I love how the church runs so smoothly...What a blessing to have President Monson as our new Prophet. He is such a sweet faithful man and so steadfast and immovable in the gospel. What a great example he is to all. My kids absolutely love this man. And what wonderful counselors he has called to work and serve with him. We will sustain and support these righteous men in their new callings as they continue to lead and guide us in these latter days.
