The decision to pursue missions should not be shaped by impulse or idealism but by discernment, prayer, godly counsel, and immersion in the local church.

(John 20: 25) This is sense knowledge faith. True faith is based on the Word of God. We don’t have to ask for it—it’s there for the taking!

Since the earliest days of the Restoration, the doctrine that we are eternal beings and can progress in our divinity has been central to the teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In Doctrine and Covenants, we are taught that those who attain exaltation are "priests [and priestesses] and kings [and queens]....They are Gods" (76:54).
