I know he has been struggling with health issues lately. My heart goes out to his family:
https://www.deseretnews.com/article/865 ... -away.htmlWhat are the chances Elder Hales will be replaced by a Mexican, South American, Polynesian or other more racially diverse individual?
I would like to say I'm optimistic, but I'm not holding my breath.

He should be replaced by a Brazilian.

0%. He'll be replaced by a White, American born, Wasatch front millionaire whose wife loves to wear pastel colors.

(Sigh...)
I'm only sighing because it's probably true.

I would love this. Elder Claudio Costa would be a great choice and his name came up quite a bit two years ago when there were three vacancies. He's been a Seventy for 23-ish years and is 68 years old.

How do you know "his name came up quite a bit"?

I don't care about the race, all I want is a more transparent apostle. And what difference would it make if we get a Latino apostle? It is not like that would prevent Trump from winning Utah in 2020.

Elder Hales just died, but Elder Holland still has 100 thousand more likes on Facebook than him. When I was a believing Mormon I didn't have my favorites.

If they replace him with an African-American lesbian married to a woman, I might consider coming back to church.
