The Sacrifice of a Missionary

Hello! This is my first blog post ever, on my first blog ever. My name is Sara I am a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I have been on my mission for about 3 weeks.  Meaning I have approximately 75.2678571 weeks left. But who is counting?
I certainly am not.

You might ask why a beautiful, funny, amazing, and HUMBLE;) girl like me would choose to give up 78.2678571 weeks of there lives, or 18 months?

Well. I could tell you.

The reason I have decided to serve a mission is simple. I chose to serve a mission because I love my savior. Jesus Christ is my redeemer, liberator and foundation.

You might also ask yourself, why is he so important?

Well I could also tell you that.

Jesus Christ is so important to me because he loves me (and all of you). He is the Son of God. He lived, and loves everyone who has lived, who does live and who will yet live. He showed us how much he loved us, by sacrificing his life, and suffering for the sorrows and pains of the world.

The very thought of him brings peace to my soul.

I know that he will bring peace to your soul if you let him.
I have put my trust and faith in him to bring my happiness, and he has.

The 75.2678571 weeks will fly by while Christ is in my life.
