The Saturday afternoon session is when the sustaining votes were called for the general authorities of the church. It included the calling of five new brethren to the presidency of the seventy. (It was the morning session where the solemn assembly took place sustaining the new First Presidency and two new apostles.) This replaced the two members of this group who had become apostles. The Young Women General Presidency was also reorganized.
After the sustaining votes, while people were taking their seats on the stand, someone from the audience yelled three times: "Stop Supporting Sexual Predators." It sounded to us like a man, but later was reported to be a woman who was asked to leave. The person was seated not too far from us. I figure this had reference to my former mission president who has been in the news.
We were favored with some excellent discourses. This included Elder Devin Durrant, Sister Bonnie Oscarson, Elder David Bednar and Elder Dale Renlund, Elder Kevin Jergensen, Elder Taylor Godoy and Elder Taniela Wakolo. Jeremy found us a couple times in the TV feed.
