We always know that the leaders of the church were not always in that position, but we often forget that their lives were very rich before they were called to be an apostle. President Uchtdorf is an amazing man. He fought in multiple wars and held high honors. I knew he was from Germany but I did not realize that he and his family and to escape East Germany in order to protect themselves. He was only a young boy when this happened and it is an incredible story. While reading his talks, I was amazed at how well he is able to touch the hearts of those who read or listen to his talks. They are so reader friendly and his point is very clear. I absolutely loved reading his talks this week and getting to know him a lot better.
For a summary of his recent General Conference talks go to President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
