Also to clarify. Any of the $$ stuff I'm talking about with the rooms is NO income to the Foundation. In fact, we spend thousands every year to put it on, and have only raised the fees once in the last 4-5 years, and before that only once before, from what we were charging 12 years ago. :-) And that is usually $5 when we do. Food for the Conference is VERY expensive! Hope you can join us f

DON'T BE FOOLED! I am getting some emails about the difference between an online rate and the one given for our block of rooms. This is the explanation from the hotel for that: "The rooms that you might see for less online are limited.

You remember it right. It was drilled into me and my contemporaries over and over that only ONE man, as the Prophet for the whole world, could speak for God.

From the Deseret News.....Note what they are saying about the reasons for lowering the mission ages, and not really caring that most of them are going stateside, as converts isn't the number one purpose!! They are confirming what a lot of us thought at the beginning of this -- a way to keep the young people firmly co-dependent on the church for the rest of their lives! http://www.deseretnews
