“Many people imagine that charity is giving a dollar to somebody; but real, genuine charity is giving love and sympathy, and that is the kind of charity that the apostle [Paul] had reference to in this 13th chapter of First Corinthians.”

“The Heber J. Grant Program provides a vehicle to partake of the atonement. It has taught me about leadership by being able to be a leader and be guided. Being able to be involved in leadership has allowed me to give back while still in school. I feel very indebted for the great blessing this program has been in my life. It has not only affected me but also my family back home and my future family. I owe a lot of the change, to the experiences that I have had in the program.”
