New First Presidency and new apostle

In General Conference yesterday, we were privilieged to sustain a new first presidency. Our prophet and president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is Thomas S. Monson. His first counselor is Henry B. Eyring and Second Counselor is Dieter F. Uchtdorf. We also sustained a new apostle. His name is D. Todd Christofferson. There was a wonderful spirit and I have faith and confidence that these men are called of God and will have His help as they are on the Lord's errand. They will be in my prayers.
