        Yeah, Russians always said the same thing. They were shocked by how similar Mormon meetings were to commie meetings--down to little details like everyone sustaining by the raise of the right hand.

Both of his talks today were outstanding but I thought he really knocked it out of the park with his talk on pride in the priesthood session. Excellent topic, brilliantly worded, and delivered with just the right tone. I especially like that he avoids the dramatic pauses and the sing/song intonation. Rather than beating the guilt-inducing drum of obey-obey-obey, he inspires and motivates. I like his style.

            I have one of his ties.

            He swapped with me when he was visiting Budapest and I was on my mission. I treasure that thing.

                When I was a kid at the heigth of the cold war I heard many members express the thought that soviet communism was Satan's attempt at deceiving good people by coopting principles of the united order and applying them in an evil way. Little did I know old scratch had also stolen meeting ideas.

                        In the next 3 years in General Conference, Elder Uchtdorf is going to reiterate the high points of Elder Packer's talk. He may be more artful in how he frames it, but the points made will be the same.

                        Mark it down.

                            the high point of Elder Packer's talk was that God loves all of his children, so I would concur with your prediction.
