Today when we got into sacrament meeting Bret noticed right away a familiar face in the congregation. I would never have known who this person was, but since Bret had been on the same flight as her his last trip the U.S.A he would of course recognize her. Sister Oaks was in our congregation today! The wife of an apostle. During Relief Society all the visiting sisters were asked to introduce themselves. She, as well as sister Cook (also visiting) stood up and just gave their names, no mention of who they were married to, and where they were from. Now maybe it was because they have visited here so often that nobody seemed surprised they were in RS. The thing that stood out the most to me was just how unpretentious they both were. They made normal comments during the lesson, they were sweet and friendly to all the sisters and they didn't feel the need to tag onto their introduction that they were the wives of apostles. I was moved and humbled.
The lesson itself was very good as the sister presenting it was well prepared. There were no new revelations (oddly enough that is what the lesson was about) that came to me, rather a sweet witness of many of the times I had personal revelation in my life. Times when I was looking for guidance, times when I needed to have comfort, times when I wanted to know truth. I am so grateful that revelation happens to all who are seeking for it, especially for the revelation our prophet receives for all of us in this church. We are indeed blessed to know this truth.
