"It is truly a wonderful thing to step out of the world, as it were, and set aside two days to reflect on things divine.
"We are all so busy with our mundane pursuits which pull us this way and that. We all need, the whole world needs, the opportunity to meditate and reflect on the things of God and to listen to words that inspire and help.
"Our testimonies have been strengthened and that is good . . . Our testimonies need to be renewed every day.
"I hope that when we return to our homes before retiring for the night, we each will get on our knees and express our appreciation and ask for the strength to live the gospel more fully as a result of this conference.
"May the blessings of heaven rest upon you, my dear friends. I pray that what you have heard and seen may make a difference in your lives. I pray that each of us will be a little more kind, a little more thoughtful, a little more courteous. I pray that we will keep our tongues in check and not let anger prompt words which we will later regret. I pray that we may have the strength and the will to turn the other cheek, to walk the extra mile in lifting up the feeble knees of those in distress.
"This gospel is an intimate thing. It is not some distant concept. It is applicable in our lives. It can change our very natures.
"May his peace and love be upon you and enshrine your lives.
"God be with you till we meet again."
