- February 13, 1996 – Tuesday – Quito Ecuador… “About the comment that Elder Ponciano will push Satan out – Satan testified of it today. We were eating some bread & chocolate milk, sitting on a curb. There was a drunk across the street yelling at us, & trying to start something. We just ignored him because it always happens. Well, the drunk grabbed a blade out of his sock and came after us! We both grabbed our books, bread, etc & I went one way and Elder Ponciano the other. He followed Ponciano trying to stab him, but some guy grabbed him so he couldn’t. We left like nothing happened. When we started meditating over the situation we both recalled feelings we had to not be where we were. We didn’t follow the Spirit & we were almost sliced. We need to learn to act on 1st promptings of the Spirit.” – Clinton Brown Missionary Journal
