Summary/Testimony of My Fourteen Months As A Service Missionary

I have had amazing experiences being a service missionary. So many great memories!! I loved every minute of it!! I’ve had so many great opportunities doing service for my community and people, but want to emphasize time with the sister missionaries, time at the library and time in Wisconsin with Yuxin, as follows:

• Time with Sister Missionaries:  I have enjoyed being with the sister missionaries and doing service with them. The service I did with them is: helping someone to move in, went to the farm, did district council, zone conference, library, set up or run some activities, animal shelter, gave blood, Yovanna Richardson center, Rehab Center for older people, Restore Center, personal study and going with them to teach a family, among other things. 

• Time At The Library: I have done a lot of service at the Fayetteville Public Library, from dusting to moving furniture around. By being there I have met wonderful  people and the people that worked there. They loved having me around and the hard work I put in every day. What’s cool is Sam Palmer from the ward was the main guy in charge of the Expansion Of the Library. It was neat to see the progression of the expansion. The expansion is supposed to be done Fall of 2020. I have to say they are getting close to finishing the expansion up now and I got to be part of it!

• Time In Wisconsin With Yuxin: Being with Yuxin for a couple of months has been an amazing experience for both her and I. I learned a lot from her and she learned a lot from me. Being a foreigner from China and during this pandemic, it was a little hard living alone by herself. That is the reason why I went and stayed with her so she wouldn’t feel lonely. She enjoyed my company. I did some fun things with her while being there. The amazing experience she had with me is every Sunday my parents would always call me for church and she would sit by me/listen to what is being said. She really enjoys doing that!! Having that experience being companions with her and teaching her the gospel, through the Come Follow Me Manual and being with my family for church over Facebook messenger, has helped her to learn more about the gospel.

Since being a service missionary, I've grown spiritually and physically as a service missionary along the way. I have done a lot of service for different people and those people I served, I will remember the feeling of joy they had inside them and how happy they were. I have met a lot of wonderful people along the way and those people are going to be cherished in my heart forever. Even though I will be released as a service missionary, doesn’t mean I should quit serving people, I should always serve people when they need it.
