Many of you know and many of you don't know that our Prophet, President Thomas S. Monson, passed away early this year. The previous October one of the Twelve Apostles also passed away, leaving two holes to be filled. Every six months, our Prophet, Apostles and other general leaders speak to us giving us counsel, advice, commandments and announcements. This is called General Conference. During the last General Conference in April, two new Apostles were called, Elder Gerritt W. Gong and Elder Ulisses Soares, and we sustained our new Prophet, President Russell M. Nelson.
Elder Gong and Elder Funk (from the Seventy), came to Beijing and spoke in a devotional to our Beijing International District. Amazing! How wonderful for the boys to see an Apostle of the Lord in person, hear his words for us and shake his hand! I hope they remember this in the years to come.
