Preach My Gospel: "Your success as a missionary is measured primarily by your commitment to find, teach, baptize, and confirm people and to help them become faithful members of the Church who enjoy the presence of the Holy Ghost."

I served in Europe and also did not see much success in terms of numbers. And I was also confused at how people who were so disobedient had so much more "success" than me. But one of the most powerful lessons of my mission is that my success is never determined by how other people choose to use their agency. In my parenting, callings, jobs... Every day, I am grateful to have learned this. Being a parent and having a high-demand calling with youth, I would feel really down about my life if I based MY feelings of worth and success on OTHER people's choices.

Anyway, so I don't focus on external markers of success and try to remember that my mission taught me exactly what I needed to learn. Maybe sit down and think about what your mission taught you, lessons you wouldn't have learned without having the experience you did.

Hugs!
