My New Favorite Apostle

David A. Bednar, Quorum of the 12 Apostles, visited our stake this weekend. Friday afternoon was Priesthood Leadership Meeting, and then the adult session of stake conference followed. Elder Bednar asked for questions from the Priesthood meeting. David asked the question if Elder Bednar would be able to speak to the young men. Elder Bednar told him that if he had his young men there at Sunday's session of stake conference, he would address them. That night, all the young men were contacted and told that an Apostle of the Lord will be speaking to them, and to be sure to come.

What powerful meetings we had throughout the weekend. There was much direction and teaching we received throughout the weeknd, and a wonderful spirit that we all felt helped build us up and confirm to us once again that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the one true church upon the face of the earth. It was a very rare opportunity for us to hear from one of the Twelve in our stake.

Today President Mitchell told about the triathlon last weekend and how he saw Noah on the side of the road helping someone during the race. Later, Elder Bednar mentioned "Noah Prescott" three times, which made Noah feel like a pretty special guy. His mom was pretty darn proud, too! Way go to, Noah, for being such a great example!!

I really am thankful for the Church, and for the MANY blessings that come from being a member. I am especially glad that I can raise my children with the knowledge of God's Plan, and that we can be an eternal family.
