What I wish I’d known before my mission
John Bytheway
And you know how I’m gonna spend those 23 days (minus the Sundays)?
running

being a gym junkie
eating clean
reading and studying
regular temple attendance besides the shifts I work
weaning myself of the interwebs.
Wish me luck!



I guess I’ll just watch General Conference again.
I had the activity tonight so I decided to have us do the same thing I did in Mission Prep yesterday: tie everything into the gospel.
In turns, we gave each other one random verse in The Book of Mormon, one random paragraph from Preach My Gospel, and one random object. We then had to tie them each together in a sort of mini-devotional.
Thanks to Mary, I can now never put on chapstick without thinking about prayer.
“These guys clearly were not praying often because if they had, their spirits wouldn’t have been so •chapped•. And, like chapstick, we need to apply prayer often and liberally so as to get soft, luscious lips and spirits.”
