I found tonight's meeting inspiring. Elder Uchtdorf's talk in particular was very moving.

There were specific words of praise in most of the talks, but I remember President Monson's best. Paraphrasing:

Truly you are a royal priesthood. Your devotion to your calling is inspiring. The purity of your souls brings heaven closer to you and your families.
