Basketball and my mission

I love playing basketball so much. I love being on the court when the time is running down and its an intense game. Its seriously one of my favorite things to do. I know I am not the best basketball player, in fact, I am one of the worse ones on my team. I don't have to be the best to love the game. I dont have to make every shot or get every steal or rebound. Just being on the court and being able to play is amazing. Being able to have the ball in my hands every so often is what I love. My mission is kind of the same way.
I love being a missionary for Jesus Christ. I love serving the people here in the Santa Rosa Mission. Its such a blast. Being able to serve God right now is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Many people know I am not the best missionary alive, but that's okay with me. I don't have to be the best missionary. I don't have to baptize every one I come in contact with or even make every contact the most spiritual thing ever. Just being able to put the name tag on every day is what I love. Being able to change lives and bring my lost brothers and sisters back to the fold of God is what I love. I love what it says in the Book of Mormon by a prophet about this, 3 Nephi 5:13  Behold, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I have been called of him to declare his word among his people, that they might have everlasting life.
