Do you know someone who just got home from the mission? Did you just get home? Here is a little advice for you, and for that special missionary. More to come. Please share with others.
Andy is the creator of The Returned Missionary (this blog), encouraging the tens of thousands of LDS missionaries who come home every year to continue to be productive, hardworking, faithful, and happy long after their full-time mission has ended. His goal with this blog is to help people know how they can live the gospel while living their dreams. He just launched his first book for RMs, called Live Your Mission: 21 Powerful Principles to Discover Your Life Mission after Your Mission, which is the first book in the Live My Gospel book series. He also owns and manages the LDSmissionaries.com blog. He is a regular contributor to Meridian Magazine and has been featured on the Mormon.org blog as well as LDS Living and Deseret News.
Been home from my mission since 1969. Still remember my experiences, keep in touch with people that I taught. Take the Liahona in Danish so I can keep my language intact. Be kind and loving to those around you. Remember your mission was only the beginning, keep growing!
Great Advice!
My husband and I served our missions in the 80s. We still keep in touch with the people we taught and our companions and fellow missionaries. Personally I read and re-read my journal entries and I feel like I’m back to my mission. Our son is coming home in 6 months and I’ve found your website very helpful. Thank you for the tips, especially For the Parents of Returned Missionaries. Truly helpful, I appreciate it.
Liza. I’m SO glad you found these things helpful. More is coming. Stay tuned!
