Joseph and Sidney are told to go teach the Gospel with confidence. So we study how we can build our own confidence. What does the Bible and Book of Mormon teach about how to have confidence? It's an exciting Come Follow Me topic for the week.

Plus we end with a message from President Nelson on how we develop confidence in our lives.
