The First Presidency Message


I had the amazing opportunity to go the the First President Christmas Devotional tonight. It was an unbelievable experience.

Once I got to my appropriate seat, I began chatting with the people around me. It was then that the Prophet walked in. It is easily my favorite part. It goes dead silent, and everyone stands in respect. I think we we see our Savior again, we will have a smilier reaction except we will kneel.

Today's devotional was amazing. The stage set up was absolutely gorgeous, decorated with Christas decorations, the choir was amazing (I wish we could have had another hour just listening to them), and the speakers did an amazing job.

I think my favorite thing that was said was when President Uchtdorf said, "God does not often expect us to move mountains, but to move ourselves. Day by day, step by step."

As I reflected on this, I thought of our job as member of the Church to progress everyday...

After watching this, I have determined that I do not know how any person could sit and watch three men share their testimony in such a powerful way, and not know the church is true.

  1. I enjoyed it as well. I thought the movie was a nice touch. President Monson is a stud. Great story teller.

  2. I liked the movie a lot as well, and I kept thinking I was going to see Fillipe from class.
