He became the leader of the Church on January 14, 2018. His time as prophet will forever be remembered as one of global ministry (he visited several dozen countries and U.S. territories), increased temple construction (he announced dozens of new temples) and profound change. Beginning in the April 2018 general conference in which he was sustained as the senior Apostle, President Nelson began introducing frequent adjustments designed to help the Saints minister more like Jesus Christ and better emphasize the centrality of the Savior of the world in all the Church does.
