Bruce R. McConkie spent his life coming to know Jesus Christ. Two weeks before he passed away, Elder McConkie offered his final testimony of the Savior. Given April 6th, 1985, Elder McConkie's last testimony is wonderful and stirring. The following video contains the third part of Elder McConkie's final testimony. The first two parts can be found below as well as text for the entire address.
And as pertaining to Jesus Christ, I testify that he is the Son of the Living God and was crucified for the sins of the world... This I know of myself independent of any other person.

The difficulties we face in life are overwhelming at times. In such circumstances, it can be easy to forget that a merciful and loving Heavenly Father watches over us. David A. Bednar reminds us that during these times the tender mercies of the Lord are still manifest.
I testify that the tender mercies of the Lord are available to all of us... Our desires, faithfulness, and obedience invite and help us to discern His mercies in our lives.
As the happy father of a beautiful brand new baby girl I have much to be thankful for. I appreciate Elder Bednar's encouragement to recognize, remember, and acknowledge the Lord's tender mercies in my life.

Though Come Thou Fountis not contained in the Church’s Official Hymnbook, Latter-day Saints have long had a love affair with the protestant hymn. The superb lyrics, written by Baptist minister Robert Robinson, speak of Christ mercifully reclaiming the wandering soul.This beautiful rendition, arranged and conducted by Mack Wilberg, was sung by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir during the Church's General Conference March 31, 2007.
Jesus sought me when a stranger, Wandering from the fold of God; He, to rescue me from danger, Interposed His precious blood.

Two years before concluding an eight year battle with Leukemia, Neal A. Maxwell addressed the Church on the subject of consecration. The address, given at the April General Conference 2002, hints at the vast wisdom Elder Maxwell gained during his lifetime of discipleship.
The best way to valiantly testify of Jesus is to become steadily more like Him...In striving for ultimate submission, our wills constitute all we really have to give God anyway. The usual gifts and their derivatives we give to Him could be stamped justifiably "Return to Sender," with a capital S.
President Gordon B. Hinckley said of Elder Maxwell, “I know of no other man who spoke in such an interesting and distinct manner. His genius was the product of diligence. He was a perfectionist determined to exact from every phrase and sentence vivid imagery that brought the gospel to life...I think we shall not see one like him again.”

In the spring of 1820, Joseph Smith, a 14-year-old farm boy, found himself surrounded by countless views on who God was and how He was to be worshiped. Looking for answers, Joseph stumbled upon the following verse in James, chapter 1 verse 5:
5If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Joseph believed in James' words and decided he would pray to God to know which church he should join. The following video from Mormon.org depicts his remarkable experience.
