Okay, most of you probably remember this talk. I have a confession to make about it before I post it... I was riding in the car and listening to conference. I had missed the introduction and had no idea who was speaking. I kept thinking, "What a WEIRD talk." Seriously. So... as the talk goes along, the Spirit starts to take hold - and I realize it's Elder Bednar speaking. Okay, I'm not sure which happened first. I like to believe that I started feeling the Spirit before I realized it was Elder Bednar but my husband says I have a photogenic and not a photographic memory (Reader's Digest joke). Anyhow... I learned a couple of things from this experience. I learned that it doesn't matter who's speaking - I need to have my spiritual ears tuned in. I learned that in today's world, great truths can be hidden in parables just as they were in the times of Christ. I LOVE this talk. I have learned more from this talk this year than almost any others I've listened to or read. I have listened to it several times and read it even more. I think I almost understand it - or at least as much as I can for now.
As promised. This is a talk that didn't make me laugh or cry. Okay, maybe I did cry a little. At the end. When he bears his testimony - and he cries. I cry when I listen to it now. Now that I understand it a little better.

The bonus talk is another talk by Elder Bednar. This was a CES address and I have used it in numerous training messages. I LOVE this talk. It is a great talk on how to become a better teacher. And we are ALL teachers.
