Elder Anderson


(For make up)

The thing that I loved the most about Elder Anderson’s talk was that he testified that faith overcomes all doubt. This was a great message for me to hear because my first year of college has housed a lot of doubts. There are so many decisions to make! What should my major be? How do I want to live? Who should I date and spend time with? Should I go on a mission? All of these questions have been floating around my mind and it has been slightly overwhelming. In relation to the last question Elder Anderson said that faith has overcome individuals’ doubts to go on missions earlier in life. I know that this is the case for me. I never really planned on going on a mission until the age change, and even then it took a while for me to decide for myself. But I know that when I prayed I was given the faith that I needed to overcome my doubts of serving. There are 58 new missions and 65,000 missionaries, and the numbers are only going to keep growing. I am so excited to serve a mission and join this army of righteous young men and women!

  1. That's really exciting that you're planning to serve a mission! I have always planned on serving a mission, but I have had doubts also, so I had to find out for myself that the Lord wanted me to serve too. It is a great blessing to have this knowledge. Good luck as you prepare to serve!
