President Oaks's Tribute to President Nelson

 

Introduction

By President Dallin H. Oaks

President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

My own brief tribute—suitable to this conference and to the tributes we have already paid—is this: I loved Russell M. Nelson and have learned more about the gospel and gospel leadership from my long friendship and association with him than from any other leader I have personally known. He is our model as a servant and follower of the Lord Jesus Christ.
