i've mentioned in these emails before some of the fringe benefits to serving a mission. the main blessings that come from serving the Lord full time are familiar to all of us. there is, however, a myriad of blessings that come from serving a mission that one doesn't actually think about until one actually goes out and serves a mission. one of those great blessings is the relationships that you develop with the people that you work around--especially with other missionaries. the people who i have met on my mission are people who i consider to be some of my best and closest friends in the world. i have absolutely loved all of the companions i have had so far and all of the other missionaries that i have worked around. i have also been very pleased to develop a good relationship with my mission president president irwin and his wife. they are just the nicest people in the world. everytime you have an interview with president irwin you just walk away feeling like a million bucks. i had that opportunity this week when he came to banska bystrica to district meeting. it was great being able to talk with him and ask him questions and get his advice. he has truly been called by God, and i'm so thankful that i've been able to serve under his leadership. it would definitely be worth it to take a trip to england to visit him sometime in the future.
