**Leave a nice note for President Nelson**
Nice Notes
A couple of years ago you visited our stake for a special stake conference and our family had the opportunity to come up to the stand and shake your hand. You don’t know us and had no way of knowing how awful I was feeling that morning as a mother. I felt like I was failing my five beautiful children and was the worst mother ever. Satan was doing an incredible job on me that morning and my heart was broken and so heavy. I kept feeling that maybe the Lord made a mistake making me their mother for surely they deserved better than me and what I had to offer them, what ever that was. As my kids shook your hand I marveled and how beautiful and sweet they all were and yet my heart was still very heavy. And then came my turn to shake your hand and it’s a moment I still carry close to my heart and will never forget. As I shook your hand you asked me if those were my children and when I said yes I saw a change come over your face, as if the Lord was speaking to you. You held my hand for a few moments and with the most loving face looked me in the eyes and said, “you’re doing a good job as a mother”. You’re words brought light back into my sad and discouraged heart. You did not know what I was struggling with and yet you said the very thing I needed to hear. I KNEW my Father in Heaven was speaking to me through you and that He didn’t make a mistake in making me their mother. I am not failing them, I am learning right along with them. I never had the chance to thank you for your inspiring and uplifting words and wanted to take this opportunity to do so now. Thank you for being the mouth piece for the Lord and helping to remind this young mother just how important she is to her kids and loved she is by her Father in Heaven very much, for He truly does not make mistakes. (Jennifer Ferguson, California)
President Nelson, one nice day in June 1990 I was waiting to cross the street from the ZCMI Center to return to my work at the Church Office Building. You walked up and said, “Beautiful day, isn’t it?” I replied that it was and said “Are you Elder Nelson?” I had never seen you in person. You are tall! I mentioned that I was a new COP employee in computing. You said, “Oh, a computer guru!” We shared only a few seconds as we walked across the street and parted as you entered the CAB. For the rest of that day a spirit that I can’t completely describe abided with me. It was uplifting, ennobling, assuring, peaceful. This was about 1pm. I basked in that spirit for many hours until I was alerted at home later by a call to dinner. I felt an uncommon communion with heaven. This, one of the most powerful spiritual witnesses of my lifetime of the power of the priesthood, the special call of the Lord’s special witnesses, and the restoration of the Gospel in these latter days. I was 38 at the time, had been a member of the Church 21 years, and married for 15. I have often reflected on that singular privilege I had that day. I am so glad you crossed my path. (Charles Allison, Utah)
My favorite general authority, I met him when I was 16 and a new convert to the church and a dear friend had sent a letter to headquarters to ask if a general authority could come and give her legally blind friend a blessing. To our surprise she received a letter back saying a general authority would be coming to our next stake conference. The YW from my ward were asked to prepare and serve a special meal for the stake presidency and Elder Nelson the night before conference. When done he came and met and thanked each of us individually for serving him. As he shook my hand he paused and stared into my eyes with his deep blue eyes and I knew then without a shadow of doubt he was an apostle of the Lord. The next day he spoke in stake conference and after we finished the closing hymn he stood and said he felt prompted to give us an apostolic blessing and we were to realize it is as if he were laying his hands on each of our heads. He gave a marvelous blessing and even mentioned my friend and I by name. It was one of the single most spiritual moments I’ve ever had in my 24 years in the church. I pray that someday I will be able to meet him again and express my gratitude. Happy birthday Elder Nelson, you are so special to me and I love you. (Jo Mattox Pfaff, New York)
I was a member of the Yale 2nd Ward when you served as the Stake President of the Bonnieville Stake in 1965. I was nineteen at the time, and worked at Holy Cross Hospital as a surgical ward clerk and attended BYU night school. One weekend three of us girls attended movie night at the stake center. At the end of the movie everyone started to leave the building and to return to their homes. But to our surprise the weather had made a big change during the movie and it was raining very hard as we exited the building. Some of us had walked to the stake center since we lived only a few blocks away. As our group stood together wondering how long the rain would last, you drove up in your Ford convertible and started taking everyone home. As there were numerous youth in this group, you took as many as possible and made many drop-offs around the neighborhood. Us three girls waited until last thinking the rain would stop soon and we would be able to hurry home. We had just decided to leave the building when you returned. We said we thought we could make it home, but you said you would take us. And since we had waited until last and the rain had stopped, you would put the top down and we could ride home with the wind blowing our hair. Sure love you President Nelson. (Nancy Huddy Lykins, Columbus, IN)
