Timeline of President Russell M. Nelson’s life and ministry

President Russell M. Nelson — who turns 100 on Sept. 9 — was set apart as the 17th President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Jan. 14, 2018, after serving 34 years in the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. He was a world-renowned heart surgeon and medical researcher before entering full-time Church service in 1984.

Sylvia Webster, one of President Nelson’s nine daughters, said her father accomplishes much because he knows how to balance his life.

“When he’s at work, he’s 100% at work. When he’s home, he’s 100% at home. When he’s doing his Church duty, he’s 100% Church duty. I think maybe that’s how he balances things,” she said during an interview shortly after President Nelson became President of the Church.
