    Not sure what just happened there. President Monson barely made it through to the end of that talk. Someone had to help him back to his seat.

      Dang, I thought Monson might not finish. I'm glad he was able to finish, but I felt like someone should've steadied him.

        You could see him getting weaker as the talk went on. I thought for sure someone would come help him stand.

          Rasband sounds like he's reading words someone else wrote. No connection.

            They sounded scripted, but they did sound like he wrote them.

              Huh? Didn't get that vibe at all. I thought he did a great job.

                I'm certainly not a Rasband fan but I'm sure he wrote those words.

                  Yeah, that was crazy. That is probably the last time we see him stand to give a talk. Or give a talk.

                      Nothing profound was said but Monson's talk was really inspiring to me, watching him give everything he had physically was pretty cool to me.

                        I am curious why you would phrase it that way. What has he done that you disliked? Hardliner?

                        I have heard him talk before but I don't remember enough to form an opinion. Never heard of the other two.

                          I made that same comment to my kids. He seemed to get progressively weaker second by second. It was all the more surprising compared with his talk last night.
