That the fulness of my gospel might be proclaimed by the weak and the simple unto the ends of the world, and before kings and rulers. D&C 1:23
Some wish aloud, “If only we could convert a movie star, a famous athlete, or a prominent religious leader, then people would surely pay more attention to us.” In fact, never has the divine truth been carried principally on the backs of the mighty and great ones of the earth. “For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: but God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things that are mighty” (1 Corinthians 1:26-27). We who see through a glass darkly must be reminded occasionally that the Almighty has his own timetable and his own plan for how his gospel is to be presented; he is able to do his own work (2 Nephi 27:20). .
