    Coming up general conference

    Saturday morning Tom will give recap of temple dedications and travels. Don't know if he will announce any more temples or not. Saturday afternoon Will call a few new members of the first and second quorom of the Seventy. If 13 men are called to first quorom from second quorom of Priesthood at large it will max out. 08 and 09 had a good deal of brethern called there.

    Will a native Pacific Islander get called or West African this time? We will have to see. Release 40 to 50 Area Seventies effective may 1st and call around the same number give or take a few. Hear the audit report. Hear all the Ga's that have passed away since last year and there wives and widows and a few auxillary and curriculum people as well.

    Priesthood session doubt we will hear how worthless someones husband is have in the past. Dieter will have airplane story to tell. Hal I am not sure. Sunday afternoon Tom will thank all the people that have been released for there excellent service. If we get new Presiding Bishopric will thank them. That will not surprise me as they are all over 70 and gave prayers last two general conferences. Interesting who they will call. They will be the first released ones not to get another ga call in a long time. As Seventies rarely serve after there 70th birthday.

    Will get one inagural talk this year as they did nto call as many Ga's last year. That one has not spoken since his call two years ago. There is an alphabetical rotation for new members of the Seventy when they are called.

    If healthy will hear all of First Presidency and Twelve. Two members of Presidency of Seventy, Two female and one male auxiallory One pb member and several members of First and Second Quorum of seventy. We will hear ones we heard before this time as they tapered off new ones last year.

    That is my predictions for conference. Five people will be given emeritus this fall in First Quorom if they go by strict Seventy so would be down to 65 if maxed out. But I would not be surprised if either this year or next first Quorom is maxed out btween April and October. As gnerally new ones are called in April and released in Ocotober. That is why there are more members between april than october.

    Those are some pretty bold predictions. You've gotten me excited for Conference.

      I would pay money for a grapevine General Conference play by play.

        grapevine, you follow this stuff the way others on the board follow college football. Your knowledge about all of this stuff is very impressive.

          Any feel for which hymns will be choir only and which will feature the congregation?

              I learned something new this weekend. I did not know that the auxiliaries had their own general meetings in SLC as part of the overall GC festivities.

              Obviously there is Priesthood session for men...the main event on Saturday night, the keystone meeting of the entire weekend. I also know that there is a Woman's Conference type deal, I suppose the equivalent to the Priesthood Session, but generally scheduled during the offseason, when hotel rates are less expensive and the building isn't being rented out, thereby denoting importance, I suppose. I've never understood why it is not done in conjunction with the semi-annual stuff. This is the meeting that many women skip...the same women that freak out if the men don't go to Priesthood.

              My MIL went up to SLC on Saturday to go to some world YW meeting at the conference center. She invited all of us to go and my first thought was wtf would I want to go to a YW meeting, but she explained that you often see families attend. I had no idea such a meeting took place.

              Are there other general meetings as part of the semi-annual GC lineup, even though they don't necessarily take place on GC weekend? For example, is there a General worldwide Primary meeting? I assume the YM meeting is basically lumped into Priesthood.

                General RS meeting alternates with a YW meeting the Saturday before the "main event".

                  Reminds me of the time I was in the EQ Presidency in a ward in St. Louis. There was a push from leadership to get all the men to Priesthood session of conference so we were calling around arranging car pools and such. One guy said he couldn't make it to the Priesthood Session of General Conference because he had to be at home to watch his kids while his wife went to Girls Night Out at Deseret Book.

                    If you had gone you would not have been able to get in - Women only I was told. Our ward/stake had several YW in a multi-stake choir. Fathers were told they would only be able to see the choir on the satellite broadcast.

                    We had a member of our ward pass away recently who was the first YW general president. We'll see if she gets mentioned.

                      I really enjoy general conference. Sunday sessions, because Saturday I am usually involved in some critical activity I can't miss.

                      Anyway, I enjoy the talks. Generally one or less do I kinda shake my head. Most I say amen at the end and mean it. At least one sometimes more really hits home with me and gives me some incentive to do better.

                      Also when I am hanging out with the siblings I will bring up something I heard from conference. It makes them happy knowing I listen to conference.
