General Conference

I love reading the Ensign. There are few things I look forward to more. My favorite is the conference talks. I like General Conference weekend, but the time I most grow is when I am able to read and study the talks. I learn so much more that I didn't hear when I was listening to it. Over the many General Conference's (and I'm sure many of you can relate), I have noticed that I take the most from President Deiter F. Uchtdorf's talks. I'm sure everyone has a favorite they like to listen to. I feel like he talks to my soul the most, that he relates to me the most. I was reading the conference talk from April titled "Waiting on the Road to Damascus" and I found a new favorite quote:

"The truth is, those who diligently seek to learn of Christ eventually will come to know Him. They will personally receive a divine portrait of the Master, although it most often comes in the form of a puzzle-one piece at a time. Each individual piece may not be easily recognizable by itself; it may not be clear how it relates to the whole. Each piece helps us to see the big picture a little more clearly. Eventually, after enough pieces have been put together, we recognize the grand beauty of it all. Then, looking back on our experience, we see that the Savior has indeed come to be with us-not all at once but quietly, gently, almost unnoticed."
