Despite having witnesses of God’s love at a young age, Lance started struggling with his testimony as an elders quorum president. How focusing on the basics brought him clarity.

“In the New Testament there is a story where Jesus heals a blind man and it says: Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. That’s how it was for me, all the sudden it just hit me and I thought: I can’t explain all these things, all I can say is I have felt God’s love, I have felt Jesus’s love and I have felt forgiven for my sins. I have felt the joy that comes from being able to change. I can’t explain all these things, I can only know what has happened to me.”
