I was away at college, when I was attending a stake conference. After the meetings I was walking through the gym (multi-purpose room), when a TBM couple I knew approached me. I was around 21 or so, and they asked me why I wasn't serving a mission. I couldn't even get a word out, when they both started attacking and railing on me. They totally double-teamed me. I couldn't get a word out and I don't remember how I got away from them, because they kept following me around and yelling. What a bunch of idiots!
The reason I didn't serve a mission is on account of a blessing I had received from my SP, in which it was stated, I was not to serve a proselyting mission. Prayer afterwards confirmed it for me. While I know this isn't the "TRUE" church, I do believe in God and that he talks to us. I thank Him for letting me off the hook regarding a mission. I realized later, I am a real strong introvert and more than two hours of continuous social interaction causes my brain to melt and I get severe headaches. Could you imagine that mess on a mission? haha.
