You Never Can Foretell the Consequences

"You never can foretell the consequences of your work as a missionary in this Church. You don't know what will come of it. You may be turned down, you may have the door slammed in your face, you may have all of these things that happen so frequently and think that you've accomplished absolutely nothing, but miracles come out of these very, very small beginnings."

President Gordon B. Hinckley (1910–2008), seminar for new mission presidents, June 23, 2000.

Because of the seed my grandfather planted, Brother Tsuya was baptized, married in the temple, and served as a mission president. He blessed many lives.
