So you asked what helped me most prepare for a mission. Answer: Honestly, what prepared me for my mission was my faith in Christ and trying to have humility. Had I been super prideful I would have come home a long time ago. I also had a firm faith that Christ is the the Son of God. I was not prepared to read and study the scriptures everyday, I was not prepared to walk a ton everyday, I was not prepared to teach and talk to people openly about my beliefs. I honestly was not ready to take on everything a mission offers but because I was taught to never give up by my parents and coaches, that is why I´m here today and why I will finish out.  It's hard but you always told me it would be so when it came I just knew you had been right.  My testimony has grown and I have changed in many ways I didn't think about but really everything is in the Lord's hands and I am fine to trust in him.  Thanks mom I love you.
