Our ward was fortunate enough to be able to have family home evening with the president of the school and his wife (Kim and Sue Clark). This was announced then we were told that since President Henry B. Eyring was at BYUI for the week to speak at the weekly devotional, he and his wife would also be joining us! The ward was excited after all it was only our ward and President Clark and President Eyring! The activity was just to ask questions and they would answer. It was such a great experience! President Erying is such a funny man!
Then on Tuesday Eyring was the scheduled devotional speaker. The Hart auditorium was packed! We had to go an hour and a half early to get a seat. He talked about BYUI and how it is The Lords University. His talk was about how we are so blessed that "the college on the hill" became "the university and temple on the hill". He told us that when he was in charge of buying the land for temple sights that Rexburg Idaho was never on any of the possible lists. He then told us that this great work was not by the work of any man that it was of the Lord.
I'm so happy that I have been able to have these experiences this week. It has been the greatest blessing!
