I think by far he is the most charismatic apostle that we have. So much so that he has upstaged President Monson. Almost as if the mantle is more on him than anyone else.

People in the past have said that David O. McKay just seemed to emulate the very idea of a modern prophet. Everything fit.

That's kind of what I see in Uchtdorf. He seems comfortable. Like the coat fits just right. Strong, but not forced. Doesn't get into all the tears in his talks. Not that he lacks emotions. He's just not up there crying every time like some. I don't have anything against crying. It's just that Uchtdorf stands out. Like if we are in his hands, we are in good hands.

Wouldn't it be ironic, assuming he one days becomes the President, that our most dynamic president in a long time would be a foreigner? As it is, it is ironic enough already.

There's an interesting dynamic going on here.
