Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, Mormon Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
Jeffrey R. Holland was born on December 3, 1940, and grew up in St. George, Utah. As a boy he enjoyed sports, especially baseball. Elder Holland once stated, “I played on every kind of team that could have been assembled.” He attended Dixie High School and was on the state championship football and basketball teams. He received letters for football, basketball, track, and baseball. Patricia Terry, who later became his wife, was a cheerleader at his high school. They dated for two years before Elder Holland was called on a Mormon mission to England. His mission taught him that teaching was the profession he would like to pursue.
