Elder Bednar

This weekend my ward has Stake Conference.  We had the amazing opportunity to hear Elder Bednar speak to us.  During the Saturday Session he spoke on the power of the strength of God.  He made the whole congregation a promise.  He invited all of us to read through the Book of Mormon and mark every time it states "In the Strength of the Lord" or something to that effect.  Elder Bednar gave us an apostolic promise that if we truly studied these instances int he Book of Mormon we would feel the strength of the Lord in our personal lives.  The power behind his words struck the whole congregation.  I know that Elder Bednar is a man of God and holds the Priesthood keys in our dispensation.  I am so thankful for the opportunity I had to shake his hand and feel of his power.    


On a side note everybody thinks that my dad looks like Elder Bednar....you be the judge.
