      Then who would the SP be able to call the most faithful in the stake?

        Those who got up and made cinnamon rolls for the Sunday morning session.
        Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

            I've been predicting this for a few years. It's only logical. I also think eventually missions will be either 18 mos or 24 months for both men and women. 18 months if you speak your native language, 24 months if you learn a foreign language.

              I think it's a step closer to a female version of the priesthood.

                It was dumb to have an age difference.

                Next step should be Service only or Service focused missions. Yes they have those right now, but they seem to be for those that may not be able to served a proselyting mission and are only living at home. Send them to Africa.

                  Then I would assume that you would get to choose whether you are submitting papers for an 18 or 24 months mission in advance?

                    Yeah, basically the express understanding would be that if you are willing to learn a language, you are signing up for the possibility of 2 years. If an 18 month mission works better for you, you mark that down knowing that you'll probably be speaking your native language somewhere.

                      That would be great

                          kind of like what they did for foreign language missions before the LTM ( 3yrs foreign speaking, later shorted to 2 1/2 yrs, 2 yrs english)

                          I may be small, but I'm slow.

                          A veteran - whether active duty, retired, or national guard or reserve is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to, "The United States of America ", for an amount of "up to and including my life - it's an honor."

                            I hope that comes to pass.

                              So I've seen some unhappiness over dropping the Saturday Evening session of conference. Even some re-lamenting no more Priesthood Session.

                              Look, I'm as solid and devout as anyone. I am all in, way all in. But c'mon man. One less meeting should be hailed as awesome.
