Agrícol Lozano Herrera (1927–1999) was a poet, historian, and leader of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Mexico.
It was largely because of a sermon he heard from Spencer W. Kimball while on a trip to the Mesa Arizona Temple in the 1940s that Lozano decided to pursue a life as a lawyer and an advocate from the indigenous people of Mexico.
He was also a Regional Representative of the Twelve Apostles; in this capacity, he would often emphasize that the Mexicans needed to step up and take part in leading the church in Mexico.
His full-force living of the teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has also been likened to that of Orson Pratt and Parley P.
His Historia del Mormonismo en México (1983) (ISBN 9687207000) [13] is aggressive in its assertion that the Mexican people have a special place as part of the house of Israel as descendants of Lehi in the Book of Mormon.
In a sermon given in Mexico in 1997, Gordon B. Hinckley spoke of Lozano as having been, among other things, an assistant, translator, guide, and friend.
