Default 179th Annual General Conference discussion

I don't see a thread for this yet so I'll start it. I just finished listening to Jeffrey Holland's talk, What a powerfully delivered testimony. I'm at such a loss for words. Wonderful session, too.

I feel the same skal. Why is it that when I'm listening to one of the apostles speak, I'm thinking, "Wow, I love hearing him speak. He might be my favorite." But I think it with ALL OF THEM! Elder Holland's talk was amazing.

He gave a similar talk two decades ago. It was just as potent and powerful back then as today's talk was. Both moved me to tears. I know, I'm a softy. What powerful talks!!
