Hello again, everyone! Having set the background in my last post for the alterations to my predictions for the April 2018 General Conference, I now want to turn to an exploration of the order in which our new First Presidency might speak .
First of all, I wanted to examine when new Church presidents have given their first addresses in General Conference as such. Presidents Kimball, Benson, and Hunter all opted to do so at the beginning of the first session of their first General Conferences as Church president, while, more recently, Presidents Hinckley and Monson opted to give their first public addresses as Church president during the Priesthood Session on Saturday evening, with their first addresses to the Church at large in the Sunday Morning Session.
The one different thing about President Nelson is that he has already given his first public address to the Church as its' president, opting to do so after his call as such was announced. But aside from that, I would imagine his next opportunity to address Church members would mirror that of his two prophetic predecessors. It is possible he might opt to address the Church after the Solemn Assembly, but it seems more likely he will opt to wait until the priesthood session, and then publicly address the entire Church the following morning.
That brings me to the subject of the counselors in the First Presidency during the first General Conference of a new First Presidency. When President Kimball was sustained as Church president, his First Counselor, President N. Eldon Tanner, led the Solemn Assembly and was the concluding speaker at the Saturday Morning Session. Second Counselor President Marion G. Romney joined the other two in speaking during the Priesthood Session, and gave his first address to the Church-at-large on Sunday Morning.
Because President Benson opted to give his first address as Church president in the Saturday Morning Session, his counselors, Presidents Gordon B. Hinckley and Thomas S. Monson, gave their first addresses to the Church-at-large during the Sunday Morning Session. President Hinckley opened that session and President Monson closed it. The same occurred for the October 1994 General Conference under the direction of President Hunter.
For President Hinckley's first conference as Church president, he and his counselors all gave their first public addresses to the Church in their new roles during the Sunday Morning Session. President Monson opened the session, with President Faust speaking next, and President Hinckley was the concluding speaker (with that session including one member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and a member of the Presidency of the Seventy).
Most recently, for President Monson's first General Conference as Church president, since President Uchtdorf led the Solemn Assembly, President Eyring was asked to be the final speaker during the Saturday Morning Session. President Monson requested that President Uchtdorf be the first speaker during the Sunday Morning Session.
So, if, as I theorized in my last post, President Oaks leads the Solemn Assembly at the top of the Saturday Morning Session, it makes sense to me that President Eyring would be asked to speak at the conclusion of that session, while President Oaks would give his first address as President Nelson's First Counselor at the beginning of the Sunday Morning Session.
That does it for this post. Any and all comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated. Thank you for the privilege of your time. Until my next post, I wish each one of you all the best and pray that the Lord will bless you all in everything you do.

April 2018 General Conference Predictions Alterations: Part Two--First Presidency Speaking Order
I have had a lifelong love for Church history, which has extended to ongoing reports of the ministry of our apostles and prophets, General Conference, and all temple developments. This blog enables me to share that love with all who read my thoughts on these developments, which are sometimes reported multiple times per day as needed.
April 2018 General Conference Predictions Alterations: Part One---Who Will Conduct Each Session, Timing of Solemn Assembly, and Who Will Lead That
Hello again, everyone! As some of you may recall, I put up my initial predictions for the April 2018 General Conference not long after the conclusion of the October 2017 General Conference. But as a result of President Monson's death, the reorganization of the First Presidency, the two apostolic vacancies, and Elder Uchtdorf's return to the membership of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, I had to rethink things a bit. This post will set the background reasoning behind the alterations I have made, and will be followed with another post detailing the altered predictions.
First, some preliminary observations about those alterations: It was customary during the administrations of Presidents Hinckley and Monson that, for at least the first several General Conferences of their presidencies, they would conduct three sessions, and their other two counselors would conduct one each. President Monson's first conference was only slightly different, since President Eyring's ankle injury prevented him from being able to conduct any of those five sessions, leaving President Monson to conduct three and President Uchtdorf to conduct the other two.
If that pattern holds true for President Nelson's first conference, I would anticipated President Nelson will opt to conduct the Saturday Morning, Priesthood, and Sunday Morning Sessions, leaving Presidents Oaks and Eyring to conduct one each, and it seems to make the most sense if President Oaks, being senior to President Eyring, conducts the first of those two (Saturday Afternoon), leaving President Eyring to conduct the final session.
Next, as I have previously noted in earlier posts, there are no hard and fast rules mandating that a Solemn Assembly for a new Church president needs to be held during the Saturday Morning Session of his first General Conference as such, nor is it absolutely necessary that the First Counselor lead out in that process. That said, there has only been one occasion recently (with the Solemn Assembly for President Monson) where the First Counselor did not led out. President Eyring's aforementioned ankle injury precluded him from being able to fill that role.
So I feel reasonably certain that President Nelson has asked (or will ask) his longtime apostolic seatmate and dear friend President Dallin H. Oaks to lead out in the Solemn Assembly, and that that will occur for President Nelson during its' somewhat traditional time at the top of the Saturday Morning Session, at which time President Oaks will likely also be asked to announce the new apostles and other Church leadership changes. More on the specifics of those likely changes will follow later tonight.
But that does it for this post. Any and all comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated. Thank you for the privilege of your time. Until my next post, I wish each one of you all the best and pray that the Lord will bless you all in everything you do.

