Zowieink Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 There seems to be many reports of "visitors" during various stake conferences being held in Utah and Arizona. Does anyone have any idea? I have heard of Boyd K. Packer in Draper and another in Highland, both in Utah. In Arizona, several conferences will have satelite talks, while others have general authorities. Are we being warned? Does anyone have any ideas as to what is being said in the conferences? Quote
Wingnut Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 My stake has our normal conference scheduled for the first Sunday in May (to be done broadcast style). However, last week it was announced that we will have a "special session" of stake conference in three weeks, in the traditional style. There will be a Priesthood leadership meeting on Saturday afternoon and a Saturday night adult session, then a Sunday morning session. We are going to have a visiting authority, but I don't know who.I live in Ohio, so nowhere near Utah, North Utah (Idaho), or South Utah (Arizona). Quote
Palerider Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 Keeep this in mind....Stake President's do not schedule Stake Conferences. They wait for a letter to arrive from Elder Packer telling them when they will have Stake Conference for the upcoming year Quote
Palerider Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 Our stake will have Stake Conf the week after General Conf. We will have it on sunday in our own units so we can watch the Broadcast along with 20-30 other stakes in the midwest region. Quote
Elgama Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 Elder Holland attended ours in Aberdeen, Scotland last September - his speech was entitled Hard Times and in included an amazing blessing. However we get a member of the 12 at Stake Conference every 10-15 years or so he was about on time lol. And we get an Area Authority 70 once a year -Charley Quote
Moksha Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 I was told that they show up when there is a changing of the guard in Stake Presidents. Quote
Palerider Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 I was told that they show up when there is a changing of the guard in Stake Presidents. you are correct....it will either be a member of the 70 or the Quorum of the 12 that attends and interviews.....they usually interview all members of Stake Presidency and High Council and all Bishops/Branch Presidents.

Wingnut Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 I was told that they show up when there is a changing of the guard in Stake Presidents.They do, but it's not the only time they come. Quote

Palerider Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 Our Stake President was released about 3yrs ago and I got to be interviewed by Elder Oaks....awesome stuff....:) Quote
Elgama Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 I was told that they show up when there is a changing of the guard in Stake Presidents.we usually get a 70 for ours out in the sticks but we do just periodically get a member of the 12.-Charley Quote
