We may on occasion be privileged to see what he sees, but, in either event, we are to follow the prophet

“Now we are entering times wherein there will be for all of us as Church members, in my judgment, some SPECIAL challenges which will require of us that we follow the Brethren. All the EASY things that the Church has had to do have been done. From now on, it’s high adventure, and followership is going to be tested in some interesting ways…….The prophet will often see where we do not see. We may on occasion be privileged to see what he sees, but, in either event, we are to follow the prophet.”
