The last response was this, “The only qualification for a prophet is this: that he hear the voice of the Lord. President Monson has held the apostleship since his thirties. Can you imagine a more qualified man?”
I know that President Monson is the Lord’s representative to the world. I know that as we follow him we will be led to Christ.
