Yes! I agree with the article and all the comments. I went into conference with a question and got answers to a dozen more. The outpouring of the Spirit was amazing. Plus, now I am working on being an energetic, spry 90ish conduit of the Spirit. ( I wanna be like President Nelson) I've got just over 30 years. Can I get there?!

Amen to everything said above!

The need for increasing personal revelation through accessing the holy ghost was the repeated message I got as well. I also listened to the priesthood session at home while my husband went to the church. Most precious to me was how my 8 year old wanted me to pause it when she needed to leave the room and was sad (a little) to go to a birthday party that was scheduled during the Sat. afternoon session. I promised we would watch the replay later for fhe.

Being there, sitting at the feet of the prophet, reveling in the Spirit, are all so amazingly wonderful. However, there are those of us who may live in places where the Saturday Morning session begins at 8:00 pm, and the rest follow in the middle of our night. Recording and reviewing are our options. Yet, for us, the spirit is strong, the excitement is electrifying, and the Holy Ghost testifies as strongly here and in each individual heart, as there. We may not shout with you, but the echo is continual.

I have had a hard time finding words to describe what I’ve felt about Conference this past weekend. I have been telling others that the talks were on a higher level than I remember them being. I had 16 pages of notes and impressions. Yes I listened to the Priesthood session though I didn’t need to. I have always enjoyed Conference, but this time my breath was taken away with how the messages rose to a higher level. I can’t wait to read and study the talks again. None of the speakers dumbed down the principles so we need to step up.

I felt the spirit so strongly during the whole conference. I felt bad when I saw people post where they were doing other things during the weekend and missed the special spirit of the conference weekend. They missed so much by choosing not to listen. It just isn't the same to listen later. The spirit was so strong.

That is why I always have my journal with me. This Conference I wrote 11 pages of my personal impressions - when the Holy Ghost spoke to me and witnessed to me. I have found if I say to myself 'I will read that later in the talk in the Ensign' usually I cannot find it; that personal message was for me at the moment I heard it with the spirit of Conference.

I so agree with you. The spirit was so strong and so many heartfelt and strong messages like never before. I can’t wait to get my Ensign and ponder over each of them. Thanks for the wonderful article.

Excellent! I wholeheartedly agree.

I agree completely, it was quite memorable in so many ways. I've got a list of names for pity quotes I want to put in my quotations file. And I don't recall ever hearing so many hymns quoted in talks. I could be wrong, but it really struck me as far more than usual.

Darlene HutchisonApril 3, 2018

Thank you, thank you, and thank you for expressing so well my feelings exactly. I wanted to shout to the world - 'Did you hear what I heard'?

Barbara KApril 3, 2018

Not to forget the definition of success! Guess I'm a nobody. Don't remember a conference like this where I felt like every talk really reonanted with me. Been talking about it!

Jill RasmussenApril 3, 2018

Yes. You captured it. It wasnt just what was said, but how it was said. I felt to relate to those who witnessed the Savior visit them in the Americas, or sitting and listening to King Benjamins sermon. And how many times did we hear "we talk of Christ, ...that our children may know." We are being prepared as a people for greatness ahead. If we will listen and follow.

Lori HamiltonApril 3, 2018

Amen!! I can't imagine missing a single session of a single conference! The messages in this conference were profound! hopefully, life / character changing as I implement then. Thanks for your article!

KarenApril 3, 2018

Amen, Joni. Conference last weekend was truly a spiritual feast. You didn't mention the beautiful music but that also added to the rich spirit of the sessions. I can't wait to revisit each talk in greater depth. What a blessing it was.

I only saw the sunday sessions but it was wonderful. I am so amazed at how a 93yr old man has such a young body and spirit. he moves like a younger man and speaks like one as well. I loved all of the talks they were right on point. I'm so glad to be a member of the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints.
