President Nelson, from the University of Oxford and as a member of the Church of England, I salute you and give you our hearty congratulations and prayers on your centenary.

Thank you for being such an approachable world faith leader.

Thank you for leading your people as a true pioneer leader,

leaving no one behind. And thank you also for touching the hearts of people. That’s how it works. And you learned in your professional life that doesn’t stop hearts, it actually prompts them. Thank you, and a very happy birthday.

Hello, President Nelson, it’s your old friend Robby George here from Princeton University, and I’m delighted to be joining my voice with that of

so many others to thank and congratulate you for your work and witness. You know, the foundational principle of all sound morality is that of the profound, inherent, and equal dignity of each and every member of the human family.

And by precept and example, you've taught all of us what it means to do justice to that principle, to live up to its demands. And so, again, thank you.

Happy birthday, President Nelson!

President Nelson, recently, I spoke with sister Jean Schmidt, 103 years old,

who wrote a book entitled What I Learned the First 100 Years of My Life.

She says that she attributes her longevity to living life with purpose.

You certainly have lived a life of purpose,

giving that message of God through your works of goodness throughout the world.

Every birthday we often blow out the candles. I suggest keep them burning so we can continue to be the beneficiaries of your light, your love, and your loyalty. As we say in New York, mazel tov!

Happy birthday, President! Hooray!

President Nelson, on behalf of Area Presidencies and Seventies serving throughout the world, we want you to know what

a privilege it is to help carry your prophetic messages to people everywhere.

We love you, and we wish you a very joyful 100th birthday.

On the night before Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination, he said,

“Like anyone, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place.”

I've had the privilege of visiting Salt Lake City and Temple Square four times, and observed that the Tabernacle Choir family live a long time.

I’m convinced that the statement Dr. King made is right,

that longevity has its place, and its place is Temple Square.

On behalf of the Morehouse College family, our 17,000 living members of the alumni, trustees, administration, faculty,

staff, and students, we salute President Russell M. Nelson Sr. for having reached the centennial, your 100th birthday, today.

Your happiest appearance-day celebration.

Hence, we dedicate this historic concert at Morehouse College this evening to you for helping us reunite the broken body of Christ.
