"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).

Wednesday, August 13, 1969

Last evening and tonight Elder Nielson and I worked together while Elders Richins and Stewart were together. Tuesday we taught a lesson in the other area while Elder Richins interviewed Victor for baptism. Tonight we taught a first lesson to a man named Nilton Luiz. He and his family accepted it well. The others taught a group, in which two widowed ladies were the only sharp ones, a Joaquina and an Aesteria by name.

Monday we taught a second lesson to José and Tania.
