As many of you know, my oldest son is serving a mission in Mexico. Most of the people in the area that he is serving in right now are very poor.
This week Elder Archibald sent us pictures of a man that he and his companion had the awesome opportunity to baptize. This man is an 83 year old farmer. His name is Pedro. He is very poor and he is a nobody in the eyes of the world. But in the eyes of the Lord, this poor humble farmer, is just as precious, just as valuable, and just as important, maybe even more so, than the richest person on the earth.
In Doctrine & Covenants 18:10 we read: "Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God".
I pray that we will all remember the worth of all souls in the eyes of God. I pray that we will treat all of our brothers and sisters the way our Savior would throughout this Holiday Season, and hopefully throughout the entire year. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
-Brother Archibald, High Councilor
