A Latter-day Saint chapel looms large in the distance as three passenger-toting bicyclists pedal along a wide road. Eriabie reflects on a specific time in his mission service when, despite a persistent knee injury, he transported members of an interested family to church service in Akwa Ibom, Nigeria. Eriabie noticed that as he pedaled with this additional load, the pain in his knee subsided, and the missionaries and family arrived at the chapel in high spirits.
“Acts of faith and service can uplift and transform us, just as they do for those we aim to help.”
—Prince Eriabie
