While I was growing up in the state of California, my father was a local church leader. One of the callings my father had was being the leader over the missionaries in our area. Since our missionaries were over so often, my brothers and I had a chance to grow very close to them. The cause was that my father was over our missionaries. Since my father was over them we got to know them very well which was the immediate effect. The remote effect was that my brothers wanted to become missionaries just like them someday. Another remote effect was that because of their example I eventually served a mission.
I love how you see people as examples in your life that have an influence on your decisions. I can relate to that in a lot of different senses. The only negative effect out of this is that you are LDS... haha i am totally kidding. I have nothing against the faith. Everyone I know that served a mission got a life changing experience that they will never forget.
