Adding Elder Uchtdorf to First Presidency shows the increasingly international membership of the church.

"Whom the Lord calls, the Lord qualifies." One of my favorite President Monson quotes.

We are proud to belong to our Savior's church, and to be led by such great and spiritual men in these latter days.

I was thinking Boyd K Packer would be one of the counselors. I guessed Pres. Eyring. Thank you, brethren, for your dedicated service.

I was hoping for L. Tom Perry. It's so much easier to pronounce than Uchtdorf. :)

How lucky we are to have President Monson! Although we will sorely miss President Hinckley, I KNOW the church is in good hands now!

I find it exciting that there is the possibility of having a member of the first presidency who doesn't have farm stories about Payson.
