It's that time of year, right before conference, when mission reunions are held. I have the fortunate pleasure of having my mission president live in Orem. In fact he teaches at BYU. So along with the others from my mission, I can see him fairly often. That being said, I usually don't see them much, so it's always good to see those men that I had the privilege of serving with and be able to catch up on how they're doing in life.
However, better than be able to catch up with them though, was the spiritual rejuvenation, and reminders of my purpose and mission in life. I'd noticed recently that I haven't been progressing spiritually like I'd like to be. So it was really good to sit with my fellow Brethren (and their wives, there were sisters in my mission, but they almost all were from the Polynesian islands) and feel the spirit, and share and rejoice in the gospel together just like zone conferences in the mission.
More interestingly and something that happened during the mission as well. Prior to zone conference the spirit would whisper to me what I should study to be prepared. I was grateful to have those promptings to once again prepare me to hear the things I needed to hear.
Ultimately, I'm grateful for the strength Gospel of Jesus Christ gives, and brings into my life, and the knowledge that he did not send us here to fail, rather he prepared us from the foundation of the world and we are ready for what is required of us in life.
