General conference highlights an expanding church and a reopening Temple Square

Two young sister missionaries on Temple Square stopped to talk with me this weekend, and the conversation quickly turned to how this weekend’s general conference felt much like Temple Square was opening up again. Nation flags went up the new flagpoles on Wednesday as part of the renovation of the Church Office Building plaza, which reopened in January. The standby line for tickets to the Conference Center reopened Saturday for the first time since 2019.
