There's 3 things I think are likely.
1. They're going to talk about that ex-mormon who murdered that Bishop a while ago.
2. They're going to beg all the members to create a profile on the new church website (mormon.org I think).
3. I reckon Russell M. Nelson will give a talk about "Being an example of the believer" or something of that vein. He'll probably mention the number of missionaries in the world (52,000, I think), and the number of missions (I think about 340), and I think he'll urge more members to serve missions. He'll quote a prophet in his talk, stall time by reading half of D&C Section 4, talk about the gathering of Israel. He'll talk about member missionary work, and talk about how people feel "guilty" when they don't do anything. He might also make reference to a "garden". He'll tell the mormons to invite more non-members to church and church activities, and tell them to be really nice and generous to the non-members that turn up. He'll urge mormons to invite their friends to read the BoM. He'll also probably tell a story about an experience he and his wife had in the past, where they asked a friend to read the BoM. Their friends accepted, but didn't really read it. Russell asked them the next time they met if they read it, they'll say "Yes", but Russell will accuse them of lieing to him. Of course, Russell will be right, and they will promise to actually read it. Next thing we know, they're baptized.
So those are my predictions. #2 is almost guaranteed to happen. I got a bit carried away with #3, obviously. :D
Anyway, what are your predictions?
