I really enjoyed Elder Ballard’s talk, especially when he talked about his grandfather.

And I loved President Monson talking about the families in Canada, my family were Baptised in Toronto in the early 1970s so we were there when Elder Ballard was President.

I enjoyed all the When Sister Gibb started talking my 5 year old popped up from his coloring book for a moment and said, ‘that lady smiles too much!’ However, I loved her message.

My daughter said when the prophet was speaking she could feel her heart burning. Loved that!

It made me think about my own faith (or lack thereof) and how I can change my attitude to prayer. President Monson is hilarious! I loved how he said “more temples are coming (pause), but I won’t reveal more”. He has a wonderful spirit. I liked the gyst of Sister Gibb’s talk and what she was getting at, but the sing-song voice and the overly dramatic presentation kind of made me cringe. Overall, though, I thought it was a wonderfully spiritual day.

I very much enjoyed the conference and especially Sis Gibb’s talk.
