SEARCH AND RESCUE
A person who has experienced true
conversion draws upon the power of the Atonement and receives salvation for her own soul, then reaches out to exert a
powerful influence upon all those who know her. As you are converted, you will have a desire to
share with others what you have learned, and your confidence and ability to testify to others with
conviction and power will increase. Bonnie Oscarson, October 2013
General Conference
You cannot lift another soul until
you are standing on higher ground than he is. You must be sure, if you would rescue the man, that you
yourself are setting the example of what you would have him be. You cannot light a fire in
another soul unless it is burning in your own soul. Harold B. Lee April 1973 General
Conference
We are surrounded by those in need of
our attention, our encouragement, our support, our comfort, our kindness. There are feet to steady, hands to
grasp, minds to encourage, hearts to inspire, and souls to save. … We are the Lord’s hands here upon the earth,
with the mandate to serve and to lift His children. He is dependent upon each of us. … We are on the Lord’s
errand, and therefore we are entitled to the Lord’s help. Thomas S. Monson 2001/2009 General

sound understanding by diligently searching the scriptures and by treasuring
them up in your hearts. Then as you ask for the Lord’s help, He will bless you
with His Spirit and His word. You will have the power of God unto the
convincing of men. Elder David McConkie October 2013
