A VISIT FROM A GENERAL AUTHORITY AND HIS WIFE
We are privileged to have our first "mission tour" by Elder Arnulfo Valenzuela and his wife, Sister Pilar Valenzula. Elder Valenzuela is the first counselor in our Area Presidency, and a General Authority, member of the Seventy. They are both natives of Mexico and are both bi-lingual - which was such a blessing for me. They stayed with us in their home and enjoyed getting to know them personally. They are lovely, lovely people. We held two zone conferences and one mission leadership council under the direction of Elder Valenzuela. These events were spiritual meetings and very motivating to us all. May I share with you a few things we were taught, and invite you to consider these practices in your life as well? 1. He asked the missionaries to share with them their favorite Book of Mormon scripture. After they read it, he asked them this question: What are the promises made to you in this scripture passage and what do you need to do to realize these promises? 2
