lder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles was announced to be the primary speaker for this ing week's devotional by Henry ng, advancement vice president of J-Idaho, at a devotional address on day Sept. 15. Kevin Miyasaki, Student Services an d Activities vice president, said the 'General Authorities are assigned to come to speak at different times throughout the year, but that having a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles is something more rare. “We usually get two General thorities a semester, and when it is a member of the First Presidency or Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, it’s a special treat for our devotionals,” Miyasaki said. Miyasaki said he thought it was important for students, especially new students, to get into the habit of going to devotionals and making it an integral part of their experience at BYU-I. He said the school has found that the students themselves are the best way to inspire each other to attend devotionals each week. “We strongly believe that devotional is a time for students to devote their time to leave the things behind of the outside world and be instructed by

the Lord, especially through the Spirit coming from the words of our speakers,” Miyasaki said. Chelsea Soileau, a freshman studying psychology, said she is really excited about Elder Hollands coming because this is only her second devotional at BYU-Idaho. Soileau also said that to her, this was one of the benefits of attending school here. “I am excited to feel the spirit that [Elder] Jeffrey R. Holland brings, and I hope that it inspires freshmen to want to come to all the devotionals,” Soileau said. Miyasaki said one of the interesting aspects of devotional speakers is that they are not assigned topics, yet in most cases, whatever the topic is, it has the ability to help the students listening. “They can be touched by the Lord, by every address, and even though the talk may be on a certain subject or topic, the listener may get something totally different out of it according to their specific needs,” Miyasaki said. Carly Briggs, a freshman studying general studies, said she has gained much from going to devotionals, and that it is important to encourage friends and roommates to come to devotionals so they can have that experience. “If you go to devotional, you come away feeling happier and renewed, kind of like church,” said Briggs. “I th in k ... encouraging friends and roommates to go and telling them about your experiences will help them want to go.”
