Favorite Conference Talks
It looks as if we will hear a lot about Bednar, after tender mercies talk and now the seek not to be offended talk, he is fast becoming a favorite.
I miss Elder Maxwell, as I loved the nuances of his talks, or at least his use of language. Elder Oaks is now my favorite. I like Elder Oaks talk on patience, the Seventy, not the Apostle. Others?

Henry B. and his talk on procrastination. I was young still when BRM gave his final conference talk, but I found a tape of it and his testimony is something I'll never forget.

I liked Elder Ballard's talk this go around. He was good in April too.

He was the last Apostle I heard speak at the MTC before going to Italy. He got us fired up to get out there.

I enjoyed Elder Holland's talk, I thought it was pretty powerful. Many of the talks this year were very specific...sometimes we don't see that in conference, it was a nice change, IMO and there were a number of things that needed to be said that were said.
I also enjoyed Bednar's talk, as well as President Hinckley's "Set the Record straight on my health talk..." I guess those that were saying he refused treatment were mistaken.
