I would like to share a quick message. "Wherefore, fear not even unto death; for in this world your joy is not full, but in me your joy is full.

His desire to learn made me want to be a more diligent student of the gospel, his attitude was always so happy 😊. After his baptism he bore a sweet sweet testimony and his wife told me that in 17 years of being married she's seen him cry twice. Once when he "did her wrong" and the second when he was standing there, hair still wet, just telling the small congregation why he knew Jesus Christ's gospel was the best thing for him and how it will help his family. If there's somethi...
