Any thoughts who will fill the vacancy left by Elder Wirthlin?｢どｨび｢s passing?
Interestingly enough, the two most recent apostles had been serving in the Presidency of the Seventy when called. With that in mind, the longest serving members of the presidency are Neil L. Andersen and Ronald A. Rasband, both called in August 2005. Elder Anderson is from Idaho and Elder Rasband is from Utah.
For what it?｢どｨび｢s worth, there is also a Uruguayan and a Brazilian in the presidency.

Likely someone else already in Pres. Monson’s web of familial/friend connections.
I’d love to see Elder Jensen (Marlin K. – the democrat one) or Elder Costa, though.
Oh, good call. Elder Jensen was in the Presidency of the Seventy. It would be cool to have a church historian in the 12.
Elder Costa was the Brazilian I mentioned in my post.
I was thrilled with Elder Andersen getting the nod, he is a really good guy. When I was a somewhat less than strong lad he (was counselor in the SP), my Bishop and the Stake President encouraged me greatly to go on a mission. Their strength of Testimony really helped me out back then (1980′s).
