Tribune columnist Gordon Monson comments on LDS apostle Dieter Uchtdorf's General Conference talk.
Apostle Dieter F. Uchtdorf speaks at General Conference on Saturday, April 6, 2024.in a small restroom on the lowest level of the Delta Center at a Jazz game. I had done my business and washed my hands and as I started to exit the room, Uchtdorf walked in. He looked like a movie star, dressed in a well-turned-out jacket, with the bronzed, chiseled face, the silver-white hair swept back like the airfoil on, yeah, a jet aircraft. Perfect for the aficionado of aviation.
Latter-day Saint apostle Dieter F. Uchtdorf, a former airline pilot and executive, greets the Eurowings Discover flight crew after arriving at Salt Lake City International Airport in 2022, the first nonstop flight from Frankfurt, Germany. But one talk stood out, at least to me, not simply because it stirred a handful of chortles, but because it wrapped big arms around all those who could hear it.
He wisely noted that “depression and other difficult mental and emotional challenges are real, and the answer is not simply, ‘Try to be happier’” — adding that, thankfully, therapists, counselors and other professionals can be summoned to help. Classic Dieter Uchtdorf. He’ll make a great prophet one day, God willing. Meantime, his talk alone made this General Conference worthwhile and memorable.
