  • May 9, 1995 – Tuesday – Quito Ecuador… “Today was another spiritually uplifting day.  We talked with President Farnsworth for about 4 hours! …..He also explained that the “Discussions are there to wake up what the investigators learned in the Pre-mortal life.”  So the chosen are going to listen & remember only by the Spirit.  The investigators that progress are chosen, those that don’t….we shouldn’t waste our time.  He gave us a lot of advice & knowledge today…..I could see the importance of this missionary work.  We need to find the chosen – and quick!!!  I realize how important and urgent it is to inform the people.  I also realized that the Lord was telling me to get prepared to not forget the changes I’d made here in the mission and to keep growing daily – spiritually.  Man, I have a deep desire to learn more about the gospel and live it.  Now I need to apply it.  The desire doesn’t mean a thing if you don’t act on it.  I pray I can live up to the calling I have now as a missionary and plus my calling I have in my life.” – Clinton Brown Missionary Journal
