On behalf of the Church of Latter-Day Saints (Church of LDS), Checketts was President of the England London Mission in the United Kingdom from July 2018 to July 2021. He led over 700 full-time volunteers from 54 different countries to help political refugees find jobs and housing. The mission opened many Friendship Centers teaching English and offering care to refugees. Under Checketts’ leadership, the England London mission overcame challenges from COVID-19 and mandatory lockdowns to still accomplish many of its original goals.
From 2008 to 2018, Checketts served as Chairman of the Clinical Neurosciences Center at the University of Utah research hospital. He recruited and established an executive board to create a vision and plan for future facilities and hospitals.

In 2004, Checketts hosted an open house for over 100,000 people who toured the newly constructed Manhattan Temple in New York (Church of LDS). Checketts oversaw the dedication of the building which received international media coverage, largely due to its central location in one of the most influential cities of the world.
Checketts was a member of the New York YMCA from 1993-1999.
Under his tenure as President of Madison Square Garden in the 1990’s, Checketts established the Cheering for Children Foundation.

Charles Winston Dahlquist II says that his testimony has grown “little by little, just through doing the things the Lord has asked me to do—like going to seminary and responding to Church callings.”
He hoped the youth would have a similar experience during his time as Young Men general president. “I would like to help build a generation of young men who not only know who they are, but also have a little inkling of why they were sent here and the part in the plan of salvation they can play,” he says.
Brother Dahlquist believes the youth will be blessed in the same way he was if they are faithful. And, he says, because we live in a wicked world “we need the strongest youth that we have ever had, and I believe we have as fine a generation—if not finer—than any we’ve ever had before in the history of the world.”
Brother Dahlquist has had experience working with the young men of the Church. A recipient of the Silver Beaver Award, he has been involved in Scouting for most of his life and has been a ward Young Men president. Other Church callings he has fulfilled include president of the Germany Hamburg Mission, full-time missionary in the Swiss Mission, stake president, counselor in a stake presidency, and high councilor. Brother Dahlquist is an attorney and is actively involved in community service.
Born in Provo, Utah, to C. Winston and Afton Ahlander Dahlquist, Brother Dahlquist, 56, spent his childhood in Boise, Idaho. Following Brother Dahlquist’s mission, he married Zella B Darley in the Salt Lake Temple on 2 June 1969. They now live in Sandy, Utah. They have five daughters and seven grandchildren.
“I married my high school sweetheart,” Brother Dahlquist says. “We were in the same ward in Boise. I was the Sunday School music director, and she was the Sunday School organist. We say we’ve been making music together ever since.”

Elder John H Groberg (born June 17, 1934) was a General Authority Seventy from 1976 to 2005, and in 2005 was designated as an emeritus general authority of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 
Elder Groberg was born to Delbert V. and Jennie Groberg in Idaho Falls, Idaho in 1934. He grew up in Idaho Falls during and after the Great Depression. Elder Groberg received a bachelor's degree from Brigham Young University (BYU) and an MBA from Indiana University. 
Elder Groberg served as a missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Tonga. He experienced much difficulty in getting to Tonga: he was prevented from arriving by strikes, visa problems, and transport issues. Elder Groberg served briefly in Los Angeles, Samoa, and Fiji while waiting for his transport to be finalized. When he finally arrived in Tonga, his first assignment was on the remote island of Niuatoputapu, which had had only limited contact with the outside world in the form of an occasional telegraph and a visiting boat. During the year he spent on the island, Elder Groberg suffered from mosquitoes, a typhoon, and starvation. His missionary companion on Niuatoputapu was Feki Po'uha, who would later serve as district president in Niue, while Elder Groberg was president of the church's Tongan Mission (which at that point included Niue).  
After a year on Niuatoputapu, Elder Groberg was assigned to more developed islands and served as a district president supervising smaller branch congregations of the church. Elder Groberg later reported that the branches he dealt with lacked unity and morality. He had little contact with his supervising mission president and nearly drowned when pushed out of a boat during a major storm; he also suffered from exhaustion frequently. Elder Groberg was denied an extension to his mission that would have allowed him to accompany a group of church converts to the New Zealand Temple. 
Elder Groberg wrote a book about his mission from his memoirs called In the Eye of the Storm, which was adapted into the 2001 Disney film The Other Side of Heaven.  A sequel to the film, The Other Side of Heaven 2: Fire of Faith, was made in 2018. 
Elder Groberg married Jean Sabin and they have 11 children.
