Newly called General Authority Seventy Elder Clark G. Gilbert still remembers the first time he received a testimony of the restored Church. He was a high school student about to run a track race in Scottsdale, Arizona, an area with a good number of Latter-day Saints, when he spotted a familiar face.
“I was at a track meet way across the valley, and I was stretching my tight hamstrings and listening to some highly motivational music getting ready to run my race,” Elder Gilbert recalls over three decades later. “I looked across the track and I saw Brother Butler [my Young Men leader] standing there. And the Spirit said, ‘This Church is true or there’s no way he would be here at your track meet.’”
