“We embrace President Nelson as we would have embraced Peter
or Moses if we had lived in their day. Is this blind faith? No, it is not. We
each have a spiritual witness of the truthfulness of the Restoration of the
gospel of Jesus Christ. By our own will and choice, we raised our hands this
morning, declaring our desire to sustain the Lord’s prophet with our confidence,
faith and prayers, and to follow his counsel. We have the privilege as
Latter-day Saints to receive a personal witness that President Nelson’s call is
from God. While my wife, Kathy, has known President Nelson personally for nearly
three decades and has no question about his divine mantle, upon his setting
apart, she began reading all his general conference talks of the past 34 years,
praying for an even deeper assurance of his prophetic role. I promise you that
this greater witness will come to you as you humbly and worthily seek it.” –
Elder Neil L. Andersen
