Both excited and anxious. I'll be glad when it's over uneventfully. Perilous times we live in.....

Beyond grateful to hear from living Apostles and Prophets who testify and witness of Christ. Praying for all the men and women who speak that the spirit may help convey the messages they have been inspired to share.

I always enjoy the conference commentary from http://middleagedmormonman.com/home/

In fact I'm hoping they give basic and simple talks that a child can understand. Everyone's expecting meat doctrinal talks but I'm hoping for simple milk talks to get back to the basic fundamentals of what we need to be doing to be disciples of Christ and good people. I can't wait for next Saturday and I hope the Sisters enjoy tonight's session! :)
They might give both meat and milk. I'll be fine with both, but not one of them.

The talks don't need to be 'basic and simple', they just need to be inspired, which they will be. And, if you have the spirit to guide you, you will understand everything they teach you. It will be clear, direct and powerful.

Women's session was wonderful, very inspired talks.

I have a feeling that this conference is going to be particularly significant. I don't know if it will be significant for me or for all of us, but that's the feeling I get.

It's an excellent opportunity to receive revelation, and also to get a glimpse at some of the problems and blessings that are to come on a large scale. To put it simply, I can hardly wait.

I felt Pres. Uchtdorf's talk was timely, with regard to opposing groups hating each other and ascribing their own actions as love. As well as the point that our discipleship is based on what we do, not how the other person chooses to feel and act. They may hate us, even as we love and serve them, but we are still to love and serve them.

That counsel seems needed in today's world.

That was me when I used to work graves. Good thing is they have the sessions available online later the same day.

Until the church sheds its shackles with the fed gov and 501c3, I'm not counting on anything of substance - nothing ever changes - same old rhetoric every six months. I am curious though to see if they announce their $1 billion renovation project for the area around the Mesa temple?

Aside from the awesomeness of listening to inspired prophetic counsel, general conference has become the one and only time I can relax and safely enjoy speakers who aren't contentiously attacking/fighting with those who don't agree with them.

I think there's a prophecy about this somewhere...

The most amazing thing happened. Someone invited me over for Saturday afternoon session and an early dinner afterward! I was thinking of going to the Tabernacle for priesthood session just so I could spend a session with other people and not be completely alone. But with a deeply needed invitation I am looking forward to conference with even more excitement!

Looking forward to Conference...

Please let it be known the following:

1890: Manifesto released
1973: War begins between Israel and enemies
1987: President Benson gives his last talk on the Constitution.
1995: Family Proclamation released.
2014: Last Conference where the sustainings were unanimous in the Conference Center
2017: ???

What do these five things have in common?

A separation resulted shortly thereafter these conferences.

The righteous following Yahweh. The wicked following Azazael and leaving the camp only to die in the desert.

These events, all passed in October conference.

On Yom Kippur.
