If it adheres to recent behavior, it will include Elder Holland who is next in line for Presidency. It's been several presidencies ago when one of the prophets spoke about how hard it is to be put in that position without some experience. The challenge is that neither Elder Holland nor next in line Elder Eyring (who has also had presidency training already) can travel because of their health. And First Presidency travel is important in our world where half of our members live outside the US. Elder Uchtdorf is next but he already has had some training in the Presidency. Did you notice that they had to go deep to Elder Bednar for the Michigan shooting/fire response?

He said he was going to do it, left a note to that effect at home and told his roomie where to find it. The gun belonged to his grandfather. He has been shooting it for years. He admitted he did it. Of course in our world people claim conspiracies. I'm inclined when something walks like a duck, talks like a duck, looks like a duck, to believe it is a duck.

It will never cease to amaze me how and why people desire to control the entire world and every one in it, but only if they get to choose what is okay or not. Can't help but wonder how our world could be better by teaching truth without putting down those who don't recognize truth at the moment.

No one has to tell parents: when someone has their names removed, they are no longer connected as children to their parents in their parents records in LDS Tools. They are no longer sealed to their parents. That isn't an inheritance thing. It is a brokenhearted thing. (Maybe also if you are so short sighted in this then we have a hard time thinking that more money is going to be spent in any good way.) (And I tend to think pretty silly anyway if you really don't believe in the truth claims then why do you care what church records say or don't say).

Just wondering whether things are improving for your area. Thinking of you and the area challenges.

The Lord's belonging is valid baptism. And a member who hasn't attended a single church meeting for 75 years, remains a member with access to the gift of the Holy Ghost. Why do mortals think they are entitled to exclude members on criteria that God doesn't use?
