At a CES Fireside in 2005, Elder Oaks said, "...a message given by a General Authority at a general conference-a message prepared under the influence of the Spirit to further the work of the lord-is not given to be enjoyed.  It is given to inspire, to edify, to challenge, or to correct.  It is given to be heard under the influence of the Spirit of the Lord, with the intended result that the listener learns from the talk and from the Spirit what he or she should do about it."

Sisters, of course it is one of our greatest desires that you will enjoy this conference, but even greater that you will be edified, lifted, inspired, changed, and a better sister because of what the Spirit will teach you.  

We challenge each of you to watch/listen to the words of our prophets prayerfully, and to be a little better (as President Hinckley would put it) after this conference.
