David A. Bednar is a current member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Image:David A Bednar.jpg David Allen Bednar was born June 15, 1952. He grew up with a mother who was strong in the Church and a father who was not a member but faithfully went to Church with his family and joined in Church functions. Throughout his youth, and even from the mission field, Elder Bednar would ask his father when he was going to be baptized. The answer that always came back was that he would join this Church when he knew that it was the right thing for him to do. Years later, after Elder Bednar’s mission and after he was married and living far away from home, his father called on a Wednesday to ask if he could be in California by Saturday to baptize him.
