LDS Leaders: Called by the Lord

As the brethren rejoiced in General Conference today about the wonderful counsel given by President Monson during the Priesthood Broadcast, I found myself anxiously looking forward to further studying his words in the May issue of the "Ensign".
I remember when I first heard him speak many, many years ago, and how I was not much impressed with whom I considered just a garrulous storyteller.
Since then, however, I have repented of this foolish and misinformed opinion, and now love and revere him as God's Prophet, Seer, & Revelator.
His final conference remarks today were pure "Monson", and so full of Christ's love for all of us.
Among the other General Authorities, Brother Uchtdorff probably is my favorite, although Brother Eyring also really stirs my soul and deeply touches my heart.
