So, now a question as I conclude: What if you learned that the Savior had already returned to this earth—that He, as part of His Second Coming, had already met with some of His true followers in several marvelous, large gatherings—gatherings about which the world, including CNN and the blogosphere, knew nothing. If you found out that the Savior was already on the earth, what would you desperately want to do today, and what would you be willing and ready to do tomorrow? Russell M. Nelson and

As we neared the end of our conversation, the prophet closed his binder and became quiet. “Judgment Day is coming for me pretty soon,” he said. It was a strange sort of confession—both startling and obvious, at least from an actuarial standpoint—and I didn’t know how to respond. After another pause, Nelson began to contemplate what he would have to answer for in his imminent “interview” with God. “I doubt if I’ll be judged by the number of operations I did, or the number of scientific publications I had,” he told me. “I doubt if I’ll even be judged by the growth of the Church during my presidency. I don’t think it’ll be a quantitative experience. I think he’ll want to know: What about your faith? What about virtue? What about your knowledge? Were you temperate? Were you kind to people? Did you have charity, humility?”

Some might label me as an “old man.” But I’m a lot younger than Adam was—and Noah too.14 Footnote 14: Adam died at age 930 (see Genesis 5:5); Noah died at age 950 (see Genesis 9:29). Genesis 5:5 Old Testament 5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died. Genesis 9:29 Old Testament 29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died. Russell M. Nelson and
