Missionary Work: A Major Responsibility
Ezra Taft Benson April 1974 Sunday Afternoon Session
Humbly and gratefully I stand before you this glorious Sabbath day. I’m sure, President Kimball, that in addition to these lovely sisters of the Tabernacle Choir, we all join in praying for you, our prophet dear, as the song says. May I say to Elder L. Tom Perry, the new member of the Twelve, you are entering one of the sweetest associations among men this side of heaven. We welcome you into the Council of the Twelve and welcome in the same spirit also Elders J. Thomas Fyans and Neal A. Maxwell as Assistants to the Twelve.
