With Packer's death, Russell M. Nelson (also 90) is the new President of the Quorum of the Twelve, and next in line to succeed prophet Thomas S. Monson. Should he die, the Presidency will go to Dalin H. Oaks (82) and then to M. Russell Ballard (86).

Is Nelson on death's door? I'd assume he is, being 90.

Why is Heber such a common name?

Why is Heber such a common name?

Probably because it was a common name when the LDS Church started up. Heber C Kimball was a very popular apostle, after all. And being a polygamist, he had a lot of kids, who then spread his name. And people seemed to like it back then even if they were unrelated (like Heber J Grant).

Coolcoolcool.

Heber has nothing on Hyrum/Hiram though (or Brigham for that matter). Seems like every city's church I've been to, there's been at least one Hyrum.

Hence Hyrum Graff, from Ender's Game.

And why is Jensen such a common name? Nephi U.S.C. Jensen, Emma Jensen (mother of Boyd L. Packer), the Jensen family in my town, etc.
