Colette discussed many stories from the life of President David O. McKay and noted that the Church changed from one that looked to the past to one that looked to the future.
He was determined to change the chapel experience of those who joined the Church outside of Utah, directing that chapels and temples be built closer to their own homes around the world. So that they would grow where they were planted.
He also had an extraordinary personal secretary in Clare Middlemiss, regarded at the time as the most powerful woman in the Church. She protected President McKay and kept meticulous records of his thoughts in multiple volumes of books. She served in the otherwise male role for over 30 years.
Being Fast Sunday we also heard testimonies from Nanci, Alice and both Alisons.
