Four days before being released as a stake president, Elder Brent H. Nielson joined President Gordon B. Hinckley to scout out land for a temple to be built in Twin Falls, Idaho. A few years later, with a beautiful temple now dedicated to the Lord, Elder and Sister Nielson have enjoyed being a part of the temple from its beginnings.
Although Elder Nielson's new call to the First Quorum of the Seventy will take them away from Twin Falls, they are excited about a new opportunity. Elder Brent Hatch Nielson was sustained as a member of the First Quorum of the Seventy during general conference April 4. Elder Nielson, 54, was serving in the Fifth Quorum of the Seventy at the time of his call.
