Perhaps you already know (but if you don't you should) that with rare exception, no man or woman who speaks here is assigned a topic. Each is to fast and pray, study and seek, start and stop and start again until he or she is confident that for this conference, at this time, his or hers is the topic the Lord wishes that speaker to present regardless of personal wishes or private preferences. Every man and woman you have heard during the past 10 hours of general conference has tried to be true to that prompting. Each has wept, worried, and earnestly sought the Lord's direction to guide his or her thoughts and expression. … My Brethren and sisters among the general officers of the Church [are] mortal messengers with angelic messages, … who with faith have consecrated their lives to the callings that have come to them and the duty to preach God's word, not their own.
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
The music especially touched me. When the choir sang one closing hymn, "More Holiness Give Me," I knew that Heavenly Father will help me as I try daily to become more like Christ. I know that the messages (through both music and word) were inspired.

I enjoyed general conference because of the Spirit I felt when watching it. I had many questions coming into the weekend, and one by one they were answered. I am grateful for the opportunity to listen and learn from our prophet and all of his counselors. Because of their diligence in preparing their talks and listening to the Spirit, my questions were answered.

This past conference was very spiritual for me. As I took notes I felt more enlightened and found new things to work on to become more like my Savior. I cannot wait to begin changing, become better, give more service to others, and try to make this world a better place. I feel more motivated to share the gospel.

The messages in this conference reminded me of how important our families are and how precious our time with them is. They also made me realize the importance of service to others, within and outside of our families.

I liked how Elder L. Tom Perry talked about the Sabbath day. It reminded me of how important it is to keep the Sabbath day holy and to do my priesthood duties every week.

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland talked about how conference topics are chosen by the Spirit and some apply specifically to each of us. I know that one talk especially applied to me and a challenge I am going through. I know it will help me. Some people may get tired of hearing the same lessons or advice over and over again, but sometimes we need that extra time to really dedicate ourselves to try harder.

I found conference very spiritually uplifting. I learned many things, including the importance of calling ourselves "Latter-day Saints" instead of "Mormons," which I know I will apply in my daily life. I am very glad I have the gospel in my life and that it was restored through Joseph Smith. I would like to apply every bit of wisdom I heard into my life as much as I can.
