From the announcement of two-hour church, to the addition of twelve new temples, to the firm emphasis on no longer being known as “Mormons” but instead, “members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,” this October’s general conference was full of surprises. Here are fifteen of the best Twitter posts about this weekend!

13. Gotta love general conference snack foods!
Eating all kinds of fruit and drinking tons of water today to fight off a cold. Its almost as if an entire weekend of eating nothing but cinnamon rolls and pumpkin pie was bad for me. #GeneralConference

All there is are worldly arguments. This is not a man-made organization, it never will be man’s ways. #GeneralConference
