“Two missionaries approached a four-story apartment
building. They knocked on each door of the first floor. No one would listen.
The same thing happened until they came to the last door of the fourth floor. When
that door opened, a girl smiled at them and asked them to wait while she spoke
with her mother. At first her mother didn’t want to listen, but the
missionaries left her with a copy of Book of Mormon to read. The mother did
read this sacred book, and she and her two daughters entered the waters of
baptism. The young woman who had pleaded with her mother to listen to the missionaries—is
Harriet, my wonderful wife, the sunshine in my life. How often have I lifted my
heart in gratitude for the two missionaries who did not stop at the first
floor! God rewards those who earnestly seek him, but that reward is not usually
behind the first door.” – President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
