Hello again, everyone! As I mentioned in my previous post, I had already done a rough draft of my initial predictions for the April 2026 General Conference before today's announcement discontinuing the Saturday Evening Session of General Conference.
That announcement took me back to the drawing board as far as those predictions were concerned. I am pleased to now present my revised initial predictions for the April 2026 General Conference. As per my usual custom, I have my projected speaker lineup, my predictions regarding changes in general Church leadership (which also includes my projected data for the 2025 statistical report), and my masterlist of possible locations in which temples could be announced.
With reference to the last document, I would not be surprised to either just see a few new temples announced or for the current hiatus on temple announcements to continue until the queue of announced temples is significantly smaller, although I am hoping by the time this General Conference rolls around that the queue will be much smaller than it is right now. This masterlist is being included in these predictions just in case there are new temples announced.
The rest of the predictions speak for themselves, I think. If any of you have any questions, I welcome the opportunity to address them in the comments section below. I invite you all to stay tuned here for my coverage of the latest updates from the Church News, Newsroom, and Church of Jesus Christ Temples sites. I’ll be sure to pass word of those along to you all as soon as I learn about them. 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 all such feedback is made per the established guidelines. I hope any of you who would like to share anything will take your opportunity to “sound off” in the comments below. If you liked what you read here and would like to stay informed of newly added posts and comments, please subscribe to receive the applicable updates. Thank you for the privilege of your time. Until my next post, I wish you all the best and pray that the Lord will bless you all in everything you do.
While I welcome any comments on these predictions, my plan is to also continue to provide the latest updates from the Church News, the Newsroom, and the Church of Jesus Christ Temples sites here in the comments section, since those updates don't stop while dialogue is being held about these predictions. So feel free to comment on these predictions at any time, but please consider doing so in a new subsection (rather than replying to this comment) so we can keep the comments about these predictions separate from any other updates that are shared.
ReplyDeleteRegarding other updates, the Church News has provided teaching and study resources for the talk given by Elder Peter M. Johnson during the Sunday Morning Session. My thanks once again to you all.
And the Church News has shared the origin story of the new Christmas hymn, "Little Baby in a Manger<"/a>. My thanks once again to you all.
DeleteAt some point yesterday after the General Conference announcement, the First Presidency released their Christmas message for 2025. My thanks once again to you all.
DeleteAnd the Church News has also covered that Christmas message. My thanks once again to you all.
DeleteHello again, everyone! This is to note that, effective today, I made some changes to my projected speaker lineup to include more of the new GA Seventies than I previously had, replacing the veteran GA Seventies who last spoke in April 2021, in view of an April 2014 statement by Elder Michael John U. Teh that GA Seventies usually speak once every 6-7 years. The exceptions to that, as outlined in another thread on this blog, are Elders Erich W. Kopischke and Eduardo Gavarret, who will be granted emeritus status in August 2026. So those updates have been noted, and in view of those updates, all but two of the new GA Seventies sustained last year are likely to speak in the upcoming General Conference. My thanks once again to you all.
