Follow the Prophet

We have just finished listening to another great two days of General Conference. What an amazing blessing to have prophets and apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ on the earth again to give us direction!

I know President Thomas S. Monson is God's prophet today. To learn more about him go here. Yesterday he spoke to us about the church's welfare program, and the importance of temple work. Learn more about temples here. Just thirty years ago there were only 20 temples now there are 134 with 27 more in the process of being built! He spoke of many examples of people who have made great sacrifices to attend the temple. He said, "Those that understand the eternal blessings which come from the temple, know that no sacrifice is too great, no price is too heavy, no struggle too difficult in order to receive those blessings."

What a marvelous blessing to have a living prophet and to have the sacred temple of God close enough to us to travel without too much trouble!
