A Great Day at BYU-Idaho

I've had some great experiences here at BYU-Idaho. Last week, Tom and I had another great experience. We were able to have lunch with none other than President and Sister Clark! President Clark is the president at BYU-Idaho, for those who don't know. And, it wasn't just with them, it was also with Bro. Merrill, who was the Sunday School President for the Church until last year. It was a wonderful experience, and I am so grateful we got to do that.

First, we got to the room where we were supposed to meet and waited with other students until President and Sister Clark, Bro. Merrill and other school officials showed up. Then we went next door and there was a big table with salads all laid out and name cards and everything to make us feel real special. We ate and we each took turns introducing ourselves.

After we finished our salads, a delicious main course of fish, brown rice and green beans. During the main course, each of us students were able to ask the Clark's and Bro. Merrill questions. We had a wonderful discussion about Church topics, including marriage and fidelity and the Atonement. It was so good. President and Sister Clark and Bro. Merrill were so cool! I really had no idea. They really made me want to make sure I'm always serving the Lord and building up His kingdom, just like they do.

After the meal, we were served peaches and cream. Yum! After we finished that, we walked to devotional and got to sit on the stage!

We had so much fun at our special devotional event. The best thing was that we usually wouldn't have been able to go because we have a class, but that day our class was cancelled. It was meant to be. A special thanks to our friend Mark Beck who was the organizer of the event and invited us to go. It was definitely a great day at BYU-Idaho.
