An apostle and members of the Seventy of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints visited Mormons in the South Pacific recently.

Elder Oaks was joined by his wife, Kristen, and accompanied by Elder F. Michael Watson of the Seventy.
“Following Christ is not a casual or occasional practice,” Elder Oaks said, “but a continuous commitment and way of life that applies at all times and in all places.”
Local Mormons were grateful for Elder Oaks’s inspiring message coupled with his great sense of humor. They said his message will have a positive impact on the people.

His visits will also include other parts of New Zealand and Australia.
Elsewhere in the South Pacific, Elder Ronald A. Rasband, senior member of the Presidency of the Seventy; his wife, Melanie; Elder James J. Hamula, Pacific Area president of the Church; and Pacific Area Seventy and Fiji citizen Elder Taniela Wakolo visited the chiefly village of Narewa in Fiji.

Members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and Seventy travel throughout the world, where the Church is organized, fulfilling their calling to minister to the people.
