#1 Solo Story: I Did NOT Love My Mission...

Talmage Thayne
About this episode

This episode is the first where Talmage reads a listener-submitted story. The Sister in this account wished to remain anonymous.

She found it hard to love her mission both during her service and after feeling confused and lost. Everyone around her seemed to love and enjoy their missions, while she didn't. Despite loving the country, the people, and her companions, she often found herself on the verge of tears. She finally told her honest feelings about the mission to her mother. Her mom said while she won't love every part of the mission, she can love what it made of her. 

It is a fantastic story of how she found the purpose in her suffering. The Love she gained was worth the sacrifice
