I recently found a missionary I served with on facebook. He was a great guy, very serious about missionary work, dedicated, selfless. Somewhat quiet, but I would have gone to war with him.

I don't know if disappointment is the right word. If staying active in the church is a mark of having "survived", then this is a battlefield strewn with dead bodies. Friends, family, everyone. Nothing is a surprise anymore.

Someday I may see him and say, of all people, I thought you would have been with us. Not in chastisement or anger. But the disappointment of not going to war with the brothers you have loved.
