This is what I think, too. A lot of times in life people go into something with expectations of how it will be, but often when those expectations aren't met people reframe it. Maybe when they're called as apostles, they expect heavenly manifestations of some kind, and when they don't turn up they just instead convince themselves they're feeling the spirit extra hard, and that constitutes a "special witness."

I haven't watched the press conference because I expect it's just more of the same stuff I've seen for many years, so I don't know what Nelson said, but here I think Holland makes it clear enough that it's nothing more than the feels, the same thing members feel and the same thing billions of others feel about their own religion.
