I read a book by Henry B. Eyring in 2012, just before we moved to Utah. I saved\u00a0quotes from the book that were important to me, but I did it in a notebook that was shuffled around after the move. I found the notebook this week and as I looked through it, I found lists of names that I tried to remember from church in the first few weeks of living in Utah. I have misspelled names and omitted important family members of people that I now know so well that I call them dear to me. Also in this notebook I found these quotes from To Draw Closer to God<\/em> and I’ll share a few with you today as we all\u00a0<\/span>continue to press forward.<\/p>\n

None of the people for whom you\u00a0are responsible can be truly served without your bearing testimony, in some way, of the mission of Jesus Christ. (p. 50)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You’ll understand people better if you assume that people’s behavior is rational, at least from their point of view. Try to see what they see. (p. 59?)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Be on the front row, early, whenever the Master calls. (p. 58)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If we stay at it long enough, perhaps for a lifetime, we will have for so long felt what the Savior feels, wanted what he wants, and done what he would have us do that we will have, through the Atonement, a new heart filled with charity. And we will have become like Him. (p. 71)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To know the Savior, then, is to be like Him. (p. 72)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I promise you that if you use your gifts to serve someone else, you’ll feel the Lord’s love for that person. You’ll also feel His love for you. (p. 88)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You won’t always see the miracles that come from your work, which is probably a blessing. If you did, you would get proud. But you can often underestimate what God is doing as He honors your calling. (p. 101)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The men and women who desire to obtain seats in the Celestial Kingdom will find that they must do battle every day. (Quoting Brigham Young) (p. 114)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How we react when we are surprised will tell our families whether what we have taught and testified lies deep in our hearts. (p. 180)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our faithful effort to offer to our family the testimony we have of the truth will be multiplied in power and extended in time. (p. 182)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All of us in the pursuit of duty touch the lives of others. (p. 183)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
