Feb 20 - Elder Clark

Today we had Elder Clark come to our Ward Council meeting.  It was great having him come, but a little scary, as he is the President of BYU-Idaho and our Area Authority.  But it was a wonderful experience.   He did not say much during the meeting, just watched and listened.  At the end he shared three scriptures with us on the purpose of Ward Council meetings.  It was a great learning experience and he had great things to say about our meeting.  These are the scriptures he shared ...

Jacob 5:60, 70-72
D&c 43:8-9
D&C 29:4-7

It was the second time we have had Elder Clark come to our ward.  The first time he came to a sacrament meeting (that I happened to be conducting).  It was great sacrament meeting.  We went through our normal program, and at the end I asked him to share a few words, but he wanted to first hear from the Stake President and then he shared his testimony.  I had a few days notice, so I gave warning to our speakers to not take up too much time.  They at first were very happy, but when they found out the reason why they need to take less time, they wanted to know if it was too late to get new speakers.

Anyway, below is a picture of him from the LDS web site.  This will have to be the picture for today.
