In a news release, the visitor center said, “the 75-minute broadcast will celebrate the life and teachings of President Nelson. On June 1, President Nelson invited people to commemorate his 100th birthday by reaching out to the one in need, just as the Savior did, referring to His teachings in the parable of the lost sheep in the Bible.”
“Examples of what people around the world have done over the past 100 days in honor of his birthday will be shared in stories from the people who were ‘the one.'”
The broadcast will also be shown on the church’s website and YouTube channel and will be translated into multiple languages.
