Sustaining of General Authorities, Area Seventies, and General Officers

Brothers and sisters, it will now be my privilege to present the General Authorities, Area Seventies, and General Officers of the Church for your sustaining vote.

We ask that you please express your support in the usual way, wherever you may be. If there are those who oppose any of the proposals, please contact your stake president.

It is proposed that we sustain Dallin Harris Oaks as prophet, seer, and revelator and President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; Henry Bennion Eyring as First Counselor in the First Presidency; and David Todd Christofferson as Second Counselor in the First Presidency.

Those in favor may manifest it.

Those opposed, if any, may manifest it.

It is proposed that we sustain Henry B. Eyring as President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and Dieter F. Uchtdorf as Acting President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.

Those in favor, please signify.

Any opposed may manifest it.

It is proposed that we sustain the following as members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles: Dieter F. Uchtdorf, David A. Bednar, Quentin L. Cook, Neil L. Andersen, Ronald A. Rasband, Gary E. Stevenson, Dale G. Renlund, Gerrit W. Gong, Ulisses Soares, Patrick Kearon, Gérald Caussé, and Clark G. Gilbert.

Those in favor, please manifest it.

Any opposed may so indicate.

It is proposed that we sustain the counselors in the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles as prophets, seers, and revelators.

All in favor, please manifest it.

Contrary, if any, by the same sign.

As a matter of information, Elder Robert H. Simpson was released as an Area Seventy and David Kannar was sustained as an Area Seventy during the general conference leadership meetings. These changes were announced on the Church website.

We invite you to sustain these actions.

Those in favor, please manifest it.

Any opposed, by the same sign.

It is proposed that we sustain the other General Authorities, Area Seventies, and General Officers as presently constituted.

All in favor may do so in the usual way.

Those opposed, if any.

Thank you, brothers and sisters.
