SUNDAY SCHOOL GENERAL PRESIDENCY

Inspiration STARTS HERE.

General conference is a perfect opportunity for the Lord

to speak directly to you. As the Lord’s servants speak, the

Holy Ghost will testify of Jesus Christ (see John 15:26)

and teach you “all things what ye shall do” (2 Nephi

32:3). Imagine that—as you prayerfully and earnestly

listen to what the speakers say, the Lord can give you

personalized revelation! He will tell you what He wants

you to know, and what He needs you to do. The diagram

below shows how this can work:

SO, START PREPARING NOW TO #HEARHIM.

• Pray to have the Holy Ghost inspire you.

• Write down any ques-tions you might have.

• Make a plan to listen to or read as much of general conference as you can.

LISTEN FOR THE “VOICE OF THE LORD” AS YOU

LISTEN TO EACH SPEAKER (see Doctrine and Covenants 68:3–4)

THE HOLY GHOST WILL SPEAK TO YOUR HEART AND MIND

(see Doctrine and Covenants 8:2–3)

WRITE THE IMPRESSIONS YOU RECEIVE

(see 2 Nephi 29:11)

ACT ON WHAT YOU LEARN AND FEEL

(see John 7:17; 1 Nephi 3:7)

The Lord has inspired each

speaker with specific messages

He wants them to share. He will

also give messages through the

Holy Ghost tailored just for you.

Listen for both as you partici-

pate in general conference.

As you write down the

impressions you receive in

general conference, you

show the Lord your desire to

be taught by Him. As you act

on what He teaches you, you

will become more like Him.

WHAT DO I FEEL I NEED

TO DO TO DRAW CLOSER

TO THE SAVIOR?

teach you as you participate

in general conference. He

Elder Robert D. Hales2

LOVE OF THE SAVIOR

DURING THIS SESSION?

As you listen to or read

the messages of general

“SPIRITUALLY DEFINING MOMENTS COME AS WE PRAYERFULLY LISTEN TO GENERAL CONFERENCE AND AS WE BETTER KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS.”

Elder Neil L. Andersen3

Sunday AFTERNOON SESSION

It is important to listen to the messages each speaker is teaching. It is equally important to

listen to the messages the Holy Ghost is trying to teach you.

WHAT DID I LEARN

ABOUT THE ATONEMENT

OF JESUS CHRIST?

“THOSE WHO WILL ADDRESS US HAVE SOUGHT HEAVEN’S HELP AND DIRECTION AS THEY HAVE

PREPARED THEIR MESSAGES. MAY WE—ALL OF US, HERE AND ELSEWHERE—BE FILLED WITH

THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD AND BE UPLIFTED AND INSPIRED AS

WE LISTEN AND LEARN.”

President Thomas S. Monson4

General conference may be over but your experience with what you learned is just beginning. What

will you do to act on what you heard and felt? You probably have a lot that you feel you can work

on, but you can’t do it all at once. Here are a few questions to help you plan your next steps:

3. What goals can you set to help you begin?

2. Which of these do you feel are most important to act on now?

4. Who can you ask to help you?
