Speaking to his largest gathering ever outside the United States, President Russell M. Nelson urged more than 37,000 Brazilians on Sunday to teach their children and help them achieve the “highest blessings” in Latter-day Saint temples.
“Some of these children you have are some of the brightest children that the Lord has ever let come to planet Earth,” the 94-year-old head of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints said in his final sermon of a five-nation Latin American tour.
Thousands of church members lined up for eight hours to hear the man they revere as a “prophet, seer and revelator” before filling Sao Paulo’s Anhembi Convention Center, according to a church news release.
