Since I have nothing else to do, and can't get up off the couch I am going to do what I did this time last year and do our top ten moments of 2008. Also, since we had to reformat our hard drive, I don't have very many pictures on the computer right now so I may write everything out and then add pictures.
*for those that don't know, I had my appendix removed early Saturday morning after being in the emergency room for several hours. All is well. I am just VERY, VERY sore.*

President Hinkleys Testimony:
Now, in conclusion, I hope that all of you will remember that on this Sabbath day you heard me bear my witness that this is God's holy work. The vision given the Prophet Joseph in the grove of Palmyra was not an imaginary thing. It was real. It occurred in the broad light of day. Both the Father and the Son spoke to the boy. He saw Them standing in the air above him. He heard Their voices. He gave heed to Their instruction.
It was the resurrected Lord who was introduced by His Father, the great God of the universe. For the first time in recorded history, both the Father and the Son appeared together to part the curtains and open this, the last and final dispensation, the dispensation of the fulness of times.
The Book of Mormon is all that it purports to be—a work recorded by prophets who lived anciently and whose words have come forth "to the convincing of the Jew and Gentile that Jesus is the Christ, the Eternal God, manifesting himself unto all nations"
The priesthood has been restored under the hands of John the Baptist and Peter, James, and John. All the keys and authority pertaining to eternal life are exercised in this Church.
Joseph Smith was and is a prophet, the great Prophet of this dispensation. This Church, which carries the name of the Redeemer, is true.
I leave you my testimony, my witness, and my love for each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen."

I'm sorry to hear that you had to have your appendix out. I hope you get feeling better soon!
So sorry! Hope your recovery is speedy. :)
Sorry about the appendix, that is awful, but hopefully you'll feel better soon. Where did you find President Hickley's testimony?
Such a huge memory for our generation. I remember the conference session when he bore that testimony. Hope you get feeling better soon.
