Beyond the border broadcasting, live streaming conferences, prayers, and other messaging opportunities, the leaders of Jesus Christian Church of Jesus Christ will travel as much as possible to teach.
As the general authorities and the judicial officers do these global ministries, training, and visits, they strive to attend as many saints as possible. This is regularly achieved through high -level large -scale conferences, from tens of thousands of stadiums, arenas and community centers to the stake center and the largest appropriate chamber.
However, since the news of church news, demeret news, and the issues of church services as chairman and mission president, the leaders of the church are one -on -one with the so many small group meetings. You can witness to find an exchange. And settings are allowed.
For example, sometimes the apostle may stay for a long time to shake each attendee after a meeting or gathering. Through the investigation and inspiration, the leader finds people who can benefit from personal precautions, follow, comfort, bless, or encourage them.
I provided a blessing to go home to go home, sitting from the knee to the knee in counseling, and attracting someone to the side after a meeting for face -to -face. Several times, I asked if the situation could be included in my report, but in most cases, I am waving, and I learned these immediately and between leaders and individuals. It is a private personal moment. Instead, I simply observe with A Kei.
When the 12 apostles, David A. Bedner, are teaching the resurrected rescuers who have gathered in the rich land (3 knee fai 11), he came to each of them. He emphasizes what he has seen, touches his nails with his hands and feet, feels wound on his side, and all forgive his resurrection and divinity witnesses.
I was not only a witness of modern leaders, but also reaching out to that person, but also my family and me.
During the Ministry of Canada by President Russell M. Nelson in August 2018, I covered his prayer with the saints in the Palais de conjel de Montreal, and then the official parties from the stage. Then, I was told to follow the loading dock behind. At his Montreal Hotel.
At the dock, President Nelson stood on the bottom of the short stairs leading to the car he was waiting for, and expanded his assistance and thanks to each member of the group when they resigned.
When Jeffrey R. Holland at the time of 12 apostles was released in 2008 as a stake -president, he talked with his wife and children and thanked their sacrifice. I spent time before a general session.
Two years ago, while in Jerusalem, 12 apostles, F. Uchitodolf, wrote a note of encouragement in a copy of the “youth strength” for young people.
When my wife and I were a relatively new Arizona Phoenix Mission leader, we were in the mission leadership seminar, 12 apostles, his wife, Melanie Rusband sisters, and other mission leaders, Ronald A. Ras Band I met the elder. He learned that our 16 -year -old son struggled and felt far away. I left my hometown friend, started with a new high school, and was dealing with my parents who were perfect for the mission.
The ras band was sympathetic and had the same experience when my daughter moderated New York New York North Mission. Elder Las Band asked his son to join the mission leader for evening activities and dinner.
Elder Las Band visited with our son, encouraged him, blessed him, and listened to him.
Our family valued and talked about one of these moments for many years. I am grateful for the leader and the example.
And, as the opportunity allows, the general authorities and the general school meet one by one, so I keep my reminder A. And I search for a single moment with my service, search for service and exchange with others, and apply learning.
