From February 12 to 20, 2011, Elder Quentin L. Cook of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles visited the Saints in Korea and Japan.
He taught Church members in Seoul, Korea, that we should be grateful for what we have rather than focusing on what we don't have. He reminded them that the gospel provides the joy, happiness, and peace we all seek.
Elder Cook also met with journalists from several newspapers for a question-and-answer session.
Elder Cook spent time teaching, advising, and answering questions from missionaries in the Korea Daejeon Mission and participated in a priesthood leadership conference for the Korea Daejeon Mission area.
The visit ended with Elder Cook's participation in a stake conference held by the Cheongju Korea Stake, the stake's first visit from an Apostle.
Elder Cook also participated in a priesthood leadership conference in Kobe, Japan, and the Okayama Japan Stake conference; visited with representatives from Meiji Shrine in Tokyo, Japan; and made a brief visit to Vietnam.
