Elder David A. Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles held a devotional on Friday, March 7, 2025, in the John W. Hart Auditorium for four YSA stakes in the Rexburg area. Because this wasn't a typical devotional, Bednar introduced what he called his "magic iPad" and provided students with a phone number. With this number, students could submit questions to him, his wife, Sister Susan K. Bednar, Elder Steven R. Bangerter and Elder Bradley S. Bateman.

I’ve learned to never throw away an opportunity to try something new, even if it’s scary. Pushing myself out of my comfort zone has helped me become happier and create lasting memories. The sky was blue and the sun made the snowy mountains glimmer at the Alyeska Ski Resort in Girdwood, Alaska. The air felt crisp and cold as a light breeze blew in my direction. My family and I were learning to ski for the first time. We began our one-hour ski lesson taught by a young college student.
