A Rare and Wonderful Experience

Yesterday, at church, we meet the Apostle David A. Bednar.

His son was in our ward (they moved today) and he came for the blessing of his new granddaughter. He spoke for most of Sacrament meeting, bearing his testimony that Thomas S. Monson is the new prophet, and explaining how the church is organized at the top level.

Since it was the fifth Sunday, we had combined Relief Society and Priesthood meeting. He conducted a Q&A session for just our ward. He said we would never be in the presence of an Apostle with this small of a group again. Every question was answered beautifully, and the Spirit was very strong. The most powerful thing that struck me was "If you don't have the faith not to be healed, you can never have the faith to be healed."

Afterwards, Kenneth was standing behind Elder Bednar. He turned around and asked Kenneth his name. We got to shake his hand and I asked Elder Bednar if there was anything Kenneth could have for his picture book. He very discreetly handed Kenneth his card. It says:

David A. Bednar

Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

It has other things printed on there, but I'm sure he doesn't want it published on the web.

Kenneth immediately put it in his book and then called his grandparents.

What an amazing Sunday!
