As stated in the article he was out on a date with his wife Frances. How exciting it must’ve been to be in that arena, I know I would have been on cloud nine.
Wow,
I’m just about speechless. What a wonderful conference. It was such a special experience to sustain such a humble man of God in President Thomas S. Monson, Prophet, Seer, and Revelator. This was the first Solemn Assembly that I’d witnessed given that I’d joined The Church a couple months before President Hinckley became Prophet. I was preparing to get married during the last one.
I’d have to say that thing that stood out the most in my mind though was President Uchtdorf. Wow, what an awe inspiring man. His English skills as the Solemn Assembly was taking place, and as he called other General Authorities and Auxilaries of The Church. He just rolled those names off his tongue without much difficulty. I really love to hear him speak.
The other talks were great too, and I was so glad to hear Elder Scott tackle an issue that definitely needs to be discussed.
What things stood out to you?

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints released the new portrait of the newly named First Presidency.
I can’t wait to get a copy myself. I never changed out the picture on my wall of The First Presidency with President Hinckley, President Monson, and President Faust. I’ll just be twisting the frame around.
This talk given by President Monson on November 6, 2005 discusses a three step process to a destiny of happiness…I wish I could have heard it years ago at the age of the intended audience. This talk was given at a CES Fireside for Young Adults.
First: Choose Your Friends with Caution
Second: Plan Your Future with Purpose
Third: Frame Your Life with Faith
I liked the following quote contained in the talk:
Dare to be a Mormon;
Dare to stand alone.
Dare to have a purpose firm,
And dare to make it known.8
“With all my heart and the fervency of my soul, I lift up my voice in testimony as a special witness and declare that God does live. Jesus is His Son, the Only Begotten of the Father in the flesh. He is our Redeemer; He is our Mediator with the Father. He it was who died on the cross to atone for our sins. He became the firstfruits of the Resurrection. Because He died, all shall live again. ‘Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives: “I know that my Redeemer lives!” ’ May the whole world know it and live by that knowledge, I humbly pray, in the name of Jesus Christ, the Lord and Savior, amen.”
