Area Stake Conference

I went to Stake Conference today and listened to Elders Ballard and Eyring speak. Awesome. That's when I realized that Apostles are kind of like rock stars. Lets look at some of the similarities:

• Both draw huge crowds of people. Also, traffic is horrible at both confrences and concerts.

• Everyone tries to get as close to the stage/podium as possible. Granted I have never seen anyone camp out in front of a conference center, but there are those people who get up ridiculously early to find a seat.

• Both have warm up performances/speakers. Think about it. Nobody really goes to a concert to see how good the opening band is, and quite frankly sometimes the bands suck. Conferences have similar opening numbers (an excellent musician, the choir, and guest speakers). Sometimes these speakers are really good, and sometimes....well....

• Both wait until the exact time scheduled before they come on stage.
