"Love is one of the chief characteristics of Deity, and ought to be manifested by those who aspire to be the sons of God. A man filled with the love of God, is not content with blessing his family alone, but ranges through the whole world, anxious to bless the whole human race" (Joseph Smith Jr., Dec. 15, 1840; in Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith [Salt Lake City: Deseret Book, 1969], 174).

"All I can offer the world is a good heart and a good hand" (Joseph Smith Jr., July 9, 1843; in Teachings, 313).

Friday, April 18, 1969

Tonight in an investigator fireside, a film about the Book of Mormon was shown in the chapel. We had three families committed to attend, and none of them showed up except William Jr., who came straight from school.

Work in the mission office saw us downtown in the afternoon banking.

A letter from Karen came today. Spring has come to Utah. She and her sister attended a session of general conference, making her all bubbly and excited and grateful.
