I served my mission during the same years as you, and I also recall seeing the NES 64 in Brazil for the first time, and being blown away by Super Mario World also.

Thanks for sharing, this brings back some memories from my mission. I shudder to think what's in my mission journal... Jounaling has never been my strong point, but I think my mission years were the most journaled of any. My mission president saved all of our letters and returned them to us as we left. One of my early letters was a complaint against my senior companion who refused to turn on the heater. As I think back on that now, I wonder: (A) Why <em>didn't</em> he turn on the heater? and (B) Why didn't <em>I</em> turn it on? Even though she is indigenous and latin, inside the temple she is a beautiful person, very pretty.

Ouch.

I wish members in the mission field could read such journals, to better understand what missionaries go through, and develop more understanding for the inner feelings and emotional and physical challenges of the missionaries they meet in Church on Sundays.

Thanks so much for sharing it with us. Day by day we work and try throughout life, and sometimes it's hard to feel that we're really accomplishing much. Sometimes I feel that Heavenly Father must be so disgusted at me for how slowly I learn and change. But then you look back over the sweep of time and Everything is different. Everything is better. Things really have changed. As an adult convert, I never have had the opportunity to serve a mission yet for the church. Reading this makes me want to so badly. It makes me taste again what Guatemala tastes like. What a great post! Que bueno! I love this! Thanks so much for sharing it with us.

Fortunately for me, you shared a lot more of your mission than this brief post, but this post really does represent you and your mission well. Obviously a son any father could be proud of.
