The time has come to go out and serve! I am so grateful to have the opportunity to serve the Lord in the Colorado Denver North mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  The Lord has given me so much and I want to give back.  I know that Jesus Christ is the Savior and Redeemer of the world. He suffered for our sins because He loves us. I know that the Book of Mormon is true.  I know this because I have read and prayed about it and God has answered my prayer.  Like James said, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him" (James 1:5).  If you have questions, ask of God. I promise you He will answer you. I also know that Jesus Christ loves all of us. He loves you more than you can ever know.  He is there at the Lord calling you, saying, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28).
I love you all. Remember that you are loved, not only by me, but by a loving Heavenly Father.  I know this because He sent His only begotten son to die for the sins of the world. He loves you.
