Knight of Iron she/they Posted October 2, 2021 Posted October 2, 2021 Elder Holland's talk was great. Also for some reason my brain noticed that instead of saying "numbers are going down worldwide," Elder Oaks said "nationwide," and now I'm wondering if that'll be fixed in the transcript.
Quivil Posted October 2, 2021 Posted October 2, 2021 AND WE GET A CHOIR AGAIN!!!! I think it was good that all the precautions were mentioned. AND THE TALKS WERE GREAT!!!!! 1
Mat he/him Posted October 2, 2021 Posted October 2, 2021 I think it’s cool how there’s always an unspoken theme with all the talks, even the songs. 3
Chinkoln he/him Posted October 3, 2021 Posted October 3, 2021 These have been great! I felt the Spirit fill me throughout the day, and even though I know it is probably the least important part of all conference, I can’t wait to hear the temples tomorrow… 2
Mist she/her Posted October 3, 2021 Posted October 3, 2021 Same, Tani. Same Plus I had work during a lot of it, which meant I couldn't listen.
+Slowswift Posted October 3, 2021 Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) Just. Brad Wilcox, man. (I guess that's Elder Wilcox now?) He is such a good speaker, and more than that, he clearly speaks with the Spirit. They all do--I also especially enjoyed Elder Nielsen's talk. And Sister Eubank is just awesome. And I could keep going... Can't wait for tomorrow, too. @Chinkoln I'd hardly say they're the least important! Actually I'd argue that it's one of the most important announcements each year. @Tani Same! I've made a few notes that basically amount to "Just rewatch this one. It's awesome." Also, was that @Steeldancer I spotted in the choir again? Edited October 3, 2021 by Slowswift 1
Mat he/him Posted October 3, 2021 Posted October 3, 2021 I missed the afternoon and evening sessions while at an XC meet (84 schools!) so I’ll watch them Monday 1

Well I know it’s important, and temple work is amazing, but I mean, the actual announcement of temples kind of pales in comparison to the spiritual messages being shared Edit: 14 temples!!!!

Mage he/him Posted October 4, 2021 Posted October 4, 2021 Another one in Rexburg!! Let's go! We need it with all the BYUI students. 2

I read somewhere that President Nelson has personally announced like 83 temples or something. It's insane.

They could be announced on churchofjesuschrist.org, whereas the conference talks don't have quite the same effect when you are simply reading them.
Atusiff he/him Posted October 4, 2021 Posted October 4, 2021 Hey, I recognize this name. Cool to know there are a lot of us here

I sang in the choir for the face-to-face with Elder Gong and that was so cool, I'd imagine singing in General Conference would be even more amazing

Enter a username Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 Spoiler Spoiler Well, Joseph Smith sure did. 4
Mat he/him Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) I was able to go on a youth temple trip yesterday, and as a group we did baptisms for 179 names and confirmations for even more What's also cool is that I was one of two Priests there, so I got to do half of those. It was pretty awesome since it'd been awhile since I'd been able to go. Edited October 25, 2021 by Matrim's Dice 4
ashwastaken Posted November 6, 2021 Posted November 6, 2021 Oh hey, this is interesting. I’m not religious and haven’t gone to church since I was four, but the only reason I speak Russian is because my dad went on his mission there and he speaks it near fluently. I’ve heard the language learning process for missionaries is super intense, but clearly it works since my parents are nearly fluent in the languages of where they went on their mission. also, I literally just remembered the thing about how (in Mistborn) they had to write stuff in metal! Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Joseph Smith like carve his prophecy words (sorry I don’t know terms) into metal plates and then bury them in the ground?

My dad went to Russia as well! He can definitely not still speak Russian though But my uncle and Grandpa can both still speak their languages and I attribute my dad to Russian being really hard and him not using it at all when he got back, so good on your dad for still speaking it! 2 minutes ago, ashwastaken said: also, I literally just remembered the thing about how (in Mistborn) they had to write stuff in metal!

Close Joseph Smith was directed to the golden plates, which he un-buried and translated. But yes, they were written onto metal. Just by the ancient inhabitants of America during bible times, not Joseph Smith.

Just by the ancient inhabitants of America during bible times, not Joseph Smith. Russian is a really cool language, it’s grammar is just really really different from english’s. It takes ages to learn though, but it’s so so rewarding to be able to talk in someone else’s native language. ahhh ok. This is one of those times when I wish I knew more about LDS theology
