This is very exciting news. After telling our kids of Gordon B. Hinckley's death, they asked who the new prophet was going to be. They just new that was called was going to be called of God. I know he is called of god and will lead the church in righteousness. I am excited for the years to come. I have always enjoyed President Monson's talks and insights.
