A visit from an apostle

This post is a little late in coming.

Elder Jeffery R. Holland of the twelve apostles visited Cambodia in late August.  He presided over four hours of training for priesthood leaders on Saturday, a two-hour general session on Sunday morning and a two-hour meeting with all the missionaries serving in Cambodia Sunday afternoon.  It was a wonderful experience.

The Sunday morning general session was attended by a couple thousand Cambodian members of the Church.  Here is a view from behind Elder Holland and other visiting authorities looking out at the large audience of the faithful.  The missionaries were asked to sit at the very back.


The Sunday afternoon session with the missionaries was very powerful.  The missionaries will carry its impact for a long time.  A group photo was taken of all the missionaries in Cambodia surrounding Elder Holland. We are so privileged to serve among them.



After the group picture, we were able to shake hands with an apostle of the Lord, Jesus Christ. Elder Holland just exudes love and compassion. We love him.


For missionary moms (and dads):  Here are some random missionary pictures from the luncheon that preceded the missionary session with Elder Holland.

All in all, it was a spiritually exhilarating two days.
