The new world leader of the Church has called to serve with him in the First Presidency, President Henry B. Eyring, 74, first counselor, and President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, 67, second counselor.

It is wonderful to see our church go forward. We are so privilegded to be led by a living prophet in our days. It is wonderful to be a part of this church in these latter days.

Responding to a reporter’s question about the Church’s openness in working with other churches and groups, President Monson said: “We should not be sequestered in a little cage. We should eliminate the weakness of the one standing alone and substitute it with the strength of working together to make this a better world.”
