"God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16 [19659007] ). Jesus Christ suffered in Gethsemane, died on the cross, was buried and resurrected on the third day, as Brother McGrath taught. Through his atonement, he allowed us to be together with our families forever. We invite everyone to come to Christ – to accept his doctrine and to follow the laws and covenants of his gospel because he is the way, the truth and the life. Jesus Christ is the True and Living Son of the True and Living God. He is the Savior and Redeemer of the world.
"I am grateful to have been his servant for the last two years," said Elder McGrath. "True happiness has just followed him forever, I feel blessed to have shared his message and his doctrine with the people I have met." The people of Argentina are very generous and hospitable, and I am a better man to have known them and to have shared the good news and the good news of Jesus Christ. "
