3 Nephi 3:19
Now it was custom among all the Nephites to appoint for their chief captains someone that had the spirit of revelation and also prophesy...
Imagine if that were the custom here in our country today. I would really appreciate someone that had the spirit of revelation and prophesy taking care of our countries' financial situation, and leading our foreign affairs today.
In Sister Beck's talk last night she gave us 3 responsibilities
- Increase in faith and personal righteousness
- Strengthen families and homes
- Serve the Lord and his children
Imagine if we had a president of the country who was laying out responsibilities for us as a nation? Imagine if we had a president who was leading, encouraging, and admonishing the people of this country to:
- Increase in faith and personal righteousness
- Strengthen families and homes
- Serve the Lord and his children
For now, I guess I can just do my best to follow the counsel myself, and share the message in any ways that I can. With the large number of women that attended the broadcast last night, I am sure that those women alone, in following the counsel given, can be a powerful source for good in the world.

well said. i have been musing this past week, with the economic crisis, how we as a nation are depending on the arm of man to solve the situation. what we really need is to have a leader call us to repentance and improvement, like you suggested. we need to look to god to solve our financial (and other) woes.
