Prophet

The Prophet literally talks with God to lead the Church; he is His representative here on Earth. The Prophet leads the Apostles, as President of the Church, in the administration of Church affairs, doctrine, and its general direction. The current Prophet is Gordon B. Hinckley and the first Prophet of the LDS church was Joseph Smith Jr. A complete list of the Prophets of the LDS church can be found here (http://www.lds.org/churchhistory/presidents/leaders.jsp).
