For those of you who know me, you may know that I am a member of "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" or otherwise known as the LDS church, or even the Mormon church. As Friday April 6 I have received my mission call from the church! I have been called to serve in the 'West Virginia Charleston Mission.' In this mission I will be teaching the many wonderful Principles and Doctrines of this church. I will be serving in this area for 2 years, as I am in this area I will not be able to contact you through DeviantArt, pretty much only through the mail I send. Many of you may be thinking... "Dang this guy is CRAZY! Spending 2 years doing this" or even "Well, never heard that before..." But I have very good reasons to go, as do the many other thousands of Missionaries that serve around the world today.
First of all I know that I am a child of God and that my Father in heaven knows and loves me more then anyone could. Second I know that Jesus Christ the only begotten son of the father had come down and as payed for my sins, as he did for all of us. Third I know that Joseph Smith the first of the prophets of our church was a true prophet, that he has seen God the Father and his son Jesus Christ in the flesh and has restored the true gospel to the earth today. I believe that the Book of Mormon is the true word of God, brought forth from the Golden Plates (Which was translated by Joseph Smith), As well as the Bible. I know that our current Prophet Gorden B. Hinckley receives direct revelation from God the Father and righteously directs the Church. I know for myself that these things are true and that I am willing to spend 2 years of my life sharing this message to all that I can.
I am to leave on May 28th towards Provo Utah, on May 30th I am to report to the MTC otherwise known as the 'Missionary Training Center.' There I will spend approximately 3 weeks in training (Other Missionaries stay longer depending if they have a foreign speaking mission). And after that I shall be teaching for the remaining two years.

If you wish to receive my letters please contact my mother (She will be sending my letter out to everyone else). Type in your e-mail, with the topic "Elder Colvin's Missionary Letters." And sometime after you shall be added to the list sent out ^^.

We walk and talk the same,
We kiss and diss the same,
We hug and slug the same,
and we definitely love the same - unconditionally.
So really: What's the difference between heterosexuals and homosexuals again?
