A few weeks ago, the ladies at exercise were all abuzz with the news that Elder Oaks would be visiting our stake for a special stake conference. The stake was busy spreading the word and preparations were made for a youth choir, nearly 150 strong. We held a FHE focusing on Elder Oaks and the significance of apostles.
We attended the special conference and the Spirit bore witness to me that Elder Clark and Elder Oaks have been called of God. How comforting it is to know that amidst the scandals and corruption of national governments, we have a living prophet, President Monson.
Elder Oaks guaranteed no 401K's or real estate values and certainly no easy future but he did urge us to trust the church leaders. Once again, the Spirit confirmed that these men are called and directed by God and that I can trust them.

When Elder Oaks came to our Stake Conference last year, I definitely felt the same way. It is a neat experience to witness these true servants of God in action!
I know I shouldn't have favorite apostles, but after going to shake his hand when I was little with Grandma P, and then after our stake conference, Elder Oaks is at the top of my list. Though I'm sure all 15 men called radiate that same love, warmth and kindness. It's so neat!
