- “By serving and forgiving others with real love, we can be healed and receive the strength to overcome our own challenges.” General Conference, Jose L. Alonso, October 2017
- May 17, 1995 – Wednesday – Quito, Ecuador… “We left from the Conference at 2:30pm to be at Franklin’s house. I left with my head throbbing without being able to think good. Franklin wasn’t there so I got pretty ticked & when we did see him I started questioning him like crazy. Well, he took us in the house & started crying telling us that he is big time depressed, and if something else would happen, he said he might be gone. Needless to say I felt horrible because I had just jumped down his throat. He looked like a helpless child. What bugged me most was that I didn’t follow the Spirit like I should have. So I was thinking of that a lot, and re-evaluating myself.” – Clinton Brown Missionary Journal
