The announcement of three new temples and a call for Mormons everywhere to plan and participate in a "Day of Service" highlighted Saturday's first day of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' 181st Annual General Conference. A total of 19 talks were given during Saturday's three sessions at the LDS Conference Center — the morning and afternoon general sessions and the evening priesthood session for males ages 12 and older.
The speakers included all three members of the church's First Presidency and seven members of the Quorum of the Twelve, individuals the Latter-day Saints revere as prophets, seers and revelators.
President Thomas S. Monson opened the morning session by announcing new temples in Fort Collins, Colo., Meridian, Idaho; and Winnipeg, Canada.
