From the moment of his conversion, John Taylor was committed to giving his all to the Lord’s work. Reflecting on his call in 1837 to be an Apostle, he shared these thoughts: “The work seemed great, the duties arduous and responsible. I felt my own weakness and littleness; but I felt determined, the Lord being my helper, to endeavor to magnify it. When I first entered upon Mormonism, I did it with my eyes open. I counted the cost. I looked upon it as a life-long labor, and considered that I was not only enlisted for time, but for eternity also, and did not wish to shrink now, although I felt my incompetency.”
