HOLINESS TO THE LORD
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD

"At the temple the dust of distraction seems to settle out, the fog and the haze seem to lift, and we can 'see' things that we were not able to see before and find a way through our troubles that we had not previously known."
—Boyd K. Packer

Elder and Sister Stevenson Minister to the Saints in Cali, Colombia

Two weeks following a 7.4-magnitude earthquake, Elder Gary E. Stevenson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and his wife, Sister Lesa Stevenson, traveled to southwest Colombia to minister to the members of the Church. "We want you to know that you’re not alone. Our hearts are with you. The First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles pray for you," he said. Before speaking to a group of hundreds of Saints, they visited the Cali Colombia Temple site. The neighborhood surrounding the site was significantly affected by the earthquake, but the temple itself was unharmed.
