Happy Birthday to President Russell M. Nelson, from all of us at BYU! Thank you for your lifetime of leadership and for your inspiring messages, delivered at BYU devotionals and around the world. #BYUDevo #PresidentNelson101 | BYU Speeches

President Nelson knew what he wanted to be known for. He shared this simple, three sentence eulogy in a 1984 BYU devotional. As we come together to celebrate the life of Russell M. Nelson and lay his mortal frame to rest, we echo his own words in a final tribute: He selflessly served others. He had a loving and faithful family. He lived in accordance with his unshakable faith in God. From “Begin with the End in Mind,” given September 30, 1984. #RMN #PresidentNelsonFuneral #ProphetoftheLord #Eulo

Thirty-four years ago, President Russell M. Nelson set aside his career as a world-renowned heart surgeon for what, to him, was the higher calling of apostolic ministry. Today, he was called as the 17th president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Tune in TONIGHT at 6:30 on KSL 5 TV as we take a look at his life so far. | KSL 5 TV

Our beloved prophet, President Russell M. Nelson has passed away. He dedicated his life to helping millions of people—physically and spiritually. He had served as an Apostle since 1984 and as President of the Church since 2018. We will miss his loving guidance and his kind heart. We love you, President Nelson!
