President Russell M. Nelson announced a home-centered and church-supported arrangement for church meetings.
“It is time for a home-centered church,” says President Nelson.
The Church block will now be two hours.
After the announcement, social media went crazy and here are some of the best reactions.

So this is how I understand it:
2 hours in the homes of other members and 1 in church!?
But that what about Primary, Youth, Relief Society & Priesthood!?
I do not think I am eveb cimprehending this correctly!!??
