"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).

Saturday, June 14, 1969

President and Sister Johnson and Wendy were traveling to conference in Belo Horizonte this weekend. No cook showed up at the mission home, and so we fixed our own meal: fried chicken, potatoes and gravy, buttered carrots, and fresh strawberries.

Irmão Sandri, the Petrópolis Branch president, was in Rio for a branch presidents meeting. He stopped in with Elders Braithwaite and Mourão to see us.
