When the message comes in the dark of night, Russell Nelson reaches for his lighted pen and takes dictation from the Lord. "Okay dear, it's happening." Nelson tells his wife Wendy. "I remain quiet and soon he is sitting up in bed writing. "One such morning Nelson emerged from the bedroom waving a yellow notebook. "Wendy, you won't believe what's been happening for two hours", she recalled Russell Nelson saying. "The Lord has given me detailed instructions on a process I am to follow."
So when will these instructions be added to the canon?
I can see why the faithful get excited about all of this, after all they have spent most of their lives explaining why the current or even past prophets never claimed to receive direct revelation from God. Given the impact Nelson's approach is having on millennials and even others within the Church, I think it won't take too long for many of them to wish for the days when the prophet slept soundly though the night.
