Elder Dale G. Renlund encouraged Latter-day Saints in Honduras to exercise and increase their faith during a recent ministry assignment to the Central American country.
The Apostle and member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was accompanied by his wife, Sister Ruth Renlund; Elder Patricio M. Giuffra, a member of the Central America Area Presidency, and his wife, María Eugenia Giuffra; and Elder Favio M. Durán, an Area Seventy, and his wife, Nusly Durán
Meeting with Church Members
During various meetings with Church members and leaders in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, February 18-19, Elder Renlund shared messages of spiritual strength, hope and encouragement. He urged Saints to exercise faith in Jesus Christ and do things that will only increase faith, since “faith only increases or decreases.”
He also answered questions and gave advice to Church members on how to withstand tribulations and obtain peace in the midst of them. “How much are you worth?” he asked. “You are worth what Jesus Christ was willing to pay!”
Elder Renlund said he is a normal, not particularly special man, but as an Apostle of of Jesus Christ, he represents One who is special — the Savior and Redeemer “and our friend.”
Sister Renlund said that according to the law of the harvest, everything we sow, we reap. “If we want to be people of love, we must plant love in our hearts,” she said.
Donation to CANFM-BELEN
While in Honduras, Sister Renlund also attended the Church’s donation of hygiene kits and clothing for migrant families who had returned from the “CANFM-BELEN” Center for Attention to Migrant Children and Families, which is administered by the Honduran Red Cross.
The donation — consisting of 90 men’s kits, 50 women’s kits, 51 children’s kits, 64 clothing kits and several bottled water packages — complemented a project providing more than 8,000 migrants with food, transportation and other services.
