President Russell M. Nelson was a bold, visionary leader prepared by God to testify of Jesus Christ in the very times in which we now live
I first acquired my profound respect for him as a seven-year-old boy, when he performed open-heart surgery on both of my maternal grandparents—on the same day
Just a few short years ago, President Nelson described to me in exquisite detail how he handled each of step of the two surgeries he had performed that day—more than 40 years earlier, and about seven years before he was called into full-time Church service as a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
After their surgeries, he told both of my grandparents that they could each expect to live another 10 to 15 years following the surgery
Both of them lived for another 25 years and credited President Nelson for their longevity, with good reason!
Although I first heard his name in the context of his surgical practice, for me that was only the beginning of my countless reasons for admiring President Nelson
For as long as I’ve known him, he has exuded—and for me, he’s come to personify—the kind of faith, humility, and quiet confidence that tends to be the constant companion of a devoted servant and follower of Jesus Christ
To the day he died, he remained a healer—of hearts and of souls
Sharon and I extend our gratitude and heartfelt condolences to President Nelson’s family, and to the millions of Latter-day Saints throughout the world who mourn his passing
@MarthaAhumuza Why do women prefer tall men? Maybe….its something to do with resembling their fathers. Therefore, stay with me… women are incest creatures……
Fine. I’ll say it.
• Your son was arrested in April 2023 for allegedly threatening to shoot up a school. He was subsequently sentenced to probation.
• In December 2020 your house was raided. Police seized your computers and phone. You posted a sob story to the internet and managed to raise over $500k for your ‘plight.’
• In a December 2022 you pled guilty to a felony computer crime charge. You were required to pay a $20k fine, perform community service, and seek mental health counseling. (You told everybody that your charges were dismissed but you were quickly called out for lying)
• In June 2023, you plead no contest to a cyberstalking charge. The charge came from allegations that you harassed and published nude photos of a former Florida State University student, where you were previously employed as a teacher (and later dismissed.)
• You have a battery charge against a police officer in Louisiana in 2016.
