Baby Pictures of the Apostles? Yes Please.

The leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints hold a special place in our hearts. Their great examples, fun stories, and powerful testimonies make it easy to adore them. I especially love hearing from these General Authorities during General Conference!

The members of the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles had to start somewhere, though. So, I dug up some baby pictures. Let’s take a trip down memory lane and find out what they all looked like when their lives were just beginning!

Weren’t they the cutest kids? These pictures definitely made me want to dig up my old baby pictures. Looking at these photos also helped me realize how much potential we all have. We never know what the Lord has in store!

I am so grateful for the people that raised these boys into the spiritual giants they are now. Their stories are incredible. In fact, we have a series all about how the apostles came to be! Don’t you love learning more about these fantastic people?

The leaders of our church have helped to bring me closer to Christ. What about you? Please, share your stories in the comments below!
