Elder Neil Linden Andersen underscored the deep personal feelings of weightiness and responsibility following his call as the newest member of the Quorum of the Twelve, being sustained in Saturday morning's opening session of the 179th Annual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. "I'm very humbled by this day, very overwhelmed at what is ahead of me and the great honor and responsibility that has come to me," said Elder Andersen, 57, at a news conference held in the Church Office Building between Saturday's conference sessions. Expressing appreciation to church members who sustained him, church leaders, his wife and family, he added: "I pray that I can become what I must become in the years ahead." Other newly called leaders sustained Saturday include Elder Donald L. Hallstrom of the Quorums of the Seventy to take Elder Andersen's place in the Presidency in the Seventy, the call of 12 new members of the Quorums of the Seventy, the reorganization of the Sunday School and Young Men general presidencies and the call of 40 new Area Seventies. Sustained to the First Quorum of the Seventy on April 3, 1993, at age 41, Elder Andersen had been serving since 2005 as a member of the Presidency of the Seventy, the most tenured of the seven presidents. Filling the vacancy created by the December passing of Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin, Elder Andersen said he hopes to serve as effectively as did the late apostle. __________________________________________________________________________________ Herman Miller| Herman Miller Chairs
