This weekend, I had the wonderful opportunity to listen to and watch the 179th Semiannual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As a practicing Latter-day Saint, it’s very refreshing to have a sort of pick-me-up every six months, to hear the words of God through His chosen servants. The counsel and guidance they provide is literally scripture. What a wonderful gift.
Although all of the speakers brought valuable information to share and were very inspirational, there were two parts that touched me most.
First, the beautiful arrangement of “O Divine Redeemer” by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. This is the kind of music that makes me feel like my heart is on fire…in a good way.
Immediately following this song was Elder Jeffrey R. Holland’s talk on the Book of Mormon. His testimony of the Book of Mormon was so powerful and struck a chord with me. I only hope that one day, I can be so bold in my belief in God and be able to share it with others.
