While Sister Wu (Hong Kong) played sacred hymns on the piano everyone sat reverently waiting for Apostle Jeffrey R. Holland to join us in our Relief Society this morning. Everyone arose from bed earlier so we could be in our seats in Theater 1 at SVC, at 6:45am.
Elder Holland extended his love to us by having each one of us file past him so he could shake our hand as we told him our name and where we were from. He later told us that he didn’t do that so he could learn our name or try to remember where we were from, but it was a quick interview to look into our eyes and feel of our spirit. As we each filed past him Sister Wu continued her quiet playing that added to the spirit of the meeting. Elder Holland thanked us for our service and went on to teach us about the Book of Mormon and why it is the keystone of our religion. It was wonderful to learn from the teachings of an apostle.
