Sacrifices for A 2 Year Service Mission

When I tell people that I am going to Peru for my two year mission, many reply with, "Oh my, That is on my bucket list to visit before I leave! I am so jealous of you!"  Naturally, I am beyond excited as well for this opportunity, but you must realize that Missionaries are not out to vacation, they are out to spread the word of Jesus Christ, and give service to those in need.  End of Story.  We do however get one day a week to ourselves for doing things like Laundry, Shopping, Local Sightseeing, etc... But all within good taste.
