I have come to know President Thomas S. Monson just a little better over the past few weeks. I worked with his sister for 3 years as a teacher and she told us that the childhood stories he shares are exactly what he was like as a child. She (his sister) also shares the same qualities- kind, stalwart, open, fun, etc. I have reflected a lot on all that he has taught (in word and deed) over my lifetime. This morning for the first time I watched the press conference announcing his ordination to be the new president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. View it below if you haven't already.
If there were a scripture that described the love and Christlike service of President Monson, it would be James 1:27 -
"Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world."

Thanks for posting the Press Conference with the new Prophet Monson. It was neat to hear his testimony.
