Comments about ‘LDS Church's Elder Russell Nelson, wife robbed in Mozambique’

Sad. I pray for quick recovery for all.

Interesting that they will continue their assignment. In Elder Nelsons professional life he operated on my father who lived twenty additional years because of that operation. My prayers are with them.

It's becoming increasingly difficult to be upbeat, hopeful & looking forward to the future when satan is raging all around in every single facet of this world.
Reading the scriptures, going to church & the Temple, listening to leaders, etc. help to give strength & encouragement in the face of adversity; but nothing is sacred any more, no place is deemed safe, and no one is immune to trials, tragedies or attacks.
Sending heartfelt prayers, asking for Heavenly guidance, and extremely grateful for stalwart leadership.
And definitely very thankful no one was killed or more severely injured...

they are safe and were unharmed..

That's sad.

God Bless Elder Nelson and his wife and all the other Church leaders that were affected by this bad behavior.

Let's pray for this situation. I already did and invite all, who believe in Prayer, to do so also.

Who would attack and harm the innocent and elderly? must have been some bad people

Both the news and D-news try to make it sound like they were attacked because Nelson is a general authority...when these people were just trying to rob someone that looked well off. Most mission pres homes are some of the nicest in the countries, so of course bad people will go after them. Quit trying to make it out like this whole thing is because he is a GA>

How did you come to that conclusion? I thought DN did a good job reporting the facts. I don't see any slant. Keep in mind, DN's readership would find this story more interesting than most other newspaper audiences. I agree that the motive for the theft was probably not related to their religion or position

The D-News has an obligation to say who got robbed. They weren't saying they got robbed because they were church leaders - they were just reporting the facts. Find something else to whine about.

Media! The only place anyone is trying to make it sound as if they were attacked because he is a GA is in your head. Re-read the article and the posts. You are fantasizing.

to medial
I didn't see any cause listed. The article I read said that police were investigating. It said what happened, to whom, and why they were there. No info on the bad guys or their reasons were given.

Satin is all around us. This is the end of days my friends, the end of days! I certainly hope you food storage is up to date.

This is a very dangerous area - I have family currently serving in the Moputo mission. One of the things the american missionaries [who are usually couples] are regularly harrassed by local army types trying to shake them down for money. I'm very glad to hear that no one was seriously harmed. My prayers and thoughts are with these valiant Saints as they serve.

If it's like any of the other incidents in southern Africa, it was done because they were white, which means the perpetrators will get away with it. Even if they're caught, they will just get a slap on the wrist since it's politically correct in the region to victimize anyone that is similar in appearance to their "colonial oppressors". This has been happening for years.

It doesn't give info on the bad guys, because they probably don't have any! This is a news flash, not a in-depth report. By the way, I don't think you mean "medial". I think you mean media

"End of days" it's not, folks. The gospel will go to all the world first. You heard Elder Packer's talk a few short years ago, that even our grandchildren will be able to have families before all that must happen takes place. Lets get busy.

I guess no body is safe from robbers! I am sure security will be enhanced to protect the 12 apostles soon as well!

Fellow Saints, keep this in perspective. This isn't a religious issue. They were targeted because they are wealthy Americans.

Church members are at risk. Satan is everywhere I think we all agree that it is not safe for us anywhere. Be safe and take care of brothers and sisters who are friends among us.