CORRECTION: Temple Dedications Announced in 2017
Hello again, everyone! I am posting very briefly tonight to note a self-correction of a previous assertion made on this blog. Earlier today, I had noted that tomorrow (January 30) would mark one year since the final three temple dedications of 2017 were announced. A double-check of the facts on my part verified that the announcement of those three events (for Tucson Arizona, Meridian Idaho, and Cedar City Utah) were actually announced on January 26, so it has been over a year since that time.
It could very well be that it was easier for the First Presidency to determine last year that all three US temples most recently dedicated were making sufficient enough progress to allow the announcement of the final two over three-quarters of a year prior to their actual occurrence than it would be to gauge how soon temples outside the US might be ready. We also saw the Jordan River Utah Temple rededication announced in early August last year, even though that will not occur until mid-May.
With all of that in mind, I would hope that we will be seeing a few future temple events for this year officially announced in the near future, but there are no hard and fast set rules about when that could occur. I will do my best to bring you the latest developments in that regard and will be sure to pass along any updates as I become aware of them.

Update Provided on Raleigh North Carolina Temple
Hello again, everyone! Although I somehow managed to overlook reporting this when I originally became aware of it a few days ago, I wanted to post again now and pass along an update on the renovation process for the Raleigh North Carolina Temple.
The update shows that that temple has had its steeple and entrance canopy removed, and that the temple's exterior marble cladding is coming down. It is good to have found out about this, and I am grateful I can now pass that along to you.

Updates Provided on First Two Temples Anticipated to be Dedicated This Year
Hello again, everyone! I am back, this time with an update on the status of the first two new temples anticipated to be dedicated next year. For the first, the nature of the update is a slight tweak in the wording of its' status. For the second, it has made somewhat significant progress. So let's get right into that.
I had reported over the weekend that, with the exterior stone cladding completed and with interior work progressing, bushes and flowers were being planted in the perimeter gardens of the Concepcion Chile Temple. Today when I looked at the sources I had available for temple-related information, the specific reference to the bushes and flowers going in was taken out an replaced by a simple statement that the planting of the perimeter gardens continues. As I noted above, it is just a minor wording adjustment, but seemed significant enough to report.
Meanwhile, reports have come in that indicate that the Barranquilla Colombia Temple is progressing as well, with the installation of art glass, an irrigation system, and driveway pavers well underway. Additionally, as with the Concepcion Chile Temple, it has been reported that perimeter gardens are being planted on the temple grounds.
Since the updated status of these two temples share certain elements, I am more convinced than ever that their dedications will likely take place fairly close together. As of yesterday, I advanced the idea that the Concepcion Chile Temple could be dedicated in mid-August, and that the Barranquilla Colombia Temple might only be dedicated in mid-October, with the rededication of the temple in Frankfurt Germany occurring between the two, in September.
Based on how similar the status of these two new temples happen to be, it could be that the Church may opt to have the two dedicated a few weeks apart, rather than letting a couple of months pass between the two.
Regarding the future time-frame for temple-related events, I took the time to refresh my memory on the particulars, and tomorrow will mark one year to the day when the Church announced the details of the last three temples dedicated last year (Tucson Arizona in August, Meridian Idaho in November, and Cedar City Utah in December).
With that in mind, and recognizing that there may be more to scheduling such events for temples outside the US, it would not surprise me at all if we were to hear within the next couple of months (perhaps sooner rather than later) the announcement of temple dedications that will be held before the end of this year.
On that subject, it appears that the new First Presidency has hit the ground running, since the first temple-related news released by them (the renovation of the Hamilton New Zealand Temple) was announced three days after their introduction to the media, and five days after the reorganization occurred.
So it seems safe to assume that there will likely not be a very long wait in terms of when we can expect the next temple news from our new leadership. And while it may be a while after that before we hear of the timing for the final temple events of this year, it will be interesting to see how soon any such news actually is announced.
Whatever might occur in that regard, you can depend on my bringing news of it to you all as soon as I am able to do so after learning of it. So stay tuned for that in the near future. That does it for this post. Any and all comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated. Thank you for the privilege of your time.

