Holland’s talk in the afternoon session was absolutely AMAZING.
Absolutely! Best talk today.
I brought my family up from AZ to SLC to attend conference. We only had 2 tickets for the Priesthood Session and 3 tickets for tomorrow afternoon's session. Today, my wife, my son, and I stood in the standby lines. Hours in the freezing rain and we didn't get in either time. The sessions were packed. We caught the AM session in the Tabernacle, but it wasn't the same as being in the Conference Center (which is an AWESOME experience that I recommend to everyone.) We didn't get in the afternoon session and decided to go back to the hotel to pick up my girls and come back for Priesthood Session. The girls went with my wife to the Ladies Night event with Deseret Books that was held this year on the 9th Floor of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. They had a great time with mini-concerts, book signings, and some contests (they won a clock). The Priesthood Session was really great too. I love coming up here for General Conference. I was so blessed to be able to come up 3 years ago and had wonderful experience. This time is different, but also a spiritual experience.
I can't wait until the broadcasts are available for download. When they are up, I download them to my media player so that I can watch them whenever or wherever I am. Awesome stuff. We are so blessed to have a living Prophet and Apostles who give us counsel twice a year like this.
I stood up and CHEERED at the end of Elder Holland’s talk (I was in my basement, so I didn’t make a scene).
It was so refreshing to hear clear, true doctrine stated so brilliantly...something that some other denominations can only dream of.
Yes. There was no doubt in my mind about Christ when Elder Holland spoke. He spoke with authority and the Spirit. It was a very powerful experience.
