A New First Presidency

I was thrilled to see the three men that now head The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. What an exciting time we get to live through right now? We've enjoyed a long education and guidance under Pres. Hinckley. Now that he has passed on, a new set of leaders has been put in place. Pres. Monson will be a wonderful prophet. I have always loved listening to his talks. He's such a good story-teller and each story has real meaning. We can do well to emulate him as we ponder our own "parables of the soul". Pres. Eyring and Pres. Uchtdorf are also great men to lead and inspire. I was surprised at Pres. Uchtdorf since he is so "new" to the apostleship, but also know that he is very capable.
I think it is amazing to watch this smooth transition and the peace that comes with the spirit especially during this year of a USA presidential election. I am so grateful to belong to Jesus Christ's church and that it is lead by the power of the priesthood instead of the power and prestige given by man!