Updated Future Estimates for Known Temple-related Events
Hello again, everyone! Though I am returning to do so a little later than I anticipated, I am posting right now to note that I have updated the estimates I have previously provided for known temple-related events based on the new information I shared early this morning regarding how both the Rome Italy and Kinshasa DR Congo Temples may be dedicate before the end of this year. Those updates follow below.
That does it for this post. Any and all comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated. Thank you for the privilege of your time. Until my next post, I wish each one of you all the best and pray that the Lord will bless you all in everything you do.
That does it for this post. Any and all comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated. Thank you for the privilege of your time. Until my next post, I wish each one of you all the best and pray that the Lord will bless you all in everything you do.
2018:
Monday February 19: Oakland California temple Renovation
Closure (date has been confirmed)
Sunday March 4: Washington DC Temple Renovation Closure (date
has been confirmed)
Sunday April 15 or 22: Houston Texas Temple Rededication
(private)
April or May: Full-scale construction anticipated to
begin on the Winnipeg Manitoba Temple
Sunday May 20: Jordan River Utah Temple Rededication/Mesa
Arizona Temple Renovation Closure (both have been confirmed)
July: Hamilton New Zealand Temple Renovation Closure
(confirmation of official closure date is pending)
Sunday August 12 or 19: Concepcion Chile Temple
Dedication (160th operating temple)
Sunday September 16 or 23: Frankfurt Germany Temple
Rededication
Sunday October 14 or 21: Barranquilla Colombia Temple
Dedication (161st operating temple)
Sunday November 11 or 18: Rome Italy Temple Dedication
(162nd operating temple)
Sunday December 9 or 16: Kinshasa DR Congo Temple
Dedication (163rd operating temple)
NOTE: In view of new information received in the early
morning hours of January 28, 2018, there is reason to believe that both the
Rome and Kinshasa temples will be dedicated prior to the end of 2018. Based on
that new information, I am optimistic enough to venture the estimated
time-frames above. But if either temple has its progress delayed further for
any reason, that could push the dedication of one (or both) of them back into
early 2019. I am keeping my eyes open for information and updates and will make
adjustments as they are needed.
2019:
Mid-February: Port-au-Prince Haiti Temple Dedication (164th
operating temple)
Mid-to-late March: Memphis Tennessee Temple Rededication
Mid-to-late April: Oklahoma City Oklahoma Temple
Rededication
Mid-May: Lisbon Portugal Temple Dedication (165th
operating temple)
Early-to-mid June: Raleigh North Carolina Temple
Rededication
Early-to-mid August: Durban South Africa Temple
Dedication (166th operating temple)
Mid-to-late August: Asuncion Paraguay Temple Rededication
Mid-September: Baton Rouge Louisiana Temple Rededication
Mid-to-late October: Fortaleza Brazil Temple Dedication
(167th operating temple)
Mid-November: Arequipa Peru Temple Dedication (168th
operating temple)
Mid-December: Oakland California Temple Rededication
NOTE: While the Church has indicated that this temple’s
rededication is anticipated during 2019, it is one of the older ones, and, as
such, if the renovation process is delayed for any reason whatsoever, its
rededication could be pushed back into 2020.
2020:
Mid-February: Rio de Janeiro Brazil Temple Dedication
(169th operating temple)
Mid-to-late April: Tokyo Japan
Temple Rededication
Early-to-mid June: Winnipeg
Manitoba Temple Dedication (170th operating temple)
Early-to-mid September: Mesa
Arizona Temple Rededication
Mid-November: Washington DC Temple Rededication
2021:
Mid-May: Hamilton New Zealand Temple Rededication
NOTE: I heard that 2018 and 2019 could be big years for
temple groundbreakings. If that proves correct, then many other temples could
also be dedicated during 2020 and 2021. It also seems safe to assume that other
temple renovations will be announced, which will in turn necessitate subsequent
rededications. As the next two years unfold, I will have a better idea of when
such events may occur, and they can then be added to the other estimates above.

