General Conferencing

President Uchtdorf’s talk was an all timer. I look forward to many pleasant Sundays cooking dinner with that talk on. He expressed what is in my soul.

Brother Brik Eyre also said things that hit home. His advice for prayer is something I can put into action. I was moved by his reflections on the change in the temple interview.

I’ve enjoyed all the arrangements of the new hymns, they are so lovely! And Elder Rasband’s talk on The Family: A Proclamation to the World was outstanding. I hope it puts to rest any questions people had.
Elder Kearon reminding us that this is not only the Church of Joy but the Church of Second Chances. (I’ve long thought of the church as The Hospital of Jesus Christ for Latter-day Sinners, but that’s just me.)
Sister Dennis’s wonderful talk about belonging spoke to my heart. All of the talks were great. Looking forward to Sunday!

Thanks, Rozy.

Am I hallucinating, or was the last hymn the Sweet Bye n Bye with different words?

@ G,
Yes, it is! That’s what my mom used to sing when she grew up Methodist.

I knew it!

Oh How Great is Our Joy is a translation of the Spanish-language hym Placentero Nos Es Trabajar. The translation is serviceable, but I think some sweet secondary meanings didn’t survive translation. But this is one of my favorite hymns. I am excited it will be shared outside of the Spanish hymnal.

If you are not already familiar with the story behind Placentero Nos Es Trabajar, you should look it up. You’d like it.
