I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints- or the Mormon Church. Many people know of the Mormon missionaries, who are spread throughout the world preaching the good news that is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Like most Mormon young men, I have wanted to serve a mission ever since I was young; I wanted to dedicate my life to what I believe in, and I wanted to serve those around me. I was only a few months away from leaving on my mission to Santiago Chile when I realized that I was not yet ready to embark on this journey that was a mission. Though I knew I did the right thing, I was devastated. For years I had been expecting to leave on a mission, and now that I was not able to my world felt as if it was flipped upside down.
