Russell M. Nelson Becomes 17th President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

Russell M. Nelson was sustained by the Brethren Sunday, January 14, 2018. President Thomas S. Monson led the Church for almost 10 years, before I started this blog. It was grand to be able to witness the beautiful and poignant funeral for our beloved President Monson, only 67 minutes January 12. And then this morning the new First Presidency was introduced as 1st Counselor Dallin H. Oaks, and 2nd Counselor Henry B. Eyring, in just 18 minutes, followed by a news conference that lasted 47 minutes. I love the short and sweet and these marvelous leaders taking the lead with our new prophet. It's marvelous to behold.

It was later pointed out to me that President Oaks is next in line to become prophet. Who better to serve as 1st Counselor.
