First of all, much of my knowledge of the gospel comes from those who have gone before. Even my personal testimony came as a result of applying the principles taught by my parents and by the prophets through the scriptures.
The choices of the prophets and saints have made these scriptures available. The choices of my parents and other ancestors have put me in a place where the gospel was taught to me from my youth, both by precept and by example. It has taken the efforts of a long line of faithful and worthy ancestors to put me where I am.
Many came to this country at great sacrifice in order to to follow the Lord's ways and gather to the church.
I owe my eternal life to them, if I should succeed in so living as to merit eternal life.
I am unable to express the enormity of what they have done for me and for my family. Their examples give courage and faith, and have caused me to come to love the Lord, just as they did,
