During a recent stake conference in Europe, I asked the stake president if Sister Hafen and I might visit one or two of his stake members who could use a little encouragement.

The longer we talked, the more compassion I felt, as I learned that the operative word for him really was “suffer.”<ref>{{Periodical:Hafen:Evergreen:2009}}</ref>
