"My joy in the priesthood is that, although unworthy as I am, God can use me to give relief to some people and put smiles in the faces of others. My favorite part of the priesthood is when I am able to attend to the sick and when I am able to meet the needs of the needy, whether spiritually, materially or emotionally. The joy of others that comes through my hands is my fulfilment."
