We spent the weekend at my parent's house, in part to go to Stake Conference with them. We got to listen to (and shake hands with) Elder Oaks, who came to preside. It was interesting to hear him speak in a setting other than General Conference, since he has more formal speaking style in General Conference. He told a lot of stories to make his points and he made a point to shake as many hands as he could. It's always nice to hear an apostle speak and this was no exception. And it was especially nice to have Sydney recognize him from his picture. We had been showing her pictures of the apostles and telling her who they were and after he entered the chapel, we asked her who Elder Oaks was and she stood up and pointed right at him.(picture from LDS Newsroom)

That she was able to point him out was even more spectacular because Elder Oaks' brother is our Temple President and was sitting up on the stand too. They don't look exactly alike but there is quite a resemblance...especially as Elder Oaks said, the "shiny and clean" part.
Wow. A two year old can tell the difference between the temple president and the apostle! I couldn't! I was so cunfuzzled because I thought he was speaking twice!
