First off, let me just say that I was really blown away by this conference; the insights presented were so rich, edifying and paradigm-shifting. I watched this conference right around the time I celebrate two birthdays; the day I was born of my mother in the flesh and the day I was baptized by water and the Spirit by ordinances administer by my father.
As important as fathers and priesthood authority are, it is equally important to understand mothers and motherhood and how each plays an essential role in our salvation. I recommend viewing all of these videos and not skipping a single one because they build upon each other. If you are a woman, then stop what you are doing and watch this conference!
I was the only boy in my family and was blessed with three little sisters, and as a father, I have been blessed with three little daughters, so the role and divine purpose of women is something close to my heart. I think that the information presented in this conference will be part of a greater understanding of women in the plan of salvation.
The beauty and inspired nature of LDS doctrine concerning men and women in God’s plan is seen afresh and in a new light, or perhaps, a more correct light. The truth is right there in front of us, we just don’t really understand what it is we are seeing, or worse, we misinterpret and perpetuate incorrect perspectives of reality.
This conference is a step towards reversing those incorrect notions by attempting to look through the lens of the past so that we can see more clearly in the present.
