Jeffrey R Holland...


Such an amazing man. He came to our stake conference yesterday. Besides the prophet...he's definitely my favorite. He is such an amazing speaker. So powerful. He gave me chills and brought tears to my eyes multiple times. I wish every single member of this church could've been there. He gave our stake a personal blessing. It was an amazing thing to witness. I know I keep saying amazing a lot but that's the only way I know how to describe my feelings. I was in awe. Something that really hit me is when he said "I did NOT dedicate my life to a fairy tale." That hit me like you can't believe. Why would he, or any other apostle or prophet or any member of this church, dedicate their entire lives to a church that was not true? They wouldn't. I know for a fact this is the only true church on earth. I am so grateful and so incredibly blessed to have been born and raised in it. It terrifies me to think where I might be today had I not been born a member. I might not even be alive. This gospel has saved my life. It has brought so many wonderful people into my life. So many people who have impacted my life. It's because of them that I'm still around today. I wish I could go back in time to yesterday just to hear him speak all over again. Such an incredible man who loves truly loves this gospel and every member in it. I really wish Gabe could've been there. He deserves to have an experience like that. I know I will never forget that day...February 7, 2010. I know, without a doubt in my heart and mind, that this is the true church. Knowing that brings me such peace. But, I must be going to bed now. So goodbye for now...
