Church leaders at Inauguration and National Prayer Service

January 22, 2009

I’m sure you’ve seen many reports about this, but President Uchtdorf and Elder Ballard represented the Church at the Inauguration of Barack Obama. They stayed over, and were there for the National Prayer Service as well. The Church Newsroom posted a couple of pictures, and the Deseret News covered it as well:

President Uchtdorf was very kind in his comments:

It was inspiring to be an eyewitness to this peaceful, impressive, transfer of power and the swearing-in of the first African American president. We pray for President Barack Obama’s success in these challenging times and join in his expressions of hope and optimism.

It was interesting seeing the nice picture of President Uchtdorf and Elder Ballard. Here were two Apostles of the Lord, standing in a crowd of over a million people. Probably very few knew who they were, and even fewer knew of their authority and calling.
