"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, August 28, 1970

The entire week was spent in feverish and exhausting preparations for the carnival. Since Thursday was a holiday, we had a workday at the chapel for all the members. All day today was spent decorating.
Elders Prisbrey and Morrell arrived this evening from Recife to help us out tomorrow. We sure need them. Elder Camargo planned to come with Elder Prisbrey but could not because he works with MIA in Recife.

Elder Christensen conducted Monday’s district meeting. Fasting and prayer as missionary tools was the assigned theme.
