"True conversion is more than merely having a knowledge of gospel
principles and implies even more than just having a testimony of those
principles. It is possible to have a testimony of the gospel without
living it. Being truly converted means we are acting upon what we
believe and allowing it to create a mighty change in us, or in our
hearts. In the booklet
True to the Faith,
we learn that 'conversion is a process, not an event. You become
converted as a result of … righteous efforts to follow the Savior.
'
It takes time, effort, and work. My great-great-grandmother had a
strong conviction that the gospel was more important for her children
than all that the world had to offer in the way of wealth and comfort
because she had sacrificed, endured, and lived the gospel. Her
conversion came through living the principles of the gospel and
sacrificing for them." - Bonnie L. Oscarson
