    That Night in Philadelphia - A Sacred Memory: A Testimony of Jesus Christ

    Ten years ago, I met Elder D. Todd Christofferson when he visited the Philadelphia area. That evening, I was asked to give the closing prayer—and afterward, invited to be the first to shake his hand. It was a sacred experience that touched my heart in ways I couldn’t fully express. So later that night, I sat down and recorded my thoughts—just me, my voice, and the Spirit I still felt. A decade later, with the calling of our new First Presidency—President Dallin H. Oaks, President Henry B. Eyring, and President D. Todd Christofferson—I felt prompted to revisit that recording and share it publicly for the first time. In this special episode, I take you behind the scenes of that night in Philadelphia, share my original 2015 audio, and reflect on how the Lord continues to guide, prepare, and remind us of His love in deeply personal ways. ✨ Listen in for: • The sacred story behind my encounter with Elder Christofferson • My original 2015 audio recording (unedited in spirit) • Reflections on how testimonies deepen over time • A message of faith, remembrance, and divine timing 🎧 Listen to this special reflection on Heart-to-Heart with Abagaba, and join me on Facebook at “Testaments of Jesus Christ” for the full recording and continued reflections on faith and family.
