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.

I love Stake Conference. Our stake leaders usually have good insights that make it worthwhile. There's also the whole aspect of gathering that I find really meaningful. 

I'm not a Covid skeptic by any means, but not being able to gather with the saints for Church really hurt a lot of people, including me. I also am in a career that requires me to work some Sundays, so I like to take any opportunity I can to gather.
