Describing our interactions with others, Elder Jeffrey R.
Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles counsels: “More important than
speaking is listening. These people are not lifeless objects disguised as a
baptismal statistic. They are children of God, our brothers and sisters, and
they need what we have. Be genuine. Reach out sincerely. Ask these friends what
matters most to them. . . . And then
listen. . . . I promise you that something
in what they say will always
highlight a truth of the gospel about which you can bear testimony and about
which you can then offer more.”
Jeffrey R. Holland, “Witnesses unto Me,” Ensign, May 2001,
15.
