Just a matter of time...


I knew, 15 years ago when I read in the paper that my Uncle Todd's first name wasn't actually "Todd", but rather there was a mysterious "D." in front of it, that it was just a matter of time before his face and name would be associated with the group of men known as the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. And yesterday, that happened. I've had an inkling it was his turn, so to speak, for several weeks now as we've waited to see who would fill the void left when President Hinckley died and the First Presidency was reorganized to include President Uchtdorf, leaving a vacancy in the Quorum of the Twelve. I was not surprised at all when they called his name yesterday.

So how is Elder Christopherson (sp?) your uncle, Zach? Mom's side? Dad's side? I don't think I've ever asked before. Also, Shane immediately proclaimed that "Zach was right!" when they made the announcement. Very cool...big responsibility, too.
