When called to the Council of the Twelve, October 4, 1963, he said in the Salt Lake Tabernacle I think of a little sister, a French-Canadian sister, whose life was changed by the missionaries as her spirit was touched.

But President, far better, now that I am a member of this Church, I can obey the Prophet.' View quote
