Elder Renlund Sees Church Donations in Action at University Hospital in Uruguay

On Monday, November 10, Elder Dale G. Renlund of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, and his wife, Ruth, visited the Clinical Hospital Dr. Manuel Quintela in Montevideo, Uruguay, where Elder Renlund had the opportunity to see how the Church’s donations over the past 14 years have helped improve healthcare in Uruguay.
“We have been impressed by the compassion, love, and desire to help shown by the doctors and healthcare providers we have met,” Elder Renlund said. “Their example reminds us that serving others is one of the purest expressions of God’s love.”

Elder Caussé Calls Care for God’s Creations an ‘Expression of Love’

Elder Gérald Caussé said Friday that preserving and caring for the earth and God’s children is “an expression of love for our Creator and a reflection of our sincere gratitude to Him.”The newest member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints spoke about caring for God’s creations from the campus of Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, to hundreds gathered for two separate conferences — one on environmental stewardship and the other on stewardship to care for those in need.

Elder Caussé’s invitation to those present was simple.

“It is an invitation to act,” the Bordeaux, France native said. “As disciples of Jesus Christ, we have a sacred duty to keep the flame of God’s love burning in our hearts and to let its light shine within our communities. The Lord asks us to be aware of the broader world around us — something more possible than ever in our connected age — while remaining grounded and actively engaged in the places where we live and serve.”
