The Life of D. Todd Christofferson

David Todd Christofferson is a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was sustained in that position on April 5, 2008.

Elder Christofferson addressed the general Church membership and welcomed friends of other faiths in the Sunday morning session of the 178 Annual General Conference of the Church. In that address, Elder Christofferson acknowledged his witness of the range and sacredness of the apostolic calling, which overcame him through the Spirit as he sustained a newly called apostle earlier in his service in the Presidency of the Seventy and for which words were insufficient to describe.

He also expressed gratitude for the influence of “goodly parents” and for generations beyond, whose legacy has influenced his life. Pledging his loyalty to the First Presidency, Elder Christofferson indicated that he would unflinchingly serve the Lord, recognizing his dependence on the Lord for power behind his native ability. He expressed his love for his wife, Kathy, who he said, was filled with “spiritual intuition, humor” and to whom he wished to manifest the depth of his love even “more convincingly” as the days and years go by. He hailed the faithfulness of his four sons and their spouses (and in the case of his youngest, of his soon-to-be spouse) and their commitment to the Lord. Elder Christofferson bore his divine witness of the work of the kingdom of God on the earth.
