this weekend's Sacrament meeting was really special. it was like a testimony meeting except that members could get up and request their favorite hymn and verse. really cool. we got to sing all the greats! even a few christmas classics, always a favorite of mine. very powerful testimonies were spoken as people told why it was their favorite hymn. what a moving and powerful Sacrament meeting.
