This is Jordan, with Jonathan Roberts at Jordan's high school graduation. I've known Jonathan for 26 years now. He married Beverly 'J', my BYU roommate. Their son Mark is Jordan's best friend and we've had a fond relationship with them and their family for many many years. Yesterday, I cried when they announced Jonathan Roberts name as a new Area Seventy in General Conference. Jonathan has been serving as our Stake President here in Texas since we moved here over 6 years ago. He's a good good man. One of our own. And his wife Beverly, my dear friend, is just as good. We will miss Jonathan terribly as our stake president, but what a great opportunity for more people to come to know and love him as we do.We also had a new apostle called to the Quorum of the Twelve - Elder Neil Anderson, who replaces Elder Joseph Worthlin who passed away last year. What wonderful men the Lord is calling to serve in these latter days. The Lord is so aware of our needs and desires to call such men to lead and guide us. I feel total love and confidence in these priesthood leaders, our prophet and the other members of the Twelve. It will be most interesting to see who is now called to lead our Frisco Stake. There are sooo many who could...or can, when the Lord calls them. We will love them just as we do Jonathan - Elder Roberts.
