Elder Kofford Quote: “In contrast to the bombastic and cynical arguments of opposing counsel, your advocate began your defense as a trickle and built to the force of a mighty river. Humbly, softly, meaningfully, and compellingly, he pled your case. I knew the impact he was having when I saw tears streaming down the cheeks of many in the courtroom. I don’t remember all of his arguments and logic, but I do remember him saying that man is a little lower than the angels (see  Ps. 8:5) and that the worth of souls is great (see D&C; 18:10) In one of the most majestic moments, his eyes filled with compassion and his voice quivering with indignation, he admonished, “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone.”  (John 8:7) [1991–O:27, Cree-L Kofford, The Ultimate Inheritance—An Allegory]

Elder Soares Quote: “I testify to you that following our Master’s footsteps and waiting on Him who is the ultimate healer of our lives will provide rest to our souls and make our burdens easy and light.” [2019–O:113, Ulisses Soares, Take Up Our Cross]
