President Russell M. Nelson maintained a steady mix of empathy and optimism for the future as he led The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints through the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic from its headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Weeping with those who mourned lost loved ones and grieving for those suffering physically, emotionally and economically, he also provided the practical leadership to spearhead the largest humanitarian effort in church history.
After the pandemic was declared on March 11, 2020, President Nelson regularly told church members to look forward with joyful anticipation to what he has called wonderful days beyond the crisis. He also encouraged them to consider 2020 an extraordinary year, seeing the struggles it has presented as opportunities to serve, turn to God and fill their own personal spiritual storehouses.
