I remember very vividly the day after day that I walked over to the temple and ascended up to the fourth floor where we have our solemn assemblies, where we have our meetings, the Twelve and the Presidency. And after everybody had gone out of the temple, I knelt and prayed. And I prayed with such fervency, I tell you! I knew that something was before us that was extremely important to many of the children of God.

And I knew that we could receive the revelations of the Lord only by being worthy and, uh, ready for them and, uh, ready to accept them and to put them into place. Day after day I went, and with great solemnity and seriousness, alone in the upper rooms of the temple. And there I offered my soul, and offered our efforts to go forward with the program, and we wanted to do what He wanted, because we talked about it to Him.

And we said, Lord, we want only what is right. We're not making any plans to be spectacularly moving. We want only the thing that Thou dost want, and we want it when You want it and not until. We met all the Council of the Twelve Apostles time after time in that holy room where is the picture of the Savior in many different moods and the pictures of all of the presidents of the church in this room.

And finally, we had the feeling, we had the impressions from the Lord, who made them very clear to us, that this was the thing to do to make the gospel universal to all worthy people.
