Charles A. Callis — The 'Dirty Little Irish Kid' Reunion

While living in Liverpool, England, as a young boy, Charles A. Callis was baptized by a Latter-day Saint missionary. Because of his humble and somewhat disheveled appearance at the time, he was referred to as a 'dirty little Irish kid.' Decades later, after Callis had been sustained as a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, he encountered the very missionary who had baptized him. In a remarkable providence and fulfillment of the fruits of missionary labor, Callis identified himself to the man, saying, 'I am that dirty little Irish kid that you baptized on your mission.'
