8 General Authority Fun Facts & Stories President Monson was ordained an apostle when he was only 36 years old! President Packer loves to paint and carve birds out of wood. Elder Perry s dad used to make him go to a farm to milk cows (even though his family lived in the city) because his dad wanted him to learn the value of hard work. Elder Hales loves baseball and was an excellent college pitcher until an injury ended his athletic career. Elder Bednar met his future wife while they were playing flag football for FHE at BYU. He also had the pleasure of being able to baptize his own father, when, one day while a doctorate student at Purdue (after years of praying for his father s conversion), his dad called and said, What are you doing this Saturday? I need you home to baptize me. During WWII, due to gas rationing, President Eyring s family was given permission to use their home in New Jersey for a place of church worship. His family was often the only ones who attended. Elder Nelson has perfect pitch and used to sing in many choirs, performed in musicals, and was in award winning quartets! While working on an oyster boat for a summer job, the fishermen used to mock Elder Scott for his values until one night a man fell overboard and 17-yearold Scotty was the sober man on board to be able to go in after him to save him. Elder Cook loves sports and was the captain of his high school football team. He later went on a mission to England and came home to marry his high school sweetheart. Elder Christofferson served his mission in Argentina with Elder Richard G. Scott as his mission president! President Uchtdorf is the only apostle who was born outside the United States. Elder Oaks is the only apostle who never served as either a full-time missionary, bishop, stake president, mission president, seventy, or member of presiding bishopric before being called. Elder Ballard s father had a family business called Ballard Motor Company, which Elder Ballard one day took over. Elder Holland was a cocaptain of his Dixie College basketball team in St. George, Utah. Elder Andersen can speak FOUR languages: English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. Also, he and his family love the hymns. They had implemented an almost daily program in their home to learn the hymns.
