Why do Mormons go on missions?

The reason why I went on a mission is because I was following the example of my older brothers who had served missions. I saw their lives change from it, and saw how happy it made them. I wanted to be part of that. I had never lived away from home before, and I knew leaving my family would be the hardest thing ever, and It was. But I have never experienced so much joy, and happiness in my life until I served my mission. I love being able to share the greatest messege anyone could ever hear, to the people in Minnesota. We are rejected multiple times a day, but when you find those people who have been prepared by the Lord to receive your message, its all worth it. I love the growth I have seen in myself, and how my faith and testimony has grown from serving a mission.

We serve missions because we have the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and we have seen how much happiness it gives us, and we want the world to experience what we have.

ANother reason why I went on a mission is because I have something that everyone on earth needs, the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our purpose as missionaries is to Invite others to come unto Christ, by helping receive the restored Gospel. I have seen lives change from it, and I know that If others give us a chance to hear our teachings, they will come to know for themselves that the church is true.
