[an experience of Heber C. Kimball] “Being in charge of the Endowment House, while the Temple was in the process of construction, Heber C. Kimball met with a group who were planning to enter the temple for ordinance work. He felt impressed that some were not worthy to go into the temple, and he suggested first that if any present were not worthy, they might retire. No one responding, he said that there were some present who should not proceed through the temple because of unworthiness and he wished they would leave so the company could proceed. It was quiet as death and no one moved nor responded. A third time he spoke, saying that there were two people present who were in adultery, and if they did not leave he would call out their names. Two people walked out and the company continued on through the temple.” (Spencer W. Kimball, Miracle of Forgiveness, p. 112)
“Often blessed with the power to know and understand beyond their experience, women draw on this strength as they visit monthly to teach in the homes or to assess needs as directed by the bishop. We use it as we nurture our children and teach them the gospel… . Discernment is critical for our times. President Boyd K. Packer has said, ‘We need women with the gift of discernment who can view the trends in the world and detect those that, however popular, are shallow’ (Ensign, Nov. 1978, p. 8). That is exactly what we need.” (Elaine Jack, Ensign, Nov. 1996, p. 77)
