Special stake conference?
I've never seen this happen before. Apparently today was fast Sunday for our stake (oops) and next week we're having a "special stake conference", about 3 months ahead of schedule. Anyone else? Should I start packing our covered wagon?

We had our stake conference this weekend. Our mission president, President Jensen, and his wife were in attendance, and our temple president, President Posey, and his wife were in attendance.
Saturday session was great, and well as today. I have plenty of notes. We were told we were getting around 100 new missionaries added to our mission this year, but only 3 extras cars for those 100 missionaries. Meaning: the elders AND sisters will be serving "bicycle missions". Yes, sisters too. On bikes. ~TG

I'm guessing you're getting a new stake presidency.

This has been a fairly common occurrance in the last year or so at least in the Intermountain area. It happened in my stake last year when they called a 'special' Stake Conference for the week after our regularly scheduled one. Everyone thought there would be big changes coming. Turns out nothing happened other than an Area Authority Seventy came and addressed us, and after he spoke the Stake President asked a few people out of the congregation to come forward and share their testimonies. The story I got was that the Seventy told them he was coming on a certain week and not to change the date for their regularly scheduled Conference. We would just have two conferences in a row.

We had a "special" Stake Conference called for just a couple of weeks after our regularly scheduled one where they even served the *Sacrament* at the meeting (which took some pretty stellar coordination of the various Deacons' quorums), and it ended up being that they were changing the boundaries of some of the wards. Interestingly enough, MY ward was the only one left unchanged.

Could sisters wear shorts beneath their skirts to prevent incidents like this?