I am a relatively new convert (two years) and I just want to take this opportunity to say thank you, from the bottom of my heart, thank you! You and the rest of the Quorum of the Twelve are an inspiration that myself and my family, who have all been baptized since I was! We love you and pray for peace for you at this time. (Jacqui, British Columbia, Canada)
Someone once told me that a HERO, is someone who is a role model, who serves willingly, who makes sacrifice, is inspirational; a hero is strong, kind, brave and courageous. You are definitely one of my heroes and are all of the above and so much more. You are an inspiration to me from your quotes, testimony and your inspiring story. I myself would like to go into the medical field as a Neo Natal doctor and have a family as well. I have people tell me every day that it’s not possible and I simply look at them and smile; cause I know it can be done. Thank you for being such a prime example in my life. I’m not even sure you will read this, but I hope you do and realize that you change lives every day. I know you have changed mine. 🙂 If you have any secret tips or pieces of advice that you could share with me about going through school and with a family my email is Oliviawaldron99 ( at ) gmail.com. (Olivia Waldron, Las Vegas, NV)
It was so nice that you came to our town and talked to us. My daughter was just about in tears when you shook her hand. She will remember that for the rest of her life. I appreciate the blessing that you gave to us at the conference. My son has a rare blood disease called PNH and the only way to cure it is a bone marrow transplant. He is now 17 and this is a very rare case for the doctors. We have a donor, but the doctors said he is doing good on this medicine so he no longer qualified for a transplant. As you can see we were devastated and didn’t know what to do. He didn’t want to spend the rest of his life on blood thinners and infusions but when you blessed those with serious health problems and said they would be healed I new you meant my son. The next week I got a phone call saying the doctor wanted to talk to us and now he is going to get his transplant. Hopefully in January. I knew it was because of your blessing that helped the doctors change their mind. Thank you for coming and all that you do. (Karen Lybbert, Raymond, Alberta)
President Nelson, I was really impressed and touched by your last two conference addresses about personal experiences as a heart surgeon. Your sincere message was powerful! I reflected on those things I could improve upon in my own life. I have determined to be more patient, more dedicated in learning by first observing, then serving. We love you and sustain you in all that you do. We pray for you and all general and local authorities. (Chris Miller, USA)
Dear President Nelson, thank you for all that you do. Your love and compassion and your talent for saving lives have taught me so much about the Atonement. Because despite everything we can and ought to do to help one another, your focus on Christ has taught me that we alone cannot save or fix each other–we can help, that is true. But it is Christ, and only He, who can fix and heal all of us. Because of your great love for us and your greater love for Him, you have taught me that, and it has been a great comfort to me any time I have fallen short. Thank you, President Nelson, for bringing me closer to Christ. I love you! (Courtney Hoagland, Texas)
It was such a testimony-strengthening experience to hear you speak in Stake Conference on June 5th, 2016. And such a privilege to shake your hand after the closing prayer. My heart was filled with love, gratitude and joy as I watched you make the effort to shake my grandchildren’s hands and call them your special friends. I am grateful for the apostolic witness that you shared with us. My children and Utah grandchildren have had the opportunity to hear the witness of Elder Robert D. Hales at some of my mission reunions. It is a privilege for my Oregon grandchildren to have such an experience with you at their own stake conference. Thank you for your witness of the Savior and the Christlike love you shared with my family. (Colleen Esther Brown, Oregon)
Thank you for your inspired messages that lift, guide and remind us of who we are and our potential of who we can become as beloved sons and daughters of Heavenly Parents. Through your life and your example (even when faced with adversity) you have taught us to never give up. We feel truly blessed for your service. Love, the Peihopa Family (Peihopa Family, Perth, Western Australia).
