“Christ truly knows and loves us personally”

Arcadia California Mission

"I'm so grateful for the opportunity I have to represent Jesus Christ. This truly is His gospel and His church. My faith in Christ has grown more and more everyday. I love studying the Book of Mormon and for the truths and doctrine that can be found in the book when earnestly studying and pondering on the words. I'm so grateful for Joseph Smith and his humble question he asked God. I know that Joseph Smith is a true Prophet of God. I'm grateful for his faith and the faith of all the Saints that have come before me. I'm grateful for everyone in my life who has helped me come unto Christ, I'm so thrilled to have these two years to invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored Gospel. One of my favorite verses is in 3 Nephi chapter 5 verse 13 "Behold, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I have been called of him to declare his word among his people, that they might have everlasting life." I just love that I have been called by Jesus Christ to declare His word so that others may have everlasting life. I've found so much joy in this work as those who truly take the Gospel to heart find comfort and joy in the Gospel. I know that this is His work and His glory. I know that the Savior knows each and every single one of us and loves us unconditionally.”
