Church members and missionaries in the Pacific were recently instructed, uplifted, and edified by two members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, Elder Neil L. Andersen.
Elder Bednar met with missionaries and members in Tonga, New Zealand, Hawaii, and the Marshall Islands. For members in the Marshall Islands, Elder Bednar's visit was an important event, as it is believed to be the first time a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles had ever visited.
Elder Andersen fulfilled assignments in Australia, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, and French Polynesia.
"As we travel to the isles of the sea and the uttermost parts of the earth, we see the Church is everywhere," Elder Bednar said. "It is firmly established, it is growing, and there are faithful, good people. It is truly miraculous."
