Thomas the Train and the First Presidency

We mean no disrespect, this is just a funny observation we share in honor of General Conference Weekend--

Until recently, M has always been a big Thomas the Train fan (little J has now assumed custody of everything Thomas in our house). A few years ago M astutely pointed out that the entire First Presidency had the same name as his favorite trains:

Gordon:











Thomas:












James:











A few weeks ago as we talked with our kids about the upcoming general conference and that a new member of the First Presidency would be called, I joked that the only other apostle who had a name from the Thomas the Train series was Henry B. Eyring, and I predicted that Elder Eyring would be the new counselor.

Too funny! We kind of predicted Henry B Eyring as well, not using Thomas the Train though... we thought someone young would be a good fit... I LOVE listening to Henry B. Eyring!