Dear President Nelson, happy birthday! You do not look your age! I love your sweet spirit and the inspirational talks you give in conference. I will never forget your talk “Ask the Missionaries!“. My first and only missionary son entered the MTC three weeks ago in preparation to serve in the Adriatic North Mission. I am trying to be a better missionary as I support him in the hard things he is doing. He is learning Croatian and trying to discover how to best teach by the spirit. It is not an easy process, but he is getting better at it and growing each day. Thank you for your loving example of how to follow Christ. Sincerely, Sister Rachel Echols. (Rachel Echols, Loveland, Ohio)
Thank you for being a man to whom I can look to for answers and peace. I am grateful and blessed to know that there are apostles such as yourself who speak for Christ’s church. Thank you for teaching of the importance of women and the family. Thank you for being human. Thank you for making me laugh with your comments. Thank you for being you. I hope you feel OUR love for you as a church. (Emma Hartman, York, Pennsylvania)
You are a very inspirational man, Brother Nelson. It’s nice to know that the leaders of our church are schooled in secular knowledge too (besides the church) and it’s inspiring to me that you are a heart surgeon and did a tricky operation on President Kimball’s heart after being inspired by God how to do it. Happy 92nd Birthday brother Nelson! You do not look 92! (Doug, Idaho)
My Dear President, I wish my English is good to express how much your words have helped me. I am only one year in the Church, you’ve changed me and am proud to be a Mormon. Love you. And Ghana loves you my dear president. May our Almighty God be with you and I say all this in Jesus’ name, Amen. (Justina Woods, Leesville, Louisiana, Originally from Ghana)
President Nelson, I love you! Your life story and commitment to the gospel are inspiring. After I started studying Chinese I heard that you also spoke Chinese and have been able to do so much good for our country and for the Church in regards to China. I appreciate all the work you do to help this church run smoothly and the way the Lord would have it run. I love and sustain you, Madilyn Green. (Madilyn, Mississippi)
Thank you President Nelson for being such an amazing man who we can all look up to. I love hearing your conference talks and I always try to follow the guidance you give. You are never alone. Not only do you have Christ on your side, but also all of the members. We pray for you just as, I am sure, you pray for us. Thank you for all your service and selflessness. Happy birthday! (Marcelle, Utah)
Thank you President Nelson for everything. You are a pretty popular authority in our family, I’m not sure if you remember, or if you will ever read this, but you operated on my granddad and you saved his life and in return he gave you a watch, it’s good to see that sometimes you wear it out and about. I would just like to say thank you again, my family cannot say it enough. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 😀 (Gisselle Palmer, Auckland, New Zealand)
Thank you so much for your amazing example. You are absolutely incredible. I am grateful for all the talks you have given. You always inspire me to be better! Thanks for following the spirit and helping everyone who hears you to feel more of Heavenly Father’s love! I will forever be grateful for the things I have learned from you. Love you and pray for you! Happy Birthday! (Natasha, Idaho)
When I hear President Nelson speak, I am left with no doubt that he loves God with his whole heart, might, mind and strength. He leaves me determined to become a more devoted disciple of my Savior. (Kaytlin Davis, Utah)
Happy Birthday and thank you for your service to the church! A few months ago I read “A Plea to My Sisters” and “The Price of Priesthood Power” back to back. Those talks were very inspired and the Spirit was able to teach me a lot through reading those addresses. Thank you for being a worthy vessel for the Lord! (Sydney Christensen, Orem, UT)
You are one of the most inspired men on the planet, and I’m so grateful for you and all the work you’ve done. I’m preparing to leave on a mission to Omaha, Nebraska and I couldn’t be more excited! I’m studying Preach my Gospel, studying the scriptures, and studying your words , which are modern day scripture. My family and I pray for you every day. Thank you for everything that you do for us! Sincerely, Sister Graham. (Grace Graham, Utah)
President Nelson, I have been listening to older conference talks and came across one of yours about the creation. I have always loved how simply you talk about the gospel. It always seems to impact me for the better. I remember when I was a missionary serving in the Florida Tampa Mission and you came to visit us. The words you spoke and the kindness you showed when you shook all of our hands has deeply impacted me. I think often of the words which you shared with us. Thank you for your devoted service and example of love for the gospel and the Savior. With love, Brooklynn Smith. (Brooklynn Smith, Florida)
I was at a conference with President Nelson in Boston. It was a real treat to hear how he spoke of his love of learning and of Boston. Shaking his hand was amazing- being able to see the peace and strength in his bright blue eyes was a testimony of his words. One thing he said has always stuck with me- there are no bad days, only hard moments. I strive to live my life looking for the good moments instead of letting one negative thing ruin the day for me. (Amanda Forsythe, Idaho)
