This is a picture of Elder and Sister Bennet from Tahiti. They were called to serve in Madagascar. The story of Elder Bennett is a wonderful statement of the power of one standing up for what he believed.

He was baptized as a young man and embraced the gospel with his whole heart. He was a world class soccer player as well and was the best player in all of French Polynesia. He was sought after by every soccer club and team. The problem he faced was that they played all of their major matches on Sunday so after he joined the church he told them he would not play on Sunday. His humble and firm commitment impacted the leaders of the league so much that they all voted to discontinue matches on Sunday. One man standing up for what he knew was right. What impressed me is his wonderful humility then and now. When I read the story a number of years ago I was so very touched and now to have the chance to meet him was like meeting one of my heroes face to face.
