I had the privilege and opportunity to be a full-time missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 2001-2003. I served my Hmong brothers and sisters in the California, Sacramento Mission. It was a great experience of learning and growing for me. My testimony of Jesus Christ and His restored gospel and church were strengthened immensely. I saw miracles happen throughout my two years of service and those are days never to be forgotten.
As Elders, we had many great experiences sharing the restored gospel of Jesus Christ and we saw many come unto the waters of baptism and partake of the goodness of God.

Today there are over 74,000 full-time missionaries in over 400 missions around the globe. It is amazing the selfless service that each of these missionaries renders by sacrificing 18-24 months of their young adult life to bring the light of the restored gospel Unto All the World.
I am so grateful for the restored gospel of Jesus Christ that rolls forth across the earth to gather the pure in heart into the fold of Christ. The Savior invites all to Come Unto Him and partake of His goodness and blessings.
Ephesians 1:10
That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
