“You never have sexual thoughts?” President Oaks poses to young Elder Quaid. But Quaid doesn’t budge. “No,” he answers, “never.” Oaks is puzzled. As far as he can tell, Quaid is telling the truth, and Oaks’s reads are almost always accurate. The man is known for his uncanny ability to see into the souls of the young missionaries and decipher all of their lies and deceit. He understands that it’s all wrapped up in fear, shame and anguish, so he doesn’t take the lying personally. He simply wants to cut through it so he can help the missionary boys become the best servants they can be. It is all part of the program for Oaks. But as he looks into Quiad's eyes, he sees no dishonesty. How can a boy be so chaste, so pure as to never have sexual fantasies about anyone? Inside, he is even a little hurt. Oaks has taken a special interest in Quaid and was sure that the boy felt some sort of attraction towards him. But he fights this instinct.
