Share It

Several people mention one excellent way to help their testimonies grow. They share it. "I've had so many experiences with my friends and family members," says Sierra Thomas, "teaching the gospel to help them feel what I feel. When you teach other people, you realize that you actually know this and why you believe in it."

Chelsea Aniel was listening. "I was just thinking about my testimony," she says, with tears suddenly coming to her eyes. "When I share my testimony, it grows. I heard a good quote that says, 'What you share grows; what you withhold diminishes.'"

As they grow through their teen years, this group finds they have more and more opportunities to talk to their friends about the Church. Brandon Hudgins just received the Aaronic Priesthood. He says, "Friends at school ask me about the Church. It's fun teaching them what I know."
