“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
