Popular Post nuclearfuels Posted October 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2019 I heard a lot of hotels in Palmyra, NY were booked out after Oct. 2019 Gen. Conf. Thinking about heading up there myself, takes about 6 hours. Heard from our missionaries that some people are going to Adam ondi Ahman for the April 2020 Gen. Conf. - seems a bit much to me but, to each his own. I'm wondering what if any speculation y'all may have heard? I've heard speculation that Joseph Smith will be there (I imagine he will be but not as a resurrected being), that the Savior might appear there (I honestly hope He doesn't as I need more time to fix some stuff). 5 Link to comment
JAHS Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Actually there are no Hotels in Palmyra. There's one Best Western motel and a few Bed and Breakfasts. 2 Link to comment
Duncan Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I put on FB that Joseph Smith will make an appearance and I bet $38.50 he'd be there. I doubt it but maybe a direct descendant? but probably something like speaking from these remote locations, "memorable and unforgettable" sure, but narley? no way 1 Link to comment

On the sesquicentennial anniversary of the Church, April 6, 1980, President Spencer W. Kimball addressed general conference from the restored Peter Whitmer farmhouse in Manchester, New York. 5 Link to comment

I speculate there will be sessions or speakers broadcast from Palmyra area historical sites. President Kimball spoke from the Peter Whitmer Farm back in 1980 for the 150 year celebration. 1 Link to comment

Popular Post MiserereNobis Posted October 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2019 I predict the broadcast will be from Vatican City, where the pope will baptize the apostles and announce the creation of a new Rite in the Catholic Church: the Mormon Rite, with President Nelson as the Patriarch of the Rite.

Just for fun, I checked to see if I could get a reservation at that Best Western that is close to the Smith Family Farm and Sacred Grove... It is totally sold out the weekend of general conference (first weekend of April 2020). So I checked the weekends immediately before and after -- tons of available rooms those weekends. Since my first thought was also that they might do a Gen Conf broadcast from the Sacred Grove, I'm not surprised that others thought to book the hotel. Or, maybe, that's where the church leaders and support staff are all staying. The website says the hotel was renovated just last year. I could see the church having booked the whole thing as a production headquarters/lodging if they are actually going to do a broadcast from there. Obviously speculation but it makes sense. 2 Link to comment

Ballard and Elder Christofferson they were "silent notes taking" of things? 1 Link to comment
2BizE Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I wonder if 50 years from now, church leaders will teach that at the 2020 April conference, the voice and face of Pres. Nelson was transposed with the voice and face of Joseph Smith. Link to comment
