Elder David A. Bednar
So I know I haven't posted in the last 2 days and so I realize I really need to. Last Friday night, my sister Kaytlin and I had the opportunity to attend a Young Single Adult fireside where Elder David A. Bednar, one of the twelve apostles, spoke. It was such an amazing experience. Elder Bednar started out by saying, "We have a weird tradition in the church of going to meetings, listening to people speak, and taking notes...do you ever use those notes? Or two or three weeks after the meeting, can you even find those notes?" Of course this made everbody laugh, and then he told us that we would have a question and answer meeting; and any notes we did take should be things that were taught to us by the Spirit. I don't remember a lot of the questions that were asked, or even his answers, but I do remember so distinctly the answers that the Spirit gave to me. They were so powerful and brought me to tears. They were things I didn't even know that I was wondering about. But once I received the answers, I knew without a doubt that my Father in Heaven was aware of me and knew exactly what I needed to know at this point in my life. The things I received were amazing, and very personal. And the only people who could have known anything about them was myself and God. I am so grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who loves me. May all of you know that also for yourself is my prayer. Thank you for your time and have a wonderful evening.
