The Standard of Truth

"The Standard of Truth has been erected; no unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecution may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame; but the truth of God will go forth boldy, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished, and the Great Jehovah shall say the work is done." - Joseph Smith, History of the Church, 4:540

Doctrine and Covenants, Section 4

"1) Now behold, a marvelous work is about to come forth among the children of men.
"2) Therefore, O ye that embark in the service of God, see that ye serve him with all your heart, might, mind and strength, that ye may stand blameless before god at the last day.
"3) Therefore, if ye have desires to serve God ye are called to the work;
"4) For behold the field is white already to harvest; and lo, he that thrusteth in his might, the same layeth up in store that he perisheth not, but bringeth salvation to his soul;
"5) And faith, hope, charity and love, with an eye single to the glory of God, qualify him for the work.
"6) Remember faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, brotherly kindness, godliness, charity, humility, diligence.
"7) Ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. Amen." - Doctrine and Covenants 4:1-7

My purpose as a missionary...

My purpose as a missionary is to "invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement, repentance, baptsim, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end." - Preach My Gospel, page 1

My Hobbies

There are many things that I love to do. Right now, I am doing one of them. No, it is not blogging. I hate doing anything that even looks similar to journal writing, but I am getting better at it. What I was talking about is: I am serving a Two-year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the New York Rochester Mission. Hence the title of this blog.

Some other things that I love to do is anything with music. I recently just found a song that I was working on almost three years ago. I am still working on it, but I had forgotten about this particular version of the song.

Here's how it goes:

"I love the Lord,
In Him, I shall dwell,
In Heaven, Angels sound the chord
Repeating the joyous phrase, All is well!

"My heart lays happy joys at His call,
His call to spread His word to all the world.
My thoughts long to do its all,
It's longing to spread His word to all the world."


Yes, I know it is still a work in progress. And I am willing to accept any suggestions that you may have to either make it better or to add more verses to it.
