Yesterday as I watched the end of the last session of General Conference, my heart was overflowing with joy. Joy not only from the Spirit I felt from the words that were said, but also from what I felt as I watched the prophet and apostles conduct themselves with goodness and humility. It was very touching to watch President Monson as he was leaving the Conference Center. While walking next to his wife and leading the group of apostles with their wives, he stopped and took a few moments with the people.
I watched as a prophet of God waved to the conference attendees as they waved back. President Monson motioned to a young boy to come here, and with the help of those on the main floor they lifted this boy up to see the prophet. President Monson held the boys hands together and spoke to him and let him know how important he was. President Monson then did the same with another young man. The leaders following behind him were smiling and grateful instead of rushing to get out the door or worrying about how hungry and tired they might be. They all seemed to know what was most important. As the prophet turned to leave again, he waved to the people, and you could see love in his eyes for them. The people reciprocated this love by waving back with a sincere appreciation in their eyes.
As I watched this, I felt sure that this is exactly what the Savior would do in this situation. Just like Christ did when he was on the earth as he suffered the children to come unto him. I am so grateful for a prophet and apostles who not only preach God's will, but live God's will, and do all that they can to exemplify the Savior, Jesus Christ.

I am thankful for modern day prophets; and now especially for President Thomas S. Monson. I know he is a prophet of God. I am thankful he has so much compassion for all of us and our problems. His face radiates his love and care.
