"Take Two Steps Into the Unknown" — the Seminary Lesson That Sent a Missionary

During a seminary lesson on faith in Draper, Utah, a teacher invited a student to the front of the classroom, blindfolded him, and set obstacles before him. The teacher's instruction became the phrase Kynnli could not forget: "Take two steps into the unknown." When the student removed the blindfold, he found himself looking at a picture of Christ, and the moment moved him deeply. Watching the object lesson, Kynnli applied it to her own hesitation about serving a mission: she did not know where she would be called or what it would be like, but the prompting distilled into a single decision — to take her own two steps into the unknown and start. She went home and submitted her mission papers that senior year, a decision that led to her call to the Tahiti Papeete Mission, where the Lord had already prepared remarkable experiences for her among the Tahitian people.
