Lots of thoughts, but no language

I enjoyed conference in a very mixed way, vascillating wildly between being inspired, motivated, and despairing over critical weaknesses. I received a witness that President Monson was indeed the living prophet, which I didn't ask for nor expect, but that was truly wonderful.
