Testimony is the beginning of and a prerequisite to continuing conversion. Testimony is a point of departure; it is not an ultimate destination. Strong testimony is the foundation upon which conversion is established. Testimony alone is not and will not be enough to protect us in the latter-day storm of darkness and evil in which we are living.

Missionary work is a manifestation of our spiritual identity and heritage. We were foreordained in the premortal existence and born into mortality to fulfill the covenant and promise God made to Abraham. We are here upon the earth at this time to magnify the priesthood and to preach the gospel. That is who we are, and that is why we are here - today and always.

The knowledge and spiritual conviction we receive from the Holy Ghost are the result of revelation.

Christ lives and will cleanse, heal, guide, protect and strengthen us.

Pray and seek for strength to change our circumstances rather than praying for our circumstances to be changed

Priesthood ordinances are the pathway to the power of godliness.

What we know is not always reflected in what we do.
