Elder Nielsen Lifts Spirits in Samoa

Elder S. Gifford Nielsen of the Pacific Area Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints met with members of the Church in Sagone, Samoa this past weekend.

The Latter-day Saint General Authority presided at the Church’s Sagone Samoa Stake Conference 25-26 April, meeting with leaders, members, missionaries and guests of the Church.

The conference was held at the Faiaai Stake Center on Savaii, the largest of the Samoan islands. 

At the final session on Sunday, Elder Nielsen spoke of the importance of recognising each individual’s freedom to choose for himself or herself to use the teachings and counsel received at the two-day conference. 

He also taught local church leaders how important it is to reach out to those in need and those not currently engaged in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
