At the feet of an apostle

So there was a big football game on Saturday night! TCU vs BYU! Both of which are in the top 25 and are fighting for the conference championship! Well, we also had Stake Conference and the adult session was scheduled during the game. Bummerola! There really wasn't a decision to be made. We knew exactly where we needed to be, but what made it even less of a decision was that Elder Robert D. Hales would be there! An apostle!

We were able to sit on the second row with my in-laws, who are in our stake. The spirit was amazing! Elder Hales had no notes with him. He just spoke, told stories, and shared the doctrine for an hour! His little alarm went off, letting him know he needed to be done. He turned to our stake president, and asked it he could keep going... Of course! He said he didn't want to stop, the Spirit was so strong. He said as a member of the Church he would NEVER miss this meeting (the adult session of stake conference) because it is here you can learn the most. It is here he can teach the most! I am excited to go through my notes again. There are so many things I starred, things I need to do or work on! When the meeting was over, we stood, watching and observing, still filled with the Spirit. We weren't really waiting for him to shake our hands, but as he was leaving, he leaned over, looked Nic and I in the eyes, said hello and shook our hands. The Spirit radiated from him! It was amazing and a moment I will not forget.

I know we have prophets and apostles on the earth today! I know Elder Hales is one of them. I know the Spirit is real and testifies of truth. I know we have that truth along with modern day revelation in the Church! Wow! Wow! Wow!

P.S. BYU lost 38 to 7.
