LDS.....general conference talks?

Question

I am LDS and was wondering what everyone's favorite talk from general conference was and why. I know that a lot of them applied directly to my life, and I don't really have a favorite. My favorite since joining the church could by How Firm a Foundation by Thomas S. Monson.

should be would be not could by....

Answer 1

I loved Elder Holland's talk [that's one that really stands out to me]. It just seems that conference gets better and better each time. Good to see the prophet looking so strong too. I'm really excited about President Eyring - I thought his talk was very interesting. And wasn't it Elder Packer that spoke on the testimony of apostles? And it seems the longer I ponder on it, the more come to mind. I must say, those who didn't see or hear the General Women's conference the week before really need to read or listen to it online. It was very touching [ok, I also loved the Gen RS Pres talk on good mothers].
Thanks for the question!

Answer 2

Mary N. Cook, the Young Women's second counselor, and the third speaker, gave a talk on studying, praying, tithing, and attending the meetings.

The Sunday morning speakers, in the order presented, were:
Henry D. Eyring, 2nd counselor to the First Presidency
Quentin L. Cook, new ordained apostle
Claudio R. M. Costa, Seventy
Julie B. Beck, Relief Society president
Christoffel Golden Jr., Seventy
David A. Bednar, Apostle
President Hinckley

Answer 3

I LOVED Henry B. Eyring's talk, especially when he talked about how the most blessed are the ones most likely to forget about the person behind their spiritual experiences. I don't know if it was in the talk or the press conference, but I loved when he said that he had always wanted to grow up and be like President Faust, and that he might be able to pull it off.
I enjoyed Joseph B. Wirthlin's talk, and I was on the verge of tears when Russell M. Nelson had to hold him up so that he wouldn't collapse. I couldn't believe that he made it through the whole talk.
Russel Nelson gives his talks really strongly, but I really liked when he talked about how the Bible and the Book of Mormon support each other.

Answer 4

I don't know that I had a favorite, maybe the one about how just because someone asks us for information about the church does not mean we should send missionaries. That was a really good talk.

I am sorry I don't remember who all the talks were, because most of the time I was listening to the TV- But there was one about us being Christians where he referenced the Council of Nicea (not Pres. Hinkley) and the Trinity. I liked that one too.

I wondered if they had been hanging out here because, many of their talks referenced mis-conceptions that people talk about on here all the time. I'm sure they have not been hanging out here.

Answer 5

Oh, I can't choose. Their are so many good ones. I have no idea. The talks were magnificent. my favorite all time talk at a conference was by Thomas S. Monson, "Teacher by Example". It was all about Joseph SMith and, well, how he taught by example. :)

Answer 6

I liked the one on the Saturday morning session(I think) that Joseph B. Wirthlin did. His talk was really good and encouraging. When he started shaking, I felt like crying. Russel M. Nelson came up and helped him stop shaking at least a little. Elder Wirthlin finished his talk. Most people wouldn't have. I admire him for that.

Answer 7

I really liked the talk by Jeffrey Holland this last conference. It was a straight forward, direct explanation of why Mormons are indeed Christians. he pulled no punches and said it like it is. I really loved this talk (and all of the ones he shares).

Answer 8

The talk "Women who Know" I think it was given by Sister Beck? I thought it was SO good, of course they all are... but I am pregnant right now and I feel as though I am a woman "who knows"... no I am not perfect, but I know the gospel is true and want to teach it to my children.
The most sad thing - I though Elder Wirthlin was going to bounce right off the stand. That was so nice of Elder Nelson to come hold him. Poor guy. His talk was good too.
I always love listening to Elder Holland. he's my fave

Answer 9

I liked the Priesthood session talk on raising the bar, by Bishop Edgely (I think). It was about not being satisfied with meeting minimal requirements. We should, instead, continue to improve and find out our potential.

Answer 10
