.. Elder Longshore who just went home last change kind of sums it all up.
I am going to quote Elder Longshores parting words about the mission: “ I still remember like it was yesterday, when my stake president set me apart. In the blessing he told me that these 2 years would be the one of the funnest times of my life. And boy is that true. Sure I have been spit on, made fun of, sun burned, freezing in the rain, the kind recipient of a few flying rocks, but it has been amazing and fun! I truly saw how the gospel is the solution to any problem we come across in our lives. I am grateful for all the amazing and wonderful experiences I have had in this beautiful country. I will remember all of the baptisms, the names, the faces and the spirit that was felt at every service, and the members who would slave over a hot stove on a scorching hot day just to give us something good to eat. The countless hours of blood, sweat and well….more sweat we offered as we served the people. I have learned how to build houses, destroy houses; how to garden, sew, change pipes(so gross), and to love the person who you are serving. I love the feeling I get when I help someone who is really in need of it and who really appreciates it. I have many more amazing experiences that are going to help me the rest of my life! I love the Uruguay Montevideo Mission.” Elder Longshore was a leader in the mission and a very positive, happy person. This is what a mission does for you. Kalin, Randon, and Kylan you will be there before you know it. Prepare now for a wonderful, special, spiritual and yet hard experience where you will come to know Heavenly Father and Jesus more and learn to love and serve others.
