I’m betting that Thomas Spencer Monson gets chosen to be the next LDS church president once the LDS Apostles meet to decide upon this announcement after Hinckley’s funeral.

It probably will be Pres. Monson, but I’d like to see Pres. Boyd K. Packer installed.

I met Pres. Hinckley in Florida in the mid 60’s - but I knew Pres. Packer, having met him the first day he took over as Pres. of the New England Mission in the 60’s = and many opportunities to interact with him during those years. He is a man of deep faith, humility and compassion.

In case someone hasn’t pointed it out yet (I haven’t read the whole thread yet), the senior Apostle is next in line. Always. There is no choosing. Monson is it.
