Do you know your prophets?

Jason and I teach the 8 year olds in Primary and this past Sunday the Stake Presidents wife, who is in our ward, came into singing time to tell us her story about the song, Latter-Day Prophets, from the LDS Childrens Songbook.  I was so suprised to know that she was the one who actually wrote this song.  She wrote it to the tune of 'all around the mulberry bush' and she wrote it for a girl in her class who was having trouble remembering the prophets.  Since we have had several new prophets since Kimball, who i think the song ended on when she wrote it, the church has added the new prophets and taken out some of the words to make the song the same length.  Anyways, I thought this was so cool and I didn't know just anyone could write songs and submit them to the church, which is what she did.  I remember learning this song in Primary and I loved hearing her song.  Jason doesn't remember ever hearing this song at all...I told him, that was probably the year he didn't go to church. Since when he was little he said his family was inactive for about a year.
Oh yeah, and speaking of Prophets my sister in-law Bridget is a direct descendant of Brigham Young.  They have this Luncheon for the granddaughters of Brigham Young every year, that she gets to go to. pretty cool!