I had the pleasure of being with you twice in Ukraine when you organized the first stake in Kiev. I loved hearing you speak and I loved being able to perform your beautiful hymn at our zone conference there when you visited. Your talks were wonderful and I appreciated shaking your hand and being in such a personal meeting with you. (Lara, Utah)
Hi President Nelson! I just want to tell you that you are great. In a world where we are becoming more and more “peculiar” (as the scriptures say), you, and all our leaders, provide wonderful examples of how to be selfless, and how to try our best. I thank you so much for that. Have a beautiful day! (Shannon Stahle, California)
Hi President Nelson! Thank you so much for the spiritual power, energy, and wisdom you bring to this gospel! You are such an incredible, uplifting example. Thank you for the many efforts you go through, seen and unseen, to fulfill your calling. I enjoy hearing stories from your life in talks or Sunday School and listening to your addresses; your experiences have truly helped me along my mortal journey! I appreciate your faith, the light in your eyes, and the love you share with others. Have a fantastic birthday, President Nelson!! Thanks, Jen Baker. (Jennifer Baker, Mapleton, UT)

President Nelson, I just want you to know you’ve affected my life for good. Your stories about your experiences as a surgeon are inspiring and motivating. I love your positive and kind-natured attitude. Thank you for all you do for me and the church. (Joshua Howard, Utah)
The most pure of my goals is to truly KNOW God the Father and His holy Son. I know that to reach that goal I need to have the pure love of Christ; charity. Thanks so much Elder Nelson, you are a true disciple of Jesus Christ. You are helping me to reach my goals in life. Whenever I see you, or I listen to your inspired words, I truly feel the love of Christ. You are an inspiration to me. A living example of someone who knows the Savior. I love you! (Erick Sizilio, Aichi/Japan)
I’m so excited for you to come to our Stake Conference today and tomorrow! You are so amazing and listening to your talks has gotten my family and I through the hard times that we are going through right now. You’re such a courageous man of God and my family, and I thank you! (Zoe, Washington)
Thank you for your amazing example. I met you while serving as a missionary in Texas last year, which changed my life. I remember the strong Spirit that was in that meeting and often reflect on the message you shared. In that meeting I was able to truly experience, probably for the first time, what charity really is. I am so grateful for amazing and worthy Church leaders to guide us in the last days. (Kelsie, United States)
President Nelson, thank you so much for all that you have done for us members of the church and for those who are not members. Your testimony is a great example to all who hear you speak, whether it’s through General Conference or in person. Thank you again! We love you, and we pray for you to have the Spirit to be with you and all the other Apostles as you go about doing the Lord’s work. If there is anything we can do to help, let us know! (Alayna J., Arizona)
Thanks for inspiring, loving, and helping tons of people come unto Christ, staying on the path of righteousness with helping us improve and endure through the hard challenges we are facing, and for helping us prepare to endure and continue to become better examples for our family, with your love. (Daniel Moroni Advincula, Utah)
You are such an amazing example to me. I was reading about your life and how you tried to keep your family even when you had an intense work schedule as a doctor. Your focus on family and caring for others has helped me to make important decisions in my life. You are super-duper awesome and I really look up to you. (Victoria W., Utah)
Feliz cumpleaños Presidente Nelson! Gracias por su servicio y por sus enseñanzas y dedicación a la obra del Señor. Es un gran ejemplo para todos. Gracias por su amor. Mi familia y yo tuvimos la oportunidad de saludarlo y a su esposa en una conferencia en la ciudad de Leon con presidente Hinckley y fue una de las mejores experiencias en mi vida porque pude sentir que usted realmente es un Apóstol del Señor. Su mensaje en esa ocasión marcó nuestras vidas también. Y gracias por aquella vez que mi mamá y yo lo vimos en el aeropuerto de Salt Lake y a lo lejos nos hizo un saludo con la mano. Se siente su amor aunque no estemos cerca. Gracias presidente!! (Diana Romo, Guanajuato, México)

Happy Birthday President Nelson. There are too many experiences to write here of how much your counsel has helped us in our lives. Your words have been an answer to our prayers, have given us hope to press forward and lifted our souls when we have been down.

President Nelson, in December you came and spoke in the Orem Suncrest Stake for a special stake conference. As you entered the chapel and continued down the aisle you stopped at one pew and shook hands with some small boys. Two of them were my young sons. The smile you brought to their faces was so delightful to see. Afterward my older son said he would never wash his hand again. Thank you for taking the time to minister one by one as the Savior did. I hope you have had a very HaPpY bIrThDaY! (Shannon Fuller, Utah)
