I love, love, love Rio. I need to get back soon.

Rio is the best city in the world.

I walked in and Packer was talking about how we need to refer to ourselves as "Latter-Day Saints" and not "mormons". I thought they gave up on that crap back when they started mormon.org, but I guess not.

I'm still scratching my head about this talk. He started out with tyndale, then moved to that little bit of information, and finally finished with "let it be."

Sounds like I chose the right session to miss.

Did Elder Oaks watch 127 Hours??????

Sounds like he's recapping the movie (yeah I know there was a book too.)

What I don't understand is this. You have 20 minutes to speak to the membership of the church. You ponder what will be the thing you can talk about that will most inspire and help bring them to Christ. And you come up with "call yourselves LDS not Mormon". WTF?

I dunno, but he just threw down on oxcoug, Commando, and the rest of our CUF misfits.

[hello]

That was a really good talk!

Yep, and women with careers.

There was a talk a couple years ago where the speaker recapped Black Hawk Down. I even think it was an apostle. Good movie and good talk.

It was Eyring if I remember correctly.

as I heard it he ripped not only women with careers but women who desired careers over motherhood.

In his defense, i think you probably prioritize and cherish fatherhood over your career. I'll have to go back and re-listen/read to see if he was talking about women with careers, or only those who choose a career over motherhood.

the difference is that in Mormonism a career is an intrinsic element of fatherhood. It's difficult for some to separate the two.

No, it was definitely just women who prioritize a career over motherhood.

But I'm pretty sure Dr. Russell Nelson worked 80+ hour weeks from his 20s into his 50s and nobody ever accused him of prioritizing career over fatherhood.
