"If you are a young man wondering whether you ought to fulfill a full-time mission, don't approach that decision with your own wisdom alone. Seek the counsel of your parents and your bishop or branch president. In your prayers, ask to have the will of the Lord made known to you. I know that a mission will provide extraordinary blessings for you now and throughout your life. If you are a young man wondering about a mission, I urge you not to pray to know whether you should go, rather ask the Lord to guide you in whatever may be necessary to become a worthy, empowered full-time missionary. You will never regret serving a mission, but you likely will regret not serving if that is your choice."
"I testify that devoted full-time missionary service is a source of great happiness and rich blessings, not only for those who hear the message but for those who, under the guidance of the spirit, deliver it."
"I cannot imagine anything more exciting to do as a young man, woman or couple in the world today than to be a full-time missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints."
"We now have very clear direction for success in missionary service. It is provided by the guide 'Preach My Gospel' and the resources developed to accompany it."
