Talking about the mission age changes in my marriage and family class was super enlightening. I think this is super important to remember: We all felt the Spirit confirming to us the truthfulness and excitement of the age change for men and women. We ladies especially felt that confirmation. But that shouldn't be mistaken for a personal confirmation of our own need to serve. I've felt so guilty because I'm like one of the only girls I know that just hasn't felt like I need to serve a mission. But that's the thing, it's not a commandment for me and it hasn't been revealed to me. I worry about my girlfriend who's in a frenzy over serving a mission now. Without disregarding her right to personal revelation, I suspect she may have confused the general confirmation of the truthfulness of the change for a personal confirmation.

Eh. Just some interesting thoughts.
