Carlos Humberto Amado (born 25 September 1944) has been a general authority of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) since 1989. He was the first LDS Church general authority from Guatemala.
Amado was born in Guatemala City, Guatemala. His family joined the LDS Church when he was nine. Initially he was most attracted to the church by the Boy Scout program.[1]
Amado was trained as a technical draftsman. However, Amado spent most of his career as an employee of the Church Educational System, rising to the position of country director for Guatemala. Amado was among the first seminary teachers in Guatemala for the LDS Church.[1] He also served as a branch president, bishop, stake president, mission president and regional representative of the Twelve Apostles. He was the mission president of a church mission in his home country. He was at the same time involved in reopening the El Salvador San Salvador Mission in 1984.
Amado was called as a member of the Second Quorum of the Seventy in April 1989. In 1992 he was called to the First Quorum of the Seventy.
He married Mayavel Pineda in 1971. They have six children.
