It is vital that missionaries know that their president is committed to and has a testimony of the Book of Mormon, said Elder Quentin L. Cook of the Quorum of the Twelve.
\"They must know this first to be effective missionaries, but second, and even more important, they must know it as a fortification for life,\" he said June 27 at the 2009 New Mission Presidents Seminar. \"It must be so deep in their souls that they can withstand the vicissitudes of life. In a world that is in commotion, they need the protection and armor that comes from a testimony of the Book of Mormon.\"
