President Boyd K. Packer was sustained to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles in April of 1970. This year marks 45 years he has served as an apostle of Jesus Christ. Pres. Packer was 45 years old when he was called, so he has now been an apostle for half his life. To honor this anniversary, here are 44 Boyd K. Packer General Conference quotes—one from each year he’s been an apostle. I believe I speak for millions of people when I say, “We love you, President Packer!”
