Tyler came home early due to intense anxiety and panic attacks after serving in the Spokane Washington Mission for 3 months. He actually loved being out on his mission, but his mind would not let him be stable. The experience of returning home early challenged his relationship with God and he left the church for a short time. He tells me that it was easier to think that God wasn't real at all. He has since returned to full activity and he talks to me about what happened to get him to where he is now--happy and even more deeply committed to the Lord.
