At the April 1985 general conference, Elder Henry B. Eyring spoke of an experience he had years earlier while on assignment in Brazil and riding in a car with two missionaries.
"After we had become acquainted, I leaned back over the seat and asked, 'What would you like to know about?' Both of the missionaries, eagerly and almost in chorus, said, 'Tell us how we can become more humble.'
"You might have struggled with that as I did," he said. "I only remember the green hills of Brazil going by as I tried — and the feeling at the end that I failed. If only I could have that chance again on this beautiful day. . . . I think I could help them a little more now.
"First, I would have realized that they already had the first lesson in their hearts. The fact that they even asked meant that they had gone beyond being overwhelmed by their doubts about themselves to hope that if they would just submit, if they could just learn what to do, they could be better. If I had the chance again, I would have told them that. And then I would have given them just one bit of counsel — counsel about what to do. I would have said just this: 'Always remember him.' " (Moroni 4:3.)
