Richard G. Scott visits Mozambique

Elder Richard G. Scott of the Quorum of the 12 recently traveled to Mozambique, and other apostles have recently visited the Marshall Islands, other areas of the Pacific, and Central America. The first time Elder Scott visited Mozambique, there were only 40 members. On his recent second visit there were over 5,000 members in two districts, with 19 branches. He excited the members in Mozambique by speaking Portuguese, the official language.
