think the people have to sacrifice many important things, like family, friends and hobbys, to have o be successful in their future. In this case, he had to sacrifice his family and his friends to do a very important activity, and changed his life.

  7. I think that go to the mission is a good experience even when missionaries need to miss family activities or other kind of significant events for them. They know that they will have happiness working for a good reason. Usually that kind if experience helps to mature and appreciate every moment in the life. Im living far from my country, mi family and my culture but I'm having wonderful time.

  11. The article is true. There are a lot of things happened in 2 years. Missionaries sometimes care about sports, media, or something like that. After the mission, it is important to continue to live like missionary, but it is also important to know today’s life. It is hard to make a good balance.

  14. Yes, for some returned missionaries is difficult to back to everyday life. I think it can vary from one to another missionary, because I remember when my brother returned from his mission, he was completely normal to go back to driving a car, and also television, he enjoyey the music. I think the saddest thing was to receive his relief,I never saw him so sad in my life.

  16. Many people sacrifice many things to become a better person. Serving a mission is great opportunity to get more maturity. However, it is not an easy task because you have to leave many important thing such as stop your studies.
