Prophets and Presidents


I recently watched the DVD called "Presidents and Prophets" and felt that I was highly educated regarding the Prophets of the Church and the Presidents of the United States. I had no idea how much interaction the Presidents have had with the Prophets. I went on a family vacation shortly after watching the DVD and on the way home from my niece's baptism, we talked about the events discussed in the DVD the whole way home and felt a greater appreciation for both the Prophets and the Presidents of the Church. Below is a short description of what Michael Winder discovered as he researched the relationships between the Prophets and the Presidents. I highly recommend it! I learned alot!
