"Thomas S. Monson is the new president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, it was announced today at a news conference in the Church Office Building. President Monson, 80, succeeds President Gordon B. Hinckley, who died 27 January.
The new world leader of the Church has called to serve with him in the First Presidency, the top governing body of the 13-million-member faith, President Henry B. Eyring, 74, first counselor, and President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, 67, second counselor.
President Boyd K. Packer, 83, is the new president of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. The vacancy in the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles will be filled later."
I am so greatful for the life of President Gordon B. Hinkley, he has been a guide, an inspiration and a lite in my life. I will miss him, but am so touched by the beautiful reunion he must have had on the other side with his sweet wife, friends and family.
I look forward to learning from President Monson as I have President Hinkley.

Kelli, thank you for sharing the news! I'm not in the habit of checking the church news while I'm out here, so your blog entry was news to me. Thanks for keeping me updated on the church. It seems like the only thing I'm getting the news on is the election! Alright, you are wonderful...thanks again for your entry.
Yes, I played games...When all the girls are playing games and all the boys are watching the game..It really leaves a person with little choice...haha...It was fun though. I didn't know what to do when you get tagged either, but it's fun. Here are the rules: You have to answer all the same questions that I did on my blog then tag 4-5 people that have blogs. It's just a fun way for people to get to know you better..
