I had been an Alter Server for 3 years and it taught me many things such as having a greater appreciation and more understanding of the symbols of church. I believed that I have a deeper…

To be prepared for your mission you must have the simple things down. Things such as having a testimony of the church, which is the simplest thing yet also the most powerful and important.
