something for everyone (and plenty for me!)

this weekend has been phenomenal.  yes, it would have been great to be at temple square for conference but, watching it online, i was still able to listen to some incredible talks that have left me refreshed and recommitted in faith and hope.

the talks that especially stood out to me (i had initially hoped to have a short list of just three or four, but i can't really list any of these as anything less than "words given for me"):

• elder nelson's talk on effective prayer
• elder oaks's talk on the power of righteous desires
• elder snow's talk on hope
• elder johnson's talk on enduring afflictions
• elder scott's talk on the joy of love between a husband and wife
• elder christofferson's talk on the trials and challenges God gives us to help us become who he wants us to be.

and i found elder holland's talk to be rather unique in a way i can't quite describe, but i loved it just the same.

i'm already anticipating reading them and listening to them again.

bring on the next six months.  : D
