Maybe they go because that's what everyone in their family did, maybe they don't know what they want in life yet and this will help them figure it out, or maybe just maybe they are doing it because they know that they love the savior and believe in the gospel and want to help others come unto him in this way.                     For me personally, it's that last one mixed with a very important promise to a very special lady.
