President/Prophet Pt. II
Well the council has nominated a person for Prophet/President of the church. Stephen M. Veazey. This was announced on March the 4th. I know that this has been a hard time for many in the church and that will continue up and most likely through conference. I still do not know how to feel about the councils decision discernment of the call. I think the part that I don't like about it is that they are not giving the Conference a choice on the leadership of the church. I would be more at ease if two people had been selected and it was left to the Conference Delegation to decide. What do you think? -post in the comments.

I think that one person to sustain is an ok method for this process. It's like discerning a priesthood call in a congregation. At our business meetings we don't vote for who we want to become, say, an elder, but we sustain someone that the leadership has discerned has a call to that office. This just happens to be a bigger office. I think that we have to kind of trust that ourleadership have been prayerful and discerning of the spirit as they considered Steve.
I am excited because I'm going to be at conference! I'm going to be in Independence for an intensive seminary course, so I'll get to be a delegate while I'm there. I hope we can get together! I am looking forward to the class, to conference, and to catching up with old friends.
