That's amore

In the most recent General Conference, I picked up a strong theme of "love." The more love fills our hearts and our lives, the more peace and fulfillment we will experience. Lady Cluck, or whatever her name was, in Disney's Robin Hood famously declared, "Love conquers all!" And in commentary on the charity teachings from the end of Moroni 7, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland taught that charity is not so much the love that we imperfectly attempt to show to each other; rather it is the perfect, transcendent love of that Savior that He gives to us. It is His love that fills us and that we must allow to enter into our hearts.

Each of us has parts that need conquering. It sounds a bit cliche, and sounds best coming from the beak of a cartoon British chicken, but love indeed conquers all. Our job is to open the door, invite it in, and let it have its way.
