Silvia H. Allred First Counselor, Relief Society General Presidency Silvia Henriquez Allred, recently called as the first counselor in the Relief Society general presidency, was just 16 years old when she gained a testimony of and love for Relief Society. “Shortly after my mother was baptized, she was called as the Relief Society president in our branch in El Salvador,” Sister Allred explains. “She was overwhelmed, but my sister and I [who were also recent converts] told her, ‘It will be okay. The Lord will help you.’ And He did.” As Sister Allred served alongside her mother as the Relief Society secretary, she was impressed by the opportunities that Relief Society offered in leadership, education, homemaking skills, and service—opportunities Sister Allred says are available “to every woman who embraces the gospel of Jesus Christ.” Sister Allred was born to Carlos Florentino Henriquez and Hilda Alvarenga on October 11, 1944, in San Salvador, El Salvador, the fourth of eight children. She attended the University of Arizona, Brigham Young University, and the General Francisco Morazan Institute in El Salvador, studying mathematics and languages. She married Jeffry A. Allred on September 7, 1966, in the Salt Lake Temple. They are the parents of two sons and six daughters and have 14 grandchildren. Motherhood, she says, has been her greatest joy. Sister Allred has served as a full-time missionary in the Central America Mission, as a Relief Society and Primary president at the ward and stake levels, and as a member of the Young Women general board. She also served with her husband when he presided over the Paraguay Asuncion Mission, and most recently as he presided over the Missionary Training Center in the Dominican Republic. The Allreds were also public affairs missionaries in Madrid, Spain.
