The Savior has set the example for us and commands that “the works which [we] have seen [Him] do that shall [we] also do.”11 I have always been impressed by Moroni’s powerful invitation that he offered as a valedictory admonition at the end of his earthly ministry: “Come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, […]
