The service year has come that's gonna take us past the 100 year anniversary day itself.

Let's everybody make the very best out of it, no matter what title we carry, if publisher, auxiliary, regular, special, missionary and so on.
Personally, this has been a fantastic year! I have had the privilege of serving in 3 countries this year (home country included), with amazing experiences both in service and in life, saying goodbye to really good friends, but also making a lot of really good new friends.

What makes a good service year?
For me, I would say some good well thought out personal goals.
My 3 favorite ingredients to a exiting service year is:
1. Make the truth YOUR own.
This is something we are always taught, and I'm pretty sure I ca say, many of us will say we already did, but can't really put words in exactly how. Leads me to next point.
2: Find something very specific that you LOVE about the ministry, your personal study ect.
3: Make those PERSONAL goals! Something you can complete within this service year. Maybe goals that make you enjoy your day, week or month to the full.

For me this is my 3'rd service year of being out as a need greater, and I must say the most important thing I have learned so far, is to make the truth your own!
Find that one very special thing that you absolutely LOVE!!
And this will keep you string even when times get rough.

It is truly a privilege to be serving in this time, and especially this year!
Plan your events well so you won't tire out, and make it exiting!
If Jehovah made last service year for you amazing, there's no doubt he will make he next one even better, if you just ride along his guidance.
Who knows where you will end up.
