Remember, young men, that purity precedes power. The Lord said, 'But purify your hearts before me and then go ye into all the world, and preach my gospel unto every creature who has not received it' (D&C 112:28). Missionaries discover this very early in their missions and make every effort to be worthy so they can serve with power.
