In 2022, President Russell M. Nelson became the oldest president of the Church and the longest-living latter-day Apostle, which mean he’s had many years to gain wisdom—and he takes his call to share wisdom and bear testimony of the Savior seriously. Here are seven of our favorite quotes from some of President Nelson’s formal addresses given over the past year.
