Top 10 Talks We Liked From General Conference

This week's top ten is attributed to General Conference last weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed all sessions and there was a lot of good counsel and advice. Here are a few of the talks that really impressed us. They are not in any specific order of importance!

1. Elder Scott – We loved his talk about Spiritual Communication. We both felt we could always use more personal inspiration!
2. President Uchtdorf – LOVE is definitely a trait we need to have to be true disciples of Christ!
3. Elder Bednar – It’s always important to be “more diligent and concerned at home!”
4. Elder Watson – We both want to study TEMPERENCE because of this talk!
5. President Eyring – “I’m Trying to Be Like Jesus” is definitely one of our favorite children’s songs… and the message of continuing to improve is timeless.
6. Bishop Burton – All virtues are something we are admonished to emulate. But we loved how he described the “ITY” Virtues. (Especially Integrity!)
7. Elder Holland – He truly testified of the divinity and truth of the Book of Mormon. He was bold in his testimony as we should be!
8. Elder Renlund – His analogy of the ultimate operation is a spiritual operation being a mighty change of heart really hit home for us!
9. Elder Christofferson – Moral discipline is something we have felt strongly about in teaching our beautiful daughters! We loved his admonishment to “Not be neutral about the gospel – educate our children!”
10. President Monson – Our beloved prophet, spoke about service! The question “What did you do for someone today?” should guide our lives.
