Teaching After the Manner of the Spirit - Matthew O. Richardson

This is really a great talk, I guess I feel that way about most of the talks, maybe even all of the talks I hear at conference.  I love the words that carry the Spirit, and since so many of the words of conference were written and prepared under the Spirit most of them carry that same Spirit to us, if we are open and ready to receive them that way.

Elder Richardson tells the story of being recognized as a "Real" missionary.

He also tells a story of his daughter holding to his pockets and stepping in his footsteps.  We must follow in the footsteps of the Savior and teach with the spirit.

I do enjoy listening to conference while I write in my journal by my attention is not very focused.  I need to do better to find time again later in the day when possible to listen to that talk one more time so that I can capture more of the thoughts and principles.  There is no way for them to be in my mind and heart unless I really learn them.

However, I do like the fact that I hear some each day as I'm writing, it's a good start and better than nothing.
