What would make someone leave a life of comfort and stability to follow Jesus Christ full-time?
In this heartfelt testimony, Elder Palmer shares how he went from long oil field shifts and cowboy life in Utah to serving as a full-time missionary in Canada. Through prayer, scripture study, and personal revelation, he found a deeper purpose and joy in dedicating his life to Christ.
