Since I've moved out to Roseville, CA, I've had two meetings with members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles presiding. A few weeks ago - Elder Andersen came to the Roseville Stake (of which the Roseville YSA ward belongs) for a special stake conference of sorts. And just two days ago, Elder Oaks came to do a YSA fireside for all the single kiddos in the region. He came with the Presiding Bishop, Bishop Stevenson. We've had a stacked deck out here for speakers.
While I should have taken better notes during the Elder Andersen meeting, I was on uncle duty, and mostly my notebook was filled with outlines of small hands and drawings of random animals and trucks. For the YSA fireside, however, I did take some notes - and I figured I'd post them here for whoever may be interested. The quotes that I have here are as I best remembered as I wrote my notes - there may be slight discrepancies.
