New First Presidency

I have been posting a lot about my church lately, probably because a lot has been going on.

Lots of parentheses to follow.

My sister Phoebe recently posted about what to how to refer to general authorities (leaders of the LDS Church as a whole) if you want to be respectful. (hint: nicknames are not it) I have to admit that it is tempting to resort to terms of endearment with general authorities (or GAs as I have been known to say) because I am big on terms of endearment with those I know and love (or don't love) as well as those I don't know and love (or don't love).

That said, I am going to continue referring to (now-) President Uchtdorf by his title, as I have always done, despite the great temptation to say "Dieter" in a German accent--because, if you didn't know, I have a rockin' German accent. (really.) I think it might also seem a little disrespectful to say "President Dieter F. Uchtdorf" in a German accent, no matter how great it sounds and how great I think he is, so I won't do that either.

For the record--I don't know President Uchtdorf--or President Eyring, or President Monson--but I do in fact love them all. They are inspired choices to lead this Church.
