This Great and Amazing Church – The Mormon Church
This video is an excerpt from a devotional address given by Stephen H. Russell at BYU-Hawaii on March 18, 2004. Professor Russell quotes LeGrand Richards concerning an experience Elder Richards had while serving as president of the Netherlands LDS Mission in 1913. LeGrand Richards was a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 1952 until his death in 1993 at age 96. As can be noted from the quote in this video, Elder Richards was an enthusiastic champion of the gospel of Jesus Christ and quick to share the glorious truths of the Restoration. In the foreword to Elder Richards biography “Beloved Apostle,” President Gordon B. Hinckley wrote, “Few men in our generation have done more to advance the work of the Lord than has Elder LeGrand Richards.” Dr. Russell was visiting professor of economics in the School of Business at BYU-Hawaii when this devotional address was given. speeches.byu.edu
