Solemn Assembly

When General Conference began Saturday morning, I had forgotten that the special Solemn Assembly would take place as we sustained a new prophet.  I couldn't remember when it had taken place for President Hinckley, so I didn't know what to expect.  But, I was truly taken aback at how powerful it was to me, to be able to stand with millions of other women at that moment and raise my arm to the square in support and favor of Thomas S. Monson as the next prophet, seer and revelator for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  It was a powerful testimony to me that President Monson is the Lord's prophet today.  I was grateful to hear the apostles' comments on the Solemn Assembly and to hear them speak their own testimonies of the calling of President Monson.  It also seemed to me that many of the speakers used quotes from President Monson in their talks.  Maybe it was coincidental, maybe it was to give all of us another witness to the divinity of his calling.

The things I enjoyed most about my day:
