I didn't ever think I was going to serve a mission. All my life it was never in my plans. But I started getting ideas and impressions about it around the time all my friends were getting there calls. I told my parents about my thoughts and they told me I should think and pray about it over time. I would jump back and forth between going and not going, until about 5 months after thinking and praying about it, I got my answer.
I decided to go to the Payson Temple alone one day. As I was changing into the baptism clothes I said a prayer to help me know if I should serve a mission or not. As I went into the waiting room, I opened my scriptures to a random page and the first scripture I read was Doctrine and Covenants 99: 1-3. And it was about missionary work, and my first thought was "wow! what a coincidence! I should try again". So I opened to somewhere in Alma and it was also about missionary work. Then D&C 75: 3-4. And again in third Nephi. All about Missionary work. I was amazed and surprised and knew my decision! And here I am.
