This picture captures the emotions of  Elder David A. Bednar and Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf as they took their seats among the Quorum of the Twelve after they were named apostles.
 

Elder Bednar said he recalled a "Sesame Street" song as he sat alongside his fellow apostles in the Conference Center for the first time.

"As the names were presented (for sustaining vote), I Iistened to Hinckley, Monson, Faust, Packer and Perry . . . Those all seemed to fit together until they got to Bednar. And that's the name that seems like was the one 'not like the others.' "
