Lesson Quotes:
Elder Dallin H. Oaks
“The intensity of our desire to share the gospel is a great indicator of the extent of our personal conversion.” (Oct. 2001 General Conference)
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland
“It seems that the essence of our mortal journey and the answers to the most significant questions in life are distilled down to these two very brief elements in the opening scenes of the Savior’s earthly ministry. One element is the question put to every one of us on this earth: ‘What seek ye? What do you want?’ The second is His response to our answer, whatever that answer is. Whoever we are and whatever we reply, His response is always the same: ‘Come,’ He says lovingly. ‘Come, follow me.’ Wherever you are going, first come and see what I do, see where and how I spend my time. Learn of me, walk with me, talk with me, believe. Listen to me pray. In turn you will find answers to your own prayers. God will bring rest to your souls” (“He Hath Filled the Hungry with Good Things,” Ensign, Nov. 1997, 65).
Elder Neil A. Anderson
“Whether or not the invitation is accepted, as you invite others to “come and see” you will feel the approval of the Lord. And with that approval, an added measure of faith to share your beliefs again and again.” (April 2013 General Conference)
President James E. Faust
(Harold B. Lee, BYU Speech 9 Nov. 1954—see also Faust CR April 2001 where he retold the story)
“Many years ago an elder who served a mission in the British Isles said at the end of his labors, “I think my mission has been a failure. I have labored all my days as a missionary here and I have only baptized one dirty little Irish kid. That is all I baptized.”
“Years later, after his return to his home in Montana, he had a visitor come to his home who asked, “Are you the elder who served a mission in the British Isles in 1873?”
“Yes.”
Then the man went on, “And do you remember having said that you thought your mission was a failure because you had only baptized one dirty little Irish kid?”
He said, “Yes.”
The visitor put out his hand and said, “I would like to shake hands with you. My name is Charles A. Callis, of the Council of the Twelve of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I am that dirty little Irish kid that you baptized on your mission.” (CR April 2001)
