Favorite LDS Conference Quotes

If you follow me on Twitter, you know this weekend my number of tweets exploded as this was a very special weekend for me as it was the semi-annual conference for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

I always love the conference talks, but wow this weekend, they were beyond incredible!  I can't wait until they are in print up so I can read them all again and again as I know I will continue to learn from every talk.  If you are interested you can already watch them all here and there will soon be links to read them too.

Here are just a few of my favorite quotes from the conference this weekend.


If you know anyone that suffers from depression or if you yourself do, watch the talk from Elder Holland (where the above quote came from), it is amazing!



There were seriously so many more I could have shared.  This is how the whole weekend was, just talk after talk filled with hope, truth and inspiration like these. When I was a child I remember thinking conference was so long and I couldn't wait for it to be finished.  Yesterday as the final session finished I wanted to cry as I did not want it to end.

There is good in this world, there is hope, there is a plan with a way to happiness.  I know this is true.

  2. It WAS good. Great collection of quotes. I didn't want it to end either and I look forward to reading Saturday's talks. We always end up missing Saturday's sessions due to the kid's sporting events.

  3. I laughed because this weekend I had the same thoughts. Conference used to take so long and now it gets over so quickly! I loved the emphasis on family! And everything was said with so much love. That is what impressed me the most. The amount of love.

  6. Hi Emmy,
    Love the post. Found you on twitter. Conference...was...awesome. My daughter said, "Mom you are blowing up your twitter." I replied, "Yes." FYI I don't generally blow up twitter like that lol. It seems Hannah was seeing both of us tweet about conference. I am now following you on twitter and GFC.

    Your new fan,

    1. Thanks! I love it too :) So many people think Mormons are just strange and we definite have a lot of unique things but mostly we love families and want to be good people that make the world a better place

  9. Wow, these are all super. So beautiful and true. This reminded me that I have a post due on Friday at Mormon Mommy Writers, and I haven't started it! I've just spent an hour reading blogs, and I get so caught up in it!
