thoughts about the new prophet

I was praying to know that President Nelson is a mouthpiece for God. I think I know he was called of God, that he has all the keys, that he's prophet. But I wanted to know if what he said and did was inspried of God. There have been things in the past very few in my lifetime, but I can think of a thing or two, like the transgender comment and how he said it, when he came to Omaha) times when someone has said something and I've wondered if it really was from God, or just from them. I think that, after this weekend's thoughts, i think that I should accept it all first, and then if something doesn't sit right, then pray about that. Instead of not accept any of it, and have to prove all of it. I am not sure if that is right, though, because then does that just mean I bleieve stuff if it sits right to me? Maybe not. Maybe it just means that if it doesn't sit right, I will go through the process to figure ourt if it is or not.

Anyway, I really loved PresidenT Nelson today. I have also loved everything that has happened since hehas been the president. The church's statement and stance on DACA recipients; the content in the Friend that talks about taking care of the earth, recycling, doing yoga and breathing, other cultures, and Heavenly Parents (not just Heavenly Father). And then today there were a lot of changes and I just loved them all. They all seem very inspired from the get-go (meaning I don't need to give them time to proveI just believe them straight away). There were some changes today: VTing and HTing are replaced with "ministering." I love that focus. VTing was getting so annoying, how you have to report the numbers and how that made it forced sometimes. Now it's just focused on needs. And how the YW are now involved in that. Just cool stuff.

President Nelson talked about receiving revelation. He said with all of the information and misinformation in the world, stuff that we read and see every day, it's so important that we learn how to receive revelation. It's too late to knowhow to hear and recognize the HG once a typhoon has already hit, for example. He said revelation might come litle by little. Another speaker said that the scriputre in D and C that talks about how it isn't needful that we ask in all things isn't referring to us asking God in all things. It's talking about asking the prophet in all things. This was life changing for me. Because it made me realize that I can and should ask God about way way more stuff! And that He will answer! It just doesn't mean that I can sit around and wait for an answer before I act. I still need to be anxiously engaged and all of that. So good and so interesting.

Anyway. I felt like everything Presideny Nelson said today was from God. I felt like he was inspried. I felt like he loed me and that he wants good, true good, to happen to all of God's children, not just certain ones.
