It wasn't until during my mission that I felt what happened had a spiritual element to it. Truth be told, I had no business going on a mission. Spiritually I was never ready, I rarely attended church. My mom made me so mad one day, that it was that argument that prompted me to even go fill out my papers in the first place. So I felt that the experience I did have helped me on my mission to recognize promptings that I did have during my mission and after.
I mean everyone is entitled to their opinion... it's fine by me what some want to interpret what I went through was just some whatever thing... I know what I went through.
