Sometimes we may ask God for success, and He gives us physical and mental stamina. We might plead for prosperity, and we receive enlarged perspective and increased patience, or we petition for growth and are blessed with the gift of grace. He may bestow upon us conviction and confidence as we strive to achieve worthy goals.

Proclaiming the gospel is not an activity in which we periodically and temporarily engage.

As we fear God more completely, we love Him more perfectly. And 'perfect love casteth out all fear'.

In fact, the less regimented such testimony sharing is, the greater the likelihood for edification and lasting impact.

Repentance is the sweet fruit that comes from faith in the Savior and involves turning toward God and away from sin.

Knowing that the gospel is true is the essence of a testimony. Consistently being true to the gospel is the essence of conversion.

All of us now are serving and will continue to serve as lifelong missionaries. We are missionaries every day in our families, in our schools, in our places of employment, and in our communities. Regardless of our age, experience, or station in life, we are all missionaries.
