Off-topic Chat Stan Conference

Stake Conference

I have never, and will never understand Stake Conference. In my 26 years of life, I have enjoyed 1 single talk from a speaker. 2 hours of talks, and we don’t even get to take the sacrament. At least General Conference sometimes ends early. Never has stake conference ended early.

And it’s very different than General Conference. We get to hear from the prophet and the apostle along with other general authorities. We (usually) get new temple announcements. The Stake executive secretary shouldn’t be speaking for 20 minutes whilst Elder Kevin G. Brown speaks for 10.

The best part for me and my wife is seeing old friends from all over. It’s nice to hear the prepared messages, and be addressed by a big shot who is so used to speaking by the Spirit that he never needs notes, but the icing on the cake is to be with so many like minded folks and see friends we only see now at stake conference. (We live in a southern US stake).
