Thomas Monson

We mourn Worthlin has died, but he is carrying on work from other side of the veil. We have called Neil Anderson to fill vacancy in quorum of 12 apostles. Thank you for sustaining vote. Anderson takes his place with 12 on the stand. Excitement joy joy.

Monson traveled to Mexico to rededicate renovated temple. Event in Aztec stadium. 80k spectators. 80 minute display of music and dance. We were filled with spirit of the lord.

Draper temple in south salt lake valley. 600k visited the temple. 335k at dedication. Such a big church. Spirit of the lord was there. We will dedicate Oquirrh temple. We look forward to temple dedication because we can reevaluate our own performance. We can do better.

The church is doing very well. Work of the lord is moving forward. 53k missionaries. We are teaching all nations and baptizing them. We are grateful for missionaries and for their sacrifices to serve. We have volunteers in non-proselyting who further the work of the lord. We are thankful for free service. Perpetual education fund is moving forward. 35k in program to train to improve their skills. 18k have finished. They now increase their income by 3 or 4 times. What a blessing. Program is inspired.

Thank you for your faith and devotion, for your service in wards. It is service that allows lord to accomplish his purpose. Thank you for kindness to Monson and for your prayers. He feels your prayers.

Now we are anxious to listen to message so we can be taught and inspired and have determination to live the gospel. Speakers have sought heaven's help as they give their message.
