President Russell M. Nelson capped off his South American tour Sunday with the dedication of the Concepcion Chile Temple. The leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints visited a total of five countries.

Deseret News photographer Jeffrey Allred was there to capture some incredible moments from President Nelson's tour — these are our favorite 30.

Peru

The trip began in Peru with President Nelson spending time with Peruvian President Martín Vizcarra. The Peruvian president asked President Nelson to help his country's children and discussed humanitarian issues.

Bolivia

In Bolivia, a crowd of nearly 9,000 people packed an arena to listen to President Nelson speak and roughly 15,000 watched the live video feed. President Nelson invited all of the children in the meeting to stand and sing him a song: "I am a Child of God."

Paraguay

President Nelson visited with full-time missionaries in Paraguay, and these missionaries traveled a total of 48 hours to be in attendance. This was the third meeting in three days that President Nelson spoke to church members in Spanish.

Uruguay

In Uruguay, more than 4,500 people filled a massive tent to listen to President Nelson deliver a message to members of the church. Another 35,000 members watched the broadcast via a feed of the event. President Nelson spoke on the need for parents to teach their children the gospel, and also stressed the need of prayer, Sabbath day observance and temple attendance.

Chile

Chilean leaders greeted President Nelson on the last leg of his South American tour on the eve of the Concepcion Chile Temple dedication. Sen. Jacqueline Van Rysselberghe, the city's former mayor, said of the temple, "It's an enormous honor to have this temple in our city."

President Nelson then dedicated the temple in what was a "heavenly crescendo" for the trip.
