What do I say?

I have a dilemma that I face everyday and I think that most MRRM (medically released return missionary) have. What do I say when I talk about my mission. Do I mention I came home early or do I not. If I don't mention it and talk like I served 18 months does that make me a liar? When I don't mention it am I devising people. I don't know but this is what I do know. I served a full time mission and successfully completed it.  That's what classifies a RM. Also I know that it is no ones business that I came home early or why. I can voluntarily give the information but I don't have to.
So what have I decided to do. I am not going to hide it because I am not ashamed but I am not going to broadcast it because it is not important to whatever story I am telling or what ever conversation I am in. Long story short. Any Medically released missionary is without a doubt an returned missionary. So don't be ashamed.
As a matter of fact, no one be ashamed. No matter what your weaknesses are it is not important. As long as god is proud of what you are doing what others think doesn't matter.

  1. Thank you so much for posting this. I am a MRRM and lately I've been struggling with the realization that I'm an RM. I know that God had accepted my service, no matter how long it was. Thank you again.
