Two Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints met with the new president of Liberia in the capital of Monrovia on Thursday, February 22, 2024. Elder David A. Bednar and Elder Patrick Kearon of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles traveled to the West African country for a special meeting with Liberia President Joseph Boakai, who took office a month ago.
“I think we had a magnificent conversation about the purpose, the role of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in all the world, and how that relates to what’s taking place in Liberia,” said Elder Bednar.
The meeting took place in the executive mansion. President Boakai told the senior Church leaders that his country faces many challenges. “This country needs transformation,” he said.
Elder Bednar shared the Church of Jesus Christ’s desire to help the people of Liberia: “We want to know how we can help you.”
“It was an excellent meeting,” said Elder Kearon. “This is a country that saw years of strife. It’s finding its feet. And we’ve talked about what our members can do and perhaps what some of our humanitarian work can do to assist here.”
