Best Quotes from Conference

We have felt an incredible outpouring of the spirit in our home over the past two days due to our participation in General Conference.  I have boatloads of thoughts and things to share, but I thought I would kick it all off with my favorite quotes or one-liners from conference.  These messages not only were delivered with clarity and power, but they confirmed truth and whispered peace to my heart.  So, without further ado:

This is just a taste-test of the spiritual feast that is available to us through General Conference.  I have a testimony that these men truly are prophets and apostles of God.  He speaks through Him and we are blessed when we listen.
