Returned missionaries, how did your mission change your life?

I will be leaving on my mission this summer, and I want to hear about how you were different than when you left.

    Vastly more mature, I could speak a foreign language, I had learned how to deal with people much better (i.e. had a lot more patience and empathy), and best of all, a much stronger understanding of my beliefs and of the gospel.

    Good luck on your mission. Remember, every day out will be exactly what you make of it.

    I would never be a missionary. It seems like a waste of time to go to someone elses home and try to push my beliefs on them. If they wanted to learn from me they would seek me out.

    Like most missionaries, I was hungover for 3 days, and had to get shots for venerial disease.
