1. Who were your three favorite speakers? Pres Monson, Pres. Uchtdorf, Pres. Packer
2. Which talk spoke to you the most? Elder Hales
3. What was your favorite Hymn and why did it move you? Families Can Be Together Forever--it is one of my favorites; gives me the assurance that I will be able to raise my son in the next life
4. Which speaker was the best dressed? (Come on, we can have a little fun.) I like ties...and I liked all of their ties.
5. Were there any topics that you felt like were repeated often? Any conference “themes”? Not sure I noticed a theme among the talks this conference; but what i did notice is that Pres. Uchtdorf's remarks at the RS Conference and his talk at General Conference were very similar...and that is the sincere love Heavenly Father has for each of us.