Further Temple Updates Provided
Hello again, everyone! I am back with an early-morning post to share some updates I have received on temples. Most significantly, in addition to what I posted yesterday, it would appear that the process of cladding the exterior of the Concepcion Chile Temple with stone has been completed.
Additionally, an article published by a newspaper in Italy has pointed to the idea that the Rome temple could be dedicated prior to the end of this year, and with the steady progress made in Kinshasa, the odds are that it may also likely be dedicated prior to the end of this year.
This information came to my attention recently enough that I am still evaluating it, and with everything I have been working on, I have been up for almost the last 18 hours, so I will be reevaluating things later on today (likely this afternoon or evening) and post those results when I have them. Just wanted to pass all of this along, for what it may be worth to any of you.

Yet Another Update on the Concepcion Chile Temple
Hello again, everyone! It has been a big few days in terms of Church and temple-related news & developments, and I am pleased at this time to bring you yet another update on the status of the Concepcion Chile Temple. The latest reports I have been able to obtain indicate that, while the interior finish work continues, bushes and flowers are being planted in the perimeter gardens on the temple grounds. As I noted earlier today, it is good to see the significant progress that occurs at times even moment to moment in temple construction. You can be sure I will be keeping my eyes open for developments in this regard as they occur, and will pass those along ASAP after learning of them. That does it for this post. Any and all comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated. Thank you for the privilege of your time.

Update Provided for the Kinshasa DR Congo Temple
Hello again, everyone! With the research I did to verify the closure of the Baton Rouge Louisiana Temple, it slipped my mind until now that I had found another update on the construction process for the Kinshasa DR Congo Temple. Let's talk about what has changed.
I last provided an update on that temple just four days ago. At that time, I noted that hard landscaping was making progress and that the paint being applied to the exterior of the temple was nearing its completion.
While the process of painting the exterior white has not yet fully completed, it has made progress. Roof shingles are also being laid, while the hard landscaping continues to progress as well. The final update to this temple's status is that the ceiling ductwork is being installed. It was wonderful to learn of those updates.
As with everything else related to Church and temple news, I continue to keep my eyes open for developments on any front and I will continue to do my level best to bring those to you all as I become aware of them.

Baton Rouge Louisiana Temple Closes For Renovation
Hello again, everyone! I wanted to post here again to confirm that the Baton Rouge Louisiana Temple has (or shortly will be) closed for its' renovation process. Its' last endowment session was scheduled for 1:00 PM today Louisiana time, and since that was almost 3 hours ago. it seems safe to assume it has since closed.
After consulting the many sources to which I look for temple-related information, it would appear that that temple is anticipated to be rededicated in mid-2019, rather than mid-to-late 2019 as I originally projected.
What that means is that the revised estimate for that rededication which I recently provided (mid-September) may or may not need to be changed based on how quickly this process moves along. It will be interesting to see what happens in that regard.
I am grateful to have been able to share this news with you all. You can depend on my continuing to monitor all temple-related developments and on my bringing those to you here as soon as I can after learning of them.
