I recently celebrated my 99th birthday and thus commenced my 100th year of living.
I pray that the Spirit will carry my message into your hearts today.
So, while I have delivered more than 100 general conference addresses standing, today I thought I would do so sitting. Three weeks ago, I injured the muscles of my back. At my age, each new day brings wonderful as well as challenging surprises. My dear brothers and sisters, I am deeply grateful to speak with you today.
