I was reading today about the Laminates and their conversion. Conversion means  a change of attitude, emotion, or viewpoint from one of indifference, belief,or a antagonism to one of acceptance, faith, or enthusiastic support, especially such a  change in a person's religion. I was able to witness and be a part of people conversions on my mission and I miss it. I would love to move somewhere where I can help the church more and be an example to those not of my faith. It talked about them barring their weapons of war "they that laid down the weapons of their rebellion, yea, all their weapons of war; and they were all Laminates." 23:13. Later it talks in ch 24 about them berrying them after they changed their name to the Anti-Nephi-Lehies. They were converted as they learned about Christ and His infinite atonement.
How can I live my testimony better? Be a better example? And "live" up to what I believe?

The Lord has said it is our duty to teach our children in their youth, and I prefer to take His word for it rather than the words of those who are not obeying His commandments.. I may know that the gospel is true, and so may my wife; but I want to tell you that your children will not know that the gospel is true, unless they study it and gain a testimony for themselves. Parents are deceiving themselves in imagining that their children will be born with a knowledge of the gospel." (Richard O. Cowan, The Church in the Twentieth Century, p. 319)*...

Gordon B. Hinckley said, "We all do a lot of studying, but most of us don't do much meditation. We don't take time to think. I'd like to suggest that next fast day . . . everybody in this hall set aside an hour or two. Sit by yourself. Go in the bedroom and lock the door. Go out in the yard under a tree. Go in your study if you have one and shut the door, and think about yourself and your worthiness. Read from this great book [Book of Mormon]...There's a great word that's used, 'ponder.' "'Ponder.' What do we mean by 'ponder'? Well, I think it simply means kind of quietly thinking things through. Ponder what you have read. Ponder your life. Are you worthy, are you living the commandments...?" (Church News, 01/06/96) -Christ commanded them to; 1. " ponder upon the things which I have said, 2. ask the Father, in my name, that ye many understand, 3. prepare your minds for the morrow ," (3 Nephi 17:3) -The thing...
