Edler Scott really touched me when he spoke. He really detailed excellent points for spirituality and morality that resonated for me personally. The part about being loyal to wives mentally was so jarring but so true. Beautiful. When is the next general conference?

Elder Cook

We are not going to suffer more than that which is for our good
Some trials are suites for our own personal development
Not every cloud has rain
We would be well to prepare for our challenges We need to be grateful for all our blessings especially during affluent times

Elder Gavarret

Called in April. Sounds just like Pedro Sanchez.

Our house. Our home. Our refuge.
1,700 families returned to church in Peru: in 14 stakes and 4 districts
Dear to the heart of the shepherd

Elder Nelson

Wise shoppers study their options to buy quality and price
Those wishing should do the same
The noblest yearning for the human heart is for a marriage that endures for a marriage that endures forever
Esteem spouse's welfare among our highest priorities
Adversary's options a;ways breed misery
Celestial marriage is the pivotal practise to prepare for eternal life

President Packer spoke on pioneers. Wore a mic even though he was standing. That was weird.

President Monson

45 years since he was called as an apostle
No tomorrows to remember if we don't do something today
Rather than dwelling in the past, we should be doing more here and now.
What is most important almost always involve those around us.

What would I say in only 25 words?

Elder Ballard

1 million members in Mexico 4 years ago
in 1925, missionary work started in South America
200,000 missionaries served under President Kimball; church doubled as well
Church has doubled since President Kimball's death
1 millionth missionary called last year
the Lord is asking us to fortify our faith, not push a handcart; cross the street, not the country
We cannot afford to be superficially righteous
