"A testimony of the Prophet Joseph Smith can come differently to each of us. It may come as you kneel in prayer, asking God to confirm that he was a true prophet. It may come as you read the Prophet’s account of the First Vision.  A testimony may distill upon your soul as you read the Book of Mormon again and again.  It may come as you bear your own testimony of the Prophet or as you stand in the temple and realize that through Joseph Smith the holy sealing power was restored to the earth.  With faith and real intent, your testimony of the Prophet Joseph Smith will strengthen. The constant water balloon volleys from the sidelines may occasionally get you wet, but they need never, never extinguish your burning fire of faith."  —Neil L. Andersen

They stand close together and lift where they stand.  However, there are those who sometimes struggle with this concept. Some want to lead, others want to hide.  They covet a crown or a cave.  There is a better way, taught to us by the Savior Himself: “Whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant.” The Lord judges so very differently from the way we do. He is pleased with the noble servant, not with the self-serving noble.  Brethren, may we cease to aspire and cease to retire!”  – Dieter F. Uchtdorf
