“The HEFY Program helped me to forget about myself for two and a half weeks and focus on the other things in this world that really matter, like service, friendship, and the gospel. I'll never forget about this experience and am glad that I went because it will help me while I'm on my mission.”

"This trip changed my life! I loved every minute I spent there! It opened my eyes to the things that really matter the most in life! It strengthened my testimony of service indefinitely! There is truly no greater feeling then when you are serving someone. It's something I can't even describe…I'm so grateful I went on this trip and got to experience a different culture and realize how truly blessed I am. I know that the church is true and going on this trip only strengthened my testimony! I would recommend going to Tonga to anyone. It really is the other side of Heaven."
"I can't put it into words on how much it strengthened me. I learned so much about the gospel and service. I have such a stronger testimony now." | |

I also learned things about myself, like how I feel the spirit, what things I need to work on, and how I blessed I truly am." Taylor, age 17, Salt Lake Utah "This was a life changing experience. I will never forget how hard it was as well as rewarding! It was so much fun and would do it again in a heartbeat." Amanda, age 17, Ogden Utah
