Elder Bednar's story glorifying the HC is also weird. I understand his point but still felt uneasy about it.
I'm sure this is is probably a Mormon myth, but I heard that he once told a group of priesthoold leaders at BYU or some place something like "we belive in grace more than we let on, but we can't tell the members that or they wouldn't keep the commandments". Something like that.

I feel that from Elder Packer. At times you see his soft side but he won't show it much. He's like the coach who rode you like hell all season like an a-hole and then at the end he hugs you and tells you he loves you and says he did it for your own good.
