After major addresses given during Saturday's priesthood session and the Sunday morning session of the conference, President Hinckley closed the two-day event with note of anticipation for the future. He waved his cane and blew a kiss to well-wishers as he made his way out of the Conference Center.
"Just a word in closure my brothers and sisters. We bring to a close this great conference. The music has been magnificent, the prayers have been inspired, and the talks and testimonies have touched our hearts, lifted our spirits and confirmed our faith.
"Now, as we return to our homes, and our vocational labors, may we remember and constantly express in our lives the counsel we have received. May we remain fortified against the wiles of the adversary. May our labors and many church responsibilities be not burdensome, but may they bring joy and satisfaction.
"May we live together as husbands and wives, as parents and children, with love and kindness and respect for one another. God bless you my beloved brothers and sisters. I leave my love and my testimony and my blessing with you and pray that the Lord will be with us, each and every one, until again we meet. May heaven's blessings rest upon you."
