I will have to tell our full story (if I haven't already) on some other day, but today, I wanted to just write my thoughts on missionary work --
This past week, my cousin (well, 2nd cousin 1ce removed) came to visit from Salt Lake, where she works as the Director of Church Library Services at the LDS Church History Library. As we talked, we talked about our family history (mainly coming on my mom's side). Having these message drummed in my ears all weekend, 24/7 was not at all bothersome to me, but more of an inspirational weekend to help me get on my way, off my butt and moving on my personal history history collection as well as doing as much as I can before I add on another family when I get married. Then it all clicked. I, too, am doing missionary work! I am being a missionary to my family and to those on the other side as I read about them and honor them. And, Ryan, my missionary, is serving the Lord here to help those understand what the truthfulness of the Gospel is really all about! How neat is that?! I guess I thought it was common sense until the lightbulb clicked!
Anyways, I just thought I'd share that little mind blurb.
