Freedom requires no effort to enjoy but requires heroic efforts to preserve.

All that I now hold dear in life began to mature in the mission field. Had I not been encouraged to be a missionary, I would not have the eternal companion or precious family I dearly love. I am confident that I would not have had the exceptional professional opportunities that stretched my every capacity. I am certain that I would not have received the sacred callings with opportunities to serve for which I will be eternally grateful. My life has been richly blessed beyond measure because I served a mission.

To be humble is to be teachable.

The key to successful missionary work is a close relationship between the missionaries and the members. Creating an environment in working with members that will bring more into the Church.

True friendship is like the asphalt of life. It fills in the potholes and makes the journey smooth.

By making choices consistent with eternal truth you will develop righteous character.

Satan will try to use our memory of any previous guilt to lure us back...We must be ever vigilant to avoid his enticements
