Today I break from my usual topic of gout and men's health. My youngest son has been serving a mission for the LDS church in the Utica, New York mission. He has been gone for two years, we have had limited contact with him.
When a young man serves a mission for the LDS church they can email back and forth once a week and can call home on Mothers Day and Christmas. A mission is usually a great experience and provides a period of great personal growth for the young man. The higher aspect of a mission is to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to others.
Because of the requirement to go out each day and meet new people a young man learns to conquer his fear of talking to people he doesn't know, any way to get to the point we pick my son up at the airport tomorrow night. He should be released from his mission Friday. It will be a huge change from his activities from the last two years.
So wish us luck in his transition back into a life out of the mission field.
