"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, I pray that I can become what I must become in the years ahead." |

Elder Andersen spoke to Saturday's media gathering of those titles he now carries - terms that he said easily fall off the lips of church members but that once ingrained in one's soul can lift the purpose and feelings of those terms. "First of all, it means that I know that Jesus is the Christ, with a sure and certain witness - and this I do," he said. "I have that solace that perhaps in that one category that must be fulfilled, I can say I fulfill that part. I know that he lives. I know that he's resurrected. "¦ Of course, I'm hopeful that by way of ordination, certain gifts come to me that I anxiously await." |
