I always felt this first page couldn't be more perfect as a prequel/introduction to the visual journal.

"Then wake up, and do something more, than dream of your mansion above. Doing good is a pleasure, a joy beyond measure, a blessing of duty and love." - Hymn 223: Have I Done Any Good

I know it sounds crazy - Devoting 2 years of my life to sharing the word of God?? ...But to whomever may be reading this, I want you to know my honest reason in doing this: I've felt a lasting joy in my life that is sourced from the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which I want to share with others, both during and after my 2 years of service. I hope and have confidence it will bring those with an open heart that same joy as well. And I hope by sharing this journal, if you are willing to try what I share, you will feel that joy too.
