"The eye was placed where one ray should fall, that it might testify of that particular ray. We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of that divine idea which each of us represents."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Class Notes: Discussing General Conference

President Uchtdorf began his talk with humor: The funny line "You are wondering what this has to do with flying an airplane builds his ethos."
Plan: Another word for thesis.
Elder Holland: Encouraging tone.
President Packer:
Nothing new said but resulted in a protest. KAIROS.

14 points in following the prophet repeated twice.
Prophet will not be popular.
Bomb threat every day

President Monson
Subject was Gratitude.
Loving Tone.
Inflection in his voice
Roommate's dog story.

First thing said and last thing said draw attention.

Themes:
following the prophet
following the spirit
gratitude
following the Lord.

Why would these be the themes?
Who will you listen to?
