Missionary Gaybe Wrightout

“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also I me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so I would have told you. And if I go and prepare a place for you. I will come again, and receive you unto myself: that where I am, there ye may be also.”

St. John 14:1-3
