Dave: When Beth and I were asked to speak at today's devotional, we were simultaneously humbled and excited by the opportunity to share our testimonies with you, our brothers and sisters. We remembered that Bill and Dianna Neal gave an inspiring presentation last year, providing a worthy example for us to emulate. But in some ways, giving a presentation together is even more challenging than speaking alone. For instance, who should get the last word?

Brothers and Sisters, aloha! It is so great to be with you. As my wife said, we thoroughly love BYU–Hawaii. I considered this campus my home, growing up, and as a student. Of course the greatest thing was meeting May. I've also had the opportunity to take classes from stellar, wonderful professors, many of whom still teach here. And I feel my testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ grew tremendously, so thank you very much for being here.
Well it's wonderful to be here and I hope you'll indulge me for a minute as I make a couple of personal comments. Most of my missionaries who came here to school after their missions have now gone on in their career. However there are two younger siblings of two of my missionaries here today. Odbayar Badamjav and Arti Vandhana Nair. And for a moment, I'd like to show a slide if I might. Two weeks ago my wife and I had the opportunity to be witness at one of our missionaries, Brother Badamjav's older brother, Odgrel, to his sweet heart Masa. This is a picture of his family from Mongolia and some of their friends standing in the front of the Bountiful temple. This picture is hot off the press as of last night and I wanted him [Odbayar Badamjav] to see it since he was not able to attend the temple with him at that time. When I was there in the temple I was reminded forcefully of how the Lord is building His worldwide church, one family at a time, as they are sealed in the temple, and as they go to take up the cause of Zion wherever they may go in the world. I look forward to seeing both of these younger siblings of my missionaries after the talk today.

Two weeks ago I accompanied Elder Jeffrey R. Holland on a visit to the Federal Parliament of Australia, where he met with political leaders. It so happens that eighty-one of our young single adults from across Australia were also in Parliament House that day. They were there as part of our public affairs outreach efforts; they were meeting political leaders, attending Question Time; they even participated in a mock debate chaired by The Speaker.

Aloha! My name is Won Yong Ko. I am honored to have an opportunity to visit to BYU–Hawaii and to speak in a devotional with President and Sister Wheelwright and many wonderful faculty members and students.
What a great privilege it is to be together with all of you in this beautiful Hawaiian setting. Sytske and I are enjoying the Aloha spirit and the opportunity to get to know you. We have recently been called to serve as ward missionaries. This has given us a renewed interest in the “Preach My Gospel” manual that many of you are familiar with. Just as a matter of curiosity, please raise your hand if you have served a full-time mission. As we reflect upon the spiritual guidance we have received from the Holy Ghost, we are a bit overwhelmed by the many blessings that are coming our way. We are promised that if we follow the Lord and keep His commandments, the blessings will flow. I would like to quote from Elder Keith Hilbig of the Seventy. The beckoning invitations of the world attempt to divert our attention from the strait and narrow path. The adversary labors to dull our sensitivity to the promptings of the Spirit, whether we are teenagers, young adults, or mature men and women. The role of the Spirit, the Holy Ghost, is essential in every season of our mortal lives.
