Our New Prophet

It was certainly no surprise, that President Thomas S. Monson was named the new Prophet this morning. Tradition holds that he would be named. So it took me by surprise, as I was watching the press conference that I felt the Lord confirm to me that President Monson was called by God to be the next Prophet. I certainly hadn't prayed to have a conformation, nor was I having a Spiritual morning. Anything, but. Porter wouldn't leave Zoey alone, so of course, there was a lot of yelling going on. But I made sure that Zoey was napping and Porter had cartoons on upstairs, so I could have some peace while watching the news.

I didn't do a tribute post to President Hinckley, because I'm really horrible at good-byes. I hate them. I avoid them at all costs. I like to think of him being with his wife and the really big party going on in heaven to greet him. Also, I like change. You get really used to changes on a mission. So, I'm excited to see our new Presidency and what they will teach me. I'm extra excited about President Uchtdorf being in the Presidency. I'm a tad partial to his accent and all. And I found out that President Monson and I have the same favorite color, yellow. He already taught me things about yellow that I didn't know. Wow.
