This was a really amazing conference. I think Brad's summary of it over at BCC is one of the best I've ever seen.

In his Priesthood Session address, Elder Uchdorf counselled,

Move close together and lift where you stand.

It seemed as memorable as anything I have heard in conference before.

The overall feeling I got from Conference this year (and the RS meeting) is that things are not going to be easy. Things are going to stay hard, be hard, keep getting hard, but if we have just enough faith, hope, charity, unity, and focus on Jesus Christ, then we will be okay. We’ll get through it. And not just “barely”, but happily! We just have to be strong and follow the commandments. In word, it’s actually quite simple. In action, it’s a tad tougher…

Man, I love Conference.

The opposite of charity isn’t hate… It is the failure to care.

That is a principle from President Uchtdorf’s first talk, and it will stick with me.

I realize that one can approach it differently. What I mean is that God often uses people to accomplish his errands. The odds against what happened to this man were overwhelmingly against him, but some think it’s mere coincidence.

The idea was that as we are in the service of others we can do the work of God.

When it was suggested that God’s hand was in it, he said nah, that was a man that came, no God.

So you think that instead of crediting the human who saved him with saving him, he should chalk it up to God or angels. Interesting theory. I hope you won't be offended if I ask you to consider the following humorous poem on the subject. ;)
