Duncan Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 http://www.ldschurchnews.com/articles/60833/Area-leadership--2011.htmlAccording to this Elder Tad R. Callister is in the Presidency of the 70 and Elder Costa seems to have been released and serving in the Brazil area, is this the case? I don't seem to have sustained this-i have no problem with it, It seems to be putting the horse before the cart a touch! Link to comment

It means that the GA's manage church affairs and make calls and changes as they feel the need then the church membership either sustains or rejects their actions. You will get your chance to sustain this action at the next general conference. Link to comment

Holland was ordained an apostle on June 23, 1994. His calling was announced at that time. The sustaining took place the following October at general conference. Link to comment
Duncan Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 I actually know Elder Callister, I served in his area as a missionary and everything that goes along with that, but i highly doubt he would remember me! I was just curious is all! Link to comment
