Do You Remember Me?

Today was stake conference, and we had the opportunity to hear from Elder and Sister Choi. They are such wonderful people, and even held a special meeting for the 12-18 year old kids before the regular meeting.
Both of their talks were moving, but I was especially touched by Sister Choi's where she began by asking us, "Do you remember meeting me? We've met before."
I could see where she was going with this...
"We met before we were born, in heaven. There was a great battle with the 1/3 against the other 2/3. Can you guess which side you fought on? Yes, you youth were on the front line of the 2/3. You fought on the Lord's side. And what did you fight with? A rifle? Dynamite? No, you fought with your testimony. You were so special that Heavenly Father took you aside and saved you for 6,000 years so that you could come to the earth to prepare the world for the Second Coming."

Of course, I'm paraphrasing most of what she said, but her words were so powerful because of the confirmation that the Holy Ghost gave me. She said that someone (and I feel bad, but I forget who said it) declared that the leaders should not teach the youth, for the youth already know everything, but instead teachers need to remind them.

How great is our divine worth! That our Father in Heaven would save us until these last days to continue the battle against wickedness with the same weapon we used in heaven--our testimony.
