Fun fact: the Conference Center has a ton of backend infrastructure, including multiple floors of office space and a large number of apartments.  The apartments are for non-local General Authorities visiting for General Conference to stay in, so that they don't have to find some place to stay for the weekend.

You can take your fancy State Capitols and Salt Palaces--the Conference Center is the most impressive building in the city, if not the whole state.

Gencon 2025, here we go! Any last minute predictions? I'm gonna guess there will be a lot of talks about love and unity, Pres Oaks will mention the constitution, and there will be three new temples in Utah, and at least 8 outside the US

[Mags she/they]

Let's get this party started!!!!!!!

That session was amazing. Those first two talks had be bawling, and the Spirit was so strong the entire time. My seminary teacher said that it’s better to write your thoughts than the exact quotes, and I’ve been trying that. It’s been great so far.  

Prolly gonna break out the chocolate in two hours

I'm just glad I don't know what being bit on the arm feels like.

Mine also said that!

Conference thoughts so far:

• Loving all these based talks. 
• They sang the best arrangement of the best Easter anthem! I expected this, but I am thrilled nonetheless.
• Even the most chaotic, hectic, exhausting shift in the Conference Center is a better work environment than anywhere else. My feet hurt but that was the most fun I’d had all week. (The British guy telling me I was doing a “crackin’ good job” was icing on the cake.)

HAH, I LOVED THAT TALK. 

 

I can't help but find it incredible how articulate our prophet is. That man is over 100 years old, doesn't stumble over his words, shows up in person to conference... he's absolutely amazing. And the talk he gave was nothing but revelation. 

The entire conference was just amazing. 

[Through The Living Glass She/They]

I'm really happy about all the temple announcements! It's so cool to see what places all over the world are getting them!

. . . there was one in particular I was really happy about

*ehem*

Temple excitement:

SOUTH CAROLINA'S GETTING ANOTHER TEMPLE!!!

YOU GUYSSSSSS AHHHHH THAT MAKES ME SO HAPPY :D:D

Ik that's like nothing compared to some of the other ones but I'm really happy for all my friends and family back there

hehe

(My favorite talk was Tamara Runara’s (Can’t remember name exactly) talk about worth and self-esteem.)

But yes, it is amazing.

My uncle went for a Saturday session, but someone he was sitting next to him gave him tickets for the Sunday session.
