I wish I had served a mission. Not because it was expected, but because I believe that it might have prevented me from becoming inactive. That being said, I have realized that I am on a full time mission....... to live the gospel and be an example to as many as I can. I want my kids to serve, I think it will be a great experience for them. Kids are trained to finish high school, go to college, start a career......in that order. The church includes serve a mission and I think wisely so, because it is Spiritual education.. I think the problem of waiting till you finish your education is obvious......most guys answer another calling......ladies! They end up getting married. Thankfully, Exaltation is available to all, mission or not, but their maybe someone out there waiting for you to knock on their door.
