"We ask tremendous things of missionaries. It is so hard for shy and diffident young people to do the things we sometimes ask them to do, but what a marvelous thing that they try. They have the faith to do, the faith to act, the faith to go forward and make the effort. And what a marvelous gift that is to bring home."
        
               Gordon B. Hinckley, "Gifts to Bring Home from the Mission Field," New Era, March 2007

"The issue is not going to church; rather, the issue is worshipping and renewing covenants as we attend church. The issue is not going to or through the temple; rather, the issue is having in our hearts the spirit, the covenants, and the ordinances of the Lord's house. The issue is not going on a mission; rather, the issue is becoming a missionary and serving throughout our entire life with all of our heart, might, mind, and strength."
