A New Prophet


Yesterday, the new prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was announced at a press conference at the Church Office Building.  I didn't have a chance to watch it live, but we all watched it together for Family Home Evening last night.  President Thomas S. Monson is now the sixteenth prophet for our Church.  His counselors are President Henry B. Eyring and President Dieter F. Uchtdorf.  You can watch the press conference here by clicking on "video" and starting the player.
I know that President Monson is a prophet who receives revelation for us and for our day.  God speaks with him and instructs him in the direction the Church should go and in how to teach, care for, and best help the members become the best we can be.  I am excited to listen to and be instructed by President Monson.
