I am so grateful for these wise men. The world is changing so fast. I feel like the values I hold dear are being mocked and devalued. Lately these men, whom I believe are working under the direction of our Savior, are becoming less popular with the world and even with members of my own faith. But I know how I feel and I will stand with these men and hold on to my faith.
Last Conference Elder Bednar gave a beautiful talk on his love and respect for these older men. I loved the tenderness in his voice as he spoke of them.
"Serving with these representatives of the Lord, I have come to know their greatest desire is to discern and do the will of our Heavenly Father and His Beloved Son. As we counsel together, inspiration has been received and decisions have been made that reflect a degree of light and truth far beyond human intelligence, reasoning, and experience. As we work together in unity on perplexing problems, our collective understanding of an issue has been enlarged in marvelous ways by the power of the Holy Ghost."
I truly believe this.
