Without a doubt, attending general conference is a highlight for millions of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

No one living today has delivered more general conference addresses than President Monson, who became president of the church on Feb. 3, 2008. Since being called to the church's Quorum of the Twelve on Oct. 4, 1963, he has delivered 162 general conference addresses. By the end of the coming general conference, which convenes Saturday and concludes Sunday, he will have addressed 166 sessions of conference.
