The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is preparing for its April 2024 General Conference in Salt Lake City, with significant developments announced. President Russell M. Nelson, at 99 years old, highlighted the dedication of senior church leaders, noting that many serve well beyond 'retirement age,' with some even prerecording their messages or sitting while speaking due to advanced age. Nelson expressed gratitude for the ability of church members to participate in the conference through various mediums. Ahead of the conference, 64 new Area Seventies were sustained in a leadership session, with 52 set to be released, including eight from the Utah Area. Additionally, the church announced the release of 12 hymns next month in preparation for a new hymnbook. The conference is expected to be a busy event with a global message, the introduction of a new apostle, and various logistical preparations for attendees in downtown Salt Lake City.
