This activity goes along with day thirteen of The Living Christ: An Easter Countdown.
Our activity today involved listening to and watching videos of the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles bear their “Special Witnesses of Christ.” If you click on the title next to each picture on that page it will open a new window containing a short video (usually around three minutes) of that apostle bearing his testimony.
You can also watch this new video created this year (2019) of the Apostles reciting parts of The Living Christ.
We also read the testimonies of two past apostles.
Elder Bruce R. McConkie (gave a powerful testimony in what he knew was his last General Conference as he was deathly ill. The Purifying Power of Gethsemane is worth reading over and over again. The video is Elder McConkie giving this final address. It is about 10 minutes long so it may take a while to load but please watch it!
Elder David B. Haight shared a beautiful vision of the Savior that he had in his October 1989 General Conference address, “The Sacrament – and the Sacrifice.”
Oh how I loved this talk. It touched me to the core of my soul.
I hadn’t remembered him looking so thin and ill.
Have you ever read his biography? It is wonderful and inspiring.
Love this talk. One of my all time favorites!
Thank you SO much for sharing that video. I have heard of Elder McConkie’s last testimony for as far back as I can remember, but I’ve never read it or watched it. Absolutely beautiful!
