• Today we celebrated the 175th Anniversary of the restoration of the priesthood. What a marvelous thing to celebrate. There was a broadcast today in which I learned many fascinating things about the Priesthood ministry. I enjoyed learning about the “Kingdom of Priest” that Moses refered to; that foreseen kingdom has now existed 175 years. As I heard President Hinckley speak specifically about the Aaronic Priesthood, which I hold, I was deeply moved by the sincerity, energy, and passion he held for the Priests. He struck a tender chord in me when he expounded on the rights to the ministry of angels that Aaronic Priesthood bearers hold. I have a strong testimony of that right. It is something that I have thought a lot about, something that has been emphasized to me personally through personal blessings and experiences.

  I procaim boldly that angels are real, literal messengers of God. I bear witness of their influence and protecting powers here on Earth both seen and unseen. The ministring of angels is one of the most beautiful, sacred powers of this world. I will be forever grateful to it, and I pray that I will be worthy of it. It is more precious to me than any wordly knoweledge, than any possesion, any car, any talent, any art show, any prom, any thing no matter how wonderful, beautiful, enjoyable, or significant. I believe that Gordon B. Hinckley is a prophet of God, and I am grateful for his words today.
