General Conference

I am so inspired today by General Conference. As soon as I get my breakfast (yes it's 10:00 am and I haven't had it, bad habit) I want to watch it again. At least one talk. I thought it was so neat how several talks talked about unity and showing kindness to our neighbors and others in the world. How we're not asked to walk across the continent, but to walk across the street and visit our neighbors. Also I think it was Elder Colleridge?? that talked about the Names of Jesus and how the world tells us that if we work hard enough and put in enough effort that we can achieve perfection in that thing, like athletes and great leaders etc. But that it's not Christ's way. We'll always fall short, he offers himself freely and we don't have to work up to have the effects of the Atonement.
I just thought that was good way of putting it.
