Elder Scott and His Request

So I went to a stake conference yesterday (in my parent's stake, actually), and Elder Richard G. Scott was there. When he spoke, he said that he often likes to pull individuals out of the audience. He pulled out two young women and pretty much put them on the spot. He asked a few questions, many of them related to scripture study. The girls explained that they just can't go a night without studying the scriptures. And this isn't just reading the scriptures, it's studying them.

It was interesting to me. How is it to be put on the spot and be able to answer to well? It's because they've made scripture study a part of their lives. Could I answer just as confidently if an Apostle asked me? It reminded me of the importance to live the gospel 100%. Even if we don't have to answer to an Apostle in a stake conference, we will have to answer to the Savior at the day of judgment.
