Who is a friend you will never forget?
–
In August of 2005, I left on a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I was called to serve in the Florida, Orlando Mission, Spanish speaking.
–
One of the greatest blessings during my mission (or curses 🤣😬) was this brother. Not long before I left on my mission, he was being taught by missionaries. He was baptized and left his home in Ecuador and came to the United States of America.
–
David Chuki will always be a friend and a brother to me. He taught me how to speak Spanish and spent nearly a year with me going on visits to our assigned area.
–
David was at the temple when I was married, let me borrow his car when I returned to visit Florida and continues to check on me 15 years later. He is back living in Ecuador, but the friendship remains.
–
Elder Rasband advised all of us that a very important element of our experience in the gospel is the friends we make and the mentors we follow.
–
The only way to have a friend is to be a friend.
–
During our times of trouble, be a friend. The Lord set forth that example for us. Now, let’s follow him!
