Russell M. Nelson the President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
President Russell M. Nelson Prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
Welcome to the President Russell M. Nelson Conference talk challenge! Over the next 82 days, we will listen to each of the conference talks that President Russell M. Nelson has given since he was first called to the apostleship in 1984. As of this posting in May 2019, there have been a total of 82 talks. I cannot take credit for this idea. It stemmed from a conference address given by Bishop Dean M. Davies in the October general conference. His quote which I will share below first inspired me to do this challenge alone before the end of 2018. What a wonderful exercise it was and such a testimony builder of the loving man our prophet is. Here is the quote from Bishop Davies:
“In recent months, I have listened to every general conference address which President Russell M. Nelson has given since he was first called as an Apostle. This exercise has changed my life. As I studied and pondered 34 years of President Nelson’s collected wisdom, clear and consistent themes emerged from his teachings. Each of these themes relates to those building blocks just mentioned or is another key building block for our personal temples. They include faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, repentance, baptism for the remission of sins, the gift of the Holy Ghost, redemption of the dead and temple work, keeping the Sabbath day holy, beginning with the end in mind, staying on the covenant path. President Nelson has spoken of them all with love and devotion.”

Who is Russell M. Nelson?
Russell M. Nelson started his ministry at age 60 when he was called as an apostle of the Lord April 7th, 1984. He served as an apostle for 34 years before being sustained as the president and prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on January 14, 2018. Making him the 17th prophet of the church.
There is so much you could say about this incredible man. Known as an internationally renowned surgeon and medical researcher. Father of 10 children and exemplary leader. He is an exceptional man. But even more, can be gleaned from the precious words he has shared as an apostle and prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
