14 October 2013 "Looking Back"


October 14th 2013

Well another one in the books of life and hopefully many more to go.

This week was a landmark and it was sort of depressing as well, I have now been on a mission for a year. At the beginning of the mission you look to the end as so far away and sometimes has an anxiety effect to it but now that I'm on the back 9 its like the same feeling but in reverse. Kind of weird. I live with another missionary that came out with me and we were talking about the mission and our feelings of hitting the year mark and we both felt so weird. I honestly don't want to go back into "reality" being outside of the media effect allows me to hear about a lot of what's going out there and most of it doesn't sound the greatest so I am grateful that I'm not hearing all of it. The world seems a little more on edge now then the last time I remember it being. I hope I am wrong.

We talked to this guy on the sidewalk about God and his belief in Jesus Christ and the first thing he talks about is this solar spot cycle that I guess is supposed to happen in Nov? He told us that we will either have the polarity of the planet shifted, earth flipped on its axis, power grid destroyed or the earth will explode. So pray to God that things will be alright is how he ended it. Now I would have loved to know what he was talking about but I didn't hear that one yet, can you help me out?

I look back at who I was as a person before my mission and who I am now and I am so glad that I have learned how to have fun and also how to strengthen a relationship, with both the Lord and anyone else. I think that is the way that I have grown the most and in comparison to the person before the mission I am a completely different person. Don't let that scare you though in saying I'm different. I'm just more improved ;)

Well anyways God is in the Heavens, Jesus is the Christ.

Love Elder Caleb Leonhardt
