Mexico Youth Tour

The Church's Young Men and Young Women general presidents visited six

cities in Mexico this January, meeting with local youth leaders and

addressing more than 10,000 teens.

\"What we saw is what we were hoping for,\" said Sister Elaine S. Dalton.

\"These choice descendants of Lehi are blossoming like a rose, just like the

scriptures say. They are rising and shining as never

before.\"Brother Charles W. Dahlquist II added the recent tour \"was a great trip\"

marked by fellowship and training. The tour provided the general youth

leaders an opportunity to remind the young people of Mexico that they are

beloved children of God with a special purpose in life.

The trip marked the first time the Young Men General President and Young

Women General President — with their spouses — have traveled

together to train local leadership and meet with the youth.
