Testimony of President Gordon B. Hinckley

"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 fullness 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" (Book of Mormon title page).
"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."

We Love LEVI

This December we lost one of our favorite cousins to cancer. Levi fought a great battle and was such a great example to us all. Before he passed away he completed two amazing goals. First, Levi received his endowments in the Bountiful Temple. What a truly sweet experience to be part of. Then, in October, he took a last trip to South Africa to visit Victoria Falls (with this trip he visited all 7 continents on one passport - all with his mother as his companion) to the worlds tallest bungie jump. He was to weak in the end to jump so his friend Gavin took the plunge for him (Levi had already done the 2nd highest jump in the world while in New Zeland and wanted to do the largest himself). It was truly a Miracle that Levi was able to spend the last part of his life with his loving family on an African Safari.. We all kept updated on his trip by visiting his blog (http://www.levistrong.blogspot.com/) to live every moment we could... We are so amazed at how well he did. What a wonderful Mother and Father he has who cared so lovingly for him every day of his life and through out his illness. Thanks to Sy and Ron for the example of love and compassion you have shown to us all. We love all the Snarr family so much and will miss LEVI.. He is off to serve as a Mission Companion with his older brother ZACH.. We love you Guys.... Until we meet again....
