Do you believe in Modern Day Apostles?

Do you believe that their are Apostles in the church today. I do believe it but I am interested in what others may think.

Update:

Ok I like the answers so far but what about outside the LDS Church. Many in the Pentacostal Movement have Apostles i.e. Apostle Arturo Skinner, Apostle Michael Densmore, Apostle Israel Butler.

    Yep - I'm LDS so we've got 12 apostles just as in days of old. And a living prophet, too.

    I believe there are people chosen by God to fulfill certain works in every age, but I would not call them Apostles, nor give them the same length of spiritual authority...

    The apostles were chosen followers of Jesus, and the church (Christians), were God's elect since before He created the earth, so all Christians are apostles.
