LDS Conference in Review


I just love that we can listen to modern day prophets and apostles! As I mentioned in my LDS Conference-Are You Ready? post, I listen to conference with a list of questions I've prayerfully made. I received so many answers over the weekend, but even more than that I received such an incredible feeling of peace and comfort, a feeling of hope, and an indescribable feeling of love and gratitude. The hard part is to now hold on to these feelings. In an effort to do so, I plan on:
  • Listening and reading conference talks daily
  • Praying sincerely
  • Scripture Study
  • Referring back to the notes I took often
  • Incorporating the changes I felt inspired to do 
  • Using the conference talks as a basis for FHE (I always learn more when I teach it to others)
  • Study the lives of current and past prophets and their wives
  • Study the history of Relief Society
  • Share insights on my blog
Go to LDS.org to watch conference now or it will be available to read after April 7th.

What do you do to keep the feelings from conference alive in your heart over the next six months?

LDS Conference—Are you ready?

I'm so excited for conference! It is such a remarkable blessing to be able to listen to a prophet of God and his apostles, to know what God wants me to be doing. In preparation for the upcoming conference I've been making a list of questions I'd like to have answered. I was introduced to this idea when I was in college. I made a list of questions I had and prayed for answers to come during conference. I had questions about dating/marriage, my college degree, meaning of certain scriptures, etc. My questions were answered in a variety of ways. Some answers came from things said by the speakers, others came from thoughts, and even one from the person I happened to sit behind while attending a session.

After this remarkable experience I have made it a tradition to prayerfully make a list of questions before conference. My questions have always been answered, not always during conference, sometimes during the following weeks, but they have always been answered. 

I've made my list of questions and I'm ready to have a nice weekend learning from modern day prophets and apostles. I've also planned yummy treats and printed off some fun packets I found at sugardoodle.net for my children to do.

What do you do to prepare for LDS Conference?
