A year following his call become president of the Tooele Stake, the twenty-four year old Heber J. Grant stopped by the Salt Lake studio of Charles Savage, the pioneer photographer. The conversation took an unexpected turn. He told me, Elder Grant wrote in his journal, to put it down that within one year I would be a member of the Twelve Apostles.1 One year and a few days later, young Heber received his call. The assignment led the new apostle's two closest friends, Anthony W. Ivins and Richard W. Young, write letters of encouragement.
