Elder Yoon Hwan Choi, who has been serving as a counselor in the Asia North Area presidency as an Area Seventy since 2007, was sustained to the First Quorum of the Seventy during the 179th Annual General Conference on April 4.

When he was 16 years old, he and his parents listened to the missionaries and were baptized. Elder Choi's father, Dong Hun Choi, was faithful and a dedicated member missionary. Within 18 months, he brought more than 120 family members and friends into the Church, Elder Choi said. "Every week was a family reunion" in Church meetings, he added with a smile.

He had a strong testimony and was active, especially in youth activities. All the while, he said he harbored the dream of someday becoming a general in the South Korean military, being a leader of men. So when he was asked to speak in stake conference on preparing to serve a mission, he said he couldn't because he wasn't planning on a mission himself.
