Elder Bednar at BYU-I Education Week: Follow the prophets

The themes of testing, sifting, preparing and the observation and following of apostolic leaders in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were recurring messages by Elder David A. Bednar during a devotional address on Friday.

The member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles was in Rexburg with his wife, Susan, who spoke briefly to several thousand people on the Brigham Young University-Idaho campus, as part of the university’s Education Week.

Much of Bednar’s message revolved around LDS historical accounts of Zion’s Camp, a Mormon military expedition organized by the church’s founder Joseph Smith to protect church members in Jackson County, Mo., during the 1830s.
