Samuel Borén was a talented soccer player on the cusp of a promising career when he found and was baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Within just a few years of his baptism, he was called to a leadership position and had to choose between that and an offer to play in a higher-level soccer league. Although it was difficult, he felt impressed to let the soccer career go.
