- “January 14th, 1995 – Quito Ecuador- Jeffrey R. Holland Meeting – Saturday Elder Holland called President Hunter to tell him what he was going to do here in Quito. President Hunter told him to tell the missionaries that he loved them so much. I realized how much love the Savior has for me.

- January 14th, 1995 – Saturday. Quito Ecuador – Jeffrey R. Holland Conference…”After, we all went to the chapel and we waited for Jeffrey R. Holland. He came in and it was a great feeling to be in his presence. During his talk his personality really showed. He has a great sense of humor. One time he went and kissed the translator on the cheek because he could not translate because the spirit was so strong. I had the opportunity to shake his hand which I’ll never forget. I also realized that the 12 Apostles love us. Elder Holland called President Hunter to tell him what he was going to do here in Quito.

- 3 Nephi 23:11…And Jesus said unto them: How be it that ye have not written this thing, that many saints did arise and appear unto many and did minister unto them?
- “The veil which separates us from the spirit world sometimes seems very thin to us…however, surely those who have passed beyond, can see more clearly through the veil back here to us than it is possible for us to see them from our sphere of action. I believe we move and have our being in the presence of heavenly messengers and heavenly beings. We are NOT separate from them ….we are close to our kindred, to our ancestors, to our friends, and associates and co-laborers who have preceded us into the spirit world.They see us better than we can remember them….they know us better than we know them….I claim we live in their presence, they see us, they are solicitous of our welfare, they love us now more than ever…For they see the dangers that beset us; they can comprehend, better than ever before, the weaknesses that are liable to mislead us into dark and forbidden paths. They see the temptations and the evils that beset us in life and the proneness of mortal beings to yield to temptation and to do wrong; hence their love for us, the solicitude for us, and their love for us, and their desire for our well being, must be greater than that which we feel for ourselves.” Joseph F. Smith, Gospel Doctrine p.429
