I’ve enjoyed conference thus far.
I liked hearing Elder L. Tom Perry cite Pope Francis in conference, and hearing Elder D. Todd Christofferson cite the German Protestant martyr-theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer. My wife and I have also, apparently like Elder Christofferson, stood admiringly before those new sculptures of modern Christian martyrs on the front of Westminster Abbey.
I really liked Elder Wilford Andersen’s metaphor of music and the dance. Quite insightful and profound.
I was struck by the emphasis on family (as was the Christian Science Monitor, reporting on the morning session), but also by President Eyring’s words about service and humanitarian aid.
But those weren’t the only things. There’s much to digest, to reflect upon, and to inspire changes.
