Hello again, everyone! I was a bit unsettled as far as my General Conference predictions were concerned, and I couldn't figure out why. Then it came to me: I needed to revise my thoughts about the projected speaker lineup. The last General Conference wasn't the start of a new trend. It was a conference in which the prophet and an apostle were absent. The last time President Nelson spoke in the opening session of General Conference was in October 2022. I now believe that if he is able to preside at the next General Conference in-person, he will speak in the opening session.
I also now believe that he will give his customary longest address on Sunday Morning, and that a final short address will conclude the final session. That in turn means that President Oaks will open the final session rather than closing the Sunday Morning Session. As a result of these changes, I have also adjusted how many GA Seventies I think might speak, and who those might be. Other than that, the revisions speak for themselves.
Just by way of information, I will be posting a birthday tribute to Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf tomorrow morning, then will plan on covering the major temple update in the afternoon. I will also be publishing a birthday tribute to Elder Dale G. Renlund next Monday morning, before covering the next major temple news in the afternoon. And my final 2023 apostolic milestone update will be provided on Sunday, November 19.
Lots to look forward to. I continue to monitor any and all Church News, Newsroom, and Church of Jesus Christ Temples updates and will be sure to pass word of those along to you all as they cross my radar. In the meantime, that does it for now. All comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated on any post at any time, as long as the offered feedback is made per the established guidelines.
