President Nelson took to social media on his 96th birthday to express gratitude – and to share a cute picture of himself as a toddler.
“Today I am 96 years old! Many years have passed since this photo was taken when I was a young boy, and in those years I have been blessed richly with opportunities to meet and come to love God’s children all over the world. I have also witnessed many miracles and mercies from the Lord.
“Many of you have wished me a happy birthday. I wish to thank you and express my love for all who read this. The Lord loves you, and I am a witness that He is in the details of our lives.”
Thank you President Nelson for your inspired leadership, your gentle heart, and your never-ending focus on bringing us all closer to our Savior Jesus Christ through following the covenant path.
In his Church News video interview, President Nelson said:
A birthday, “Is just another day for me,” he said last year while visiting Brasilia, Brazil. “I hope I will be busy.”
“Celebrating 96 years,” a new Church News video honoring President Nelson’s 96th birthday and filmed before the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, offers a small glimpse into his fast-paced ministry and historic leadership.
“It is wonderful though to be able to look back and see the various stages of life,” said President Nelson. “But you know I really don’t spend any time at all looking back. I did the best I could in each one of those phases. And I am just looking forward to the many challenges that lie ahead.”
