36 Diamond Stars



“Years ago a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles asked me to read a talk he was preparing for general conference. I was a junior member of the quorum. I was honored by his confidence that I might help him find the words the Lord would have him speak. I remembered the counsel a loving and kind President Harold B. Lee had given me earlier: “Hal, if you want to get revelation, do your homework.” I read, pondered, and prayed. I studied as best I could under the influence of the Holy Ghost. I’m not sure I helped, but I know I was changed when I heard the talk given. Messages came to me far beyond the words I had read and that he spoke. The words had greater meaning than the ones I had read in the draft. And the message seemed to be meant for me, fitted to my needs.” – President Henry B. Eyring
