The mission is a pressure cooker of growth and it is so, so amazing. I never thought I would serve a mission but here I am, and i have never regretted this decision. I promise that if you go, God will recognize your sacrifice and He will strengthen and support you the whole way through.
Going to church and having the gospel in my life put those trials in perspective and allowed me to overcome them and become better because of them. Because I could see the difference it made in my life, the Lord blessed me with a strong desire to serve and share that joy with others.
Kevin and Lori Whitaker called the Hickory Stake their home for many wonderful years before a work-related transfer in 2008 took the family to Texas. Kevin served as Stake President of the Hickory Stake from November 2004 to November 2008… The Whitakers shared how much they love and miss the people in Hickory.
The recent changes in contacting our families have been a great help for me personally. I love my family alot and it is great to be able to talk with them every week! Also since I am leaving my mission soon it is nice to be able to talk to my parents about my future plans when I get home.
As I have learned how to speak and understand, I have realized how much God is helping with the language. After three years of studying Spanish, compared to 3 months studying Danish, I am WAY better at Danish. I know that the gift of tongues is a huge blessing in my efforts to learn Danish.
