Perhaps it was this project (a 3ftx4ft paper mache' book) that Cache did in 7th grade that made Elder Christofferson's talk this past conference strike a chord with me, but then again, maybe not because it was a pretty amazing talk.
I loved the whole talk. . . but I loved his summation:
I suppose that never in history has a people been blessed with such a quantity of holy writ. And not only that, but every man, woman, and child may possess and study his or her own personal copy of these sacred texts, most in his or her own language. How incredible such a thing would have seemed to the people of William Tyndale’s day and to the Saints of earlier dispensations! Surely with this blessing the Lord is telling us that our need for constant recourse to the scriptures is greater than in any previous time. May we feast continuously on the words of Christ that will tell us all things we should do (see 2 Nephi 32:3).
Amen. Amen. Amen!

Was sooooo touched by Christofferson's retelling of Tyndale's story. Wow. In fact I just retold it to the Senior Primary on Sunday when we talked about The Restoration. So touching. LOVE the little book, AND that your little son had already singled him out as such a hero.
This talk made a big impression me too. How so very blessed we are. May I never forget!! !!
