I just wanted to take the time to cheer on your mission!\u00a0 I am a young woman going into my first year of college.\u00a0 I come from a religious family that believes in being pure until marriage.\u00a0 I just wanted to commend your church for putting this out on the internet, so young men know it is okay to refrain from temptation and to respect themselves, their girlfriends, and above all God.\u00a0 I hope you continue to keep up the wonderful work and good luck and blessed be.<\/p>\n\t
Thank you very much for the kind words. They are much appreciated.<\/p>\n
