Elder Holland received the official appointment and was set apart by President Russell M. Nelson on November 15, succeeding the late Acting President M. Russell Ballard.

Paula Crnkovich Millington was born in Idaho to the best parents and family in the world. After she graduated from BYU (BS), she took a ministerial leave of absence from LDS Hospital to serve in the Kaohsiung Taiwan mission. Paula also received degrees from the University of Utah (M.Ed and Ph.D). Seven years after she returned from her mission in Taiwan, she met her husband, Jeff Millington, who served in the Taipei Taiwan mission. Paula recently retired from the University of Utah and she and Jeff are currently serving together as missionaries in the Taipei Taiwan mission. Paula loves the Savior and His gospel and takes so much comfort in the plan of redemption and her covenants, constantly recognizing tender mercies in her life. Faith! Family! Friends! Are her priorities. She loves chocolate (an understatement) and jigsaw puzzles and morning walks. Paula’s father’s parents (Crnković/Gasparac and Palijan/Krizmanić) are from Croatia and she and her siblings have been able to visit their grandparents’ birthplaces and meet Croatian cousins. It turns out they are pretty much related to everyone in both villages so family and friends have been busy doing temple work for every relative they can find. It’s a labor of love.

On September 9th, President Russell M. Nelson will turn 100 years old, becoming the first prophet of this dispensation to become a centenarian. In celebration of this remarkable milestone, on this week’s episode, we visited with President Nelson’s two youngest children who offer a rare and intimate look into the life, legacy, and personal moments of a leader who continues to shape the Church in our day.

Washington State is home to more than 280,000 Latter-day Saints in over 480 congregations.

More than 500 attendees commemorated this significant milestone.

Once the temple is complete, members in the Ulaanbaatar Mongolia District will no longer have to travel 1,800 miles to attend the temple.

Elder Caussé and his wife, Valerie Babin Caussé, met in a young single adult ward in France.

This announcement fills the gap left by Elder Gérald Caussé, who was called to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.

“Many hands make light work,” said Provo MTC President Stephen W. Owen. “And boy, there are a lot of hands.”

Once built, this temple will stand on the northwest coast of Java, the most populous island in the world.
