Twice a year, everyone worldwide has a chance to listen to the words of living prophets and apostles! For most, it is a weekend full of family and spiritual nourishment. General Conference happens the first weekends of April and October. It is easy to feel our Heavenly Father's love while we listen to the talks. How can you prepare mentally, emotionally, and spiritually throughout the week? Here are our tips for making the week leading up to General Conference special.
1. Think of questions you may need answered in your life: personal questions, doubts, things you want to improve, or questions you have been praying about.
2. Think of someone and invite them to watch General Conference! Pray for them and share your testimony with them.
3. Listen to a different talk (or two) from the past General Conference every day leading up to the Saturday session.
4. Share about General Conference on social media.
5. Throughout the week, write in your journal about your spiritual impressions, tender mercies, and the ways you have seen the hand of the Lord in your life.
6. Grab some of your favorite snacks and a journal, and stay awake during the sessions. You will understand and receive more answers if your eyes are open and you are alert!
It is such an amazing gift that we are able to hear the word of God directly through the mouths of the leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! What are your favorite ways to prepare for General Conference?
