Katya and Ivana are grateful for the Church, and both have benefited from its offerings, especially Personal Progress. "My testimony of Personal Progress is that it makes us stronger and helps us be perfected in every aspect of our lives," says Katya.
Ivana feels that Young Women and Church organizations have helped her prepare to be a missionary. Ivana is positive about missionary work. She says, "Don't get discouraged, but always be an example of how the Church changes our lives. We're happy in it, and every person wants to be happy. And if we take people and show them that happiness, then they will follow our example. We always can—with small steps—help those people, serve them, and in some wonderful moment, they will be ready."
