Elder Holland, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, was absent because of COVID, President Dallin H. Oaks stated as he officially opened the meeting.
Pat and I love being with you at general conference. Unfortunately, we both tested positive for Covid and are not able to attend this weekend. We will be watching together, hand-in-hand, at home. Like you, I express my gratitude for the Savior this Palm Sunday weekend.
