New Mormon leader Russell Nelson pledges to serve God until his last breath, shuffles leadership by replacing Dieter UchtdorfThree men sat behind a table in the LDS Church Office Building lobby in downtown Salt Lake City on Tuesday, taking turns fielding questions from reporters, building on one another’s comments and shooting their colleagues smiles of approval. The man in the middle was 93-year-old Russell M. Nelson, who was ordained and set apart two days earlier in the Salt Lake LDS Temple as the 17th president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. On his right: Dallin H. Oaks, 85, next in line for leadership of the faith and tapped to be the first counselor in the new governing First Presidency. On his left: Henry B. Eyring, 84, who previously was the first counselor and is now Nelson’s second counselor. www.sltrib.com/religion/local/2018/01/16/watch-live-russell-m-nelson-poised-to-announce-new-mormon-leadership-today-at-9-am/
