“People are wondering if there will be Apostles chosen at this conference,” Elder Nelson said in a conversation with the Church News on September 29. He said there probably will be announcements of new Apostles, “but that is a matter between the Lord and His prophet.”
“There have been conferences where a vacancy has not been filled,” he explained. “President Heber J. Grant had announced to the Twelve that ‘so and so’ would be called, but it didn’t happen. Members of the Twelve asked him when the conference was over why he didn’t fill the vacancy. He replied that the man he said would be called wasn’t ready yet.” -President Russell M. Nelson
President Nelson Speaks about Vacancies in the Quorum of the Twelve (full article)
I found this article this morning and thought it was really interesting. It seems everyone is talking about meeting our new Apostles this Conference--a likely assumption. According to this article, it may or may not happen the way we expect.
Whether we meet our new leaders or not, I'm SO EXCITED for General Conference weekend! It's always such a blessing to me.

Joseph Fielding Smith was call from the pulpit, I think it was in 1906, as he was entering the tabernacle the usher asked him who he thought the new apostle would be.
His reply was a classic, He said "I don't think it will be you and I know it won't me me" 20 minutes later he was called from the pulpit.
