Speaking near the capital cities of Costa Rica and Colombia in January, Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles bore testimony of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and Their ability to both help and bless individuals who turn to Them and follow Their commandments.
When speaking to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Ojo de Agua Ward of the Heredia Costa Rica Belén Stake on Sunday, Jan. 12, Elder Uchtdorf compared his learning of Spanish to a new member of the Church learning about the gospel of Jesus Christ.
“If I learn a few Spanish words today, and you ask me tomorrow what the words are in Spanish, I might have forgotten already,” he confessed. “That is how it is when you join the Church of Jesus Christ. We have to be patient with each other, help each other to learn.”
