"Within the last twenty years a new heartbeat has become clearly detectable in Latin America. It emerged with the rapid social and economic changes of the last three decades that reflected an erosion or breaking of major clusters of old social, economic, and psychological commitments. But this process of rapid change, called for years the "revolution of rising expectations," has been labeled lately by some as "the revolution of rising frustrations." LaMond Tullis suggests five ways that Latter-day Saints can help use our unique talents and mission as a Church to relieve these frustrations. First, become acquainted with Mormons from other lands and learn something about their societies and cultures. Second, if you receive a mission call, know that you must acquire the spiritual conviction and integrity that preaching the gospel requires. Third, as I have emphasized, we need to make a clear distinction between our cultural and other preferences and the gospel of Christ. Fourth, do strive to be openhearted, understanding and devoid of prejudice incompatible with the gospel. Finally, extend yourselves accordingly because opportunities abound now as never before."
