Get Ready to Work Miracles

Give me a young man who has kept himself morally clean and has faithfully attended his Church meetings. Give me a young man who has magnified his priesthood and has earned his Duty to God Award and is an Eagle Scout (or equivalent). Give me a young man who is a seminary graduate and has a burning testimony of the Book of Mormon. Give me such a man, and I give you a young man who can perform miracles for the Lord in the mission field and throughout his life. President Ezra Taft Benson

Get Ready to Work Miracles

Give me a young woman who loves home and family, who reads and ponders the scriptures daily, who has a burning testimony of the Book of Mormon. Give me a young woman who faithfully attends her Church meetings, who is a seminary graduate, who has earned her Young Womanhood Recognition award and wears it with pride! Give me a young woman who is virtuous and who has maintained her personal purity, who will not settle for less than a temple marriage, and I will give you a young woman who will perform miracles for the Lord now and throughout eternity. President Ezra Taft Benson
