  2. Thanks for the reminder!

    Do you know if the proceedings will be recorded? I\’m out of the Provo area for the foreseeable future, but would love to have mp3\’s of the presentations.

  3. Julie, would you ask whoever manages the web site to change the location there as well so people don’t show up to the wrong place? I updated it at MormonConferences.org, but people following the link may be confused. Thanks.

  4. I just read your most interesting article on the genealogy in Matthew.
    Something that came to mind that you are probably familiar with is the St. John\’s Bible project…as I recall, they have a beautiful illumination of the Matthew genealogy
