While many a tourist finds temporary happiness at the Magic Kingdom, President Russell M. Nelson told more than 15,000 Latter-day Saints on Sunday in Orlando, residents of God’s kingdom discover lasting joy by obeying divine decrees.
“The happiest place on earth? It could be Orlando, or Osaka or Odessa,” the 94-year-old leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints said, according to a news release. “It is wherever the Spirit of the Lord dwells in the hearts of the people.”
Nelson — along with his wife, Wendy, and apostle Dieter F. Uchtdorf and his wife, Harriet — spoke at the Amway Center, home to the NBA’s Orlando Magic and a mere 20 or so minutes from the popular Disney World resorts.
