Did you know that about two months after being organized on April 6, 1830, The Church

held its first general conference? It was held at the Peter Whitmer home in Fayette, Seneca County, New York with

thirty people in attendance.

“Those who will address us have sought heaven’s help and direction as they have prepared their messages. They have been impressed concerning that which they will share with us.” – President Thomas S. Monson, New Era, Nov. 2009, 2–3. In order for YOU to get the most from Conference, write down one question (or more) that you would like an answer to. As the speakers share their messages, listen for specific impressions or thoughts that help answer your question(s).

___________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Once conference is over, decide upon a way you can act upon that which you have heard. “In order for the messages of general conference to change our lives, we need to be willing to follow the counsel we hear. The Lord explained in a revelation to the Prophet Joseph Smith “that when ye are assembled together ye shall instruct and edify each other, that ye may know … how to act upon the points of my law and commandment.” But knowing “how to act” isn’t enough. The Lord in the next verse said, “Ye shall bind yourselves to act in all holiness before me.” This willingness to take action on what we have learned opens the doors for marvelous blessings.” - Paul V. Johnson, “The Blessings of General Conference,” Ensign, Nov 2005, 50.

Did you know that general conference use to be over a three day period, with the annual conference always including April 6? This proved hard when April 6 fell midweek as many had to work or attend school. In April 1977, during Spencer W. Kimball's presidency, general conference was reduced to two days, Saturday and Sunday.

As you listen to conference, jot down four short messages or scriptures that made the biggest impression on you. Cut out them out and post them on your mirror, bed, or dresser so you can remind yourself of these important truths.

For this activity, you’ll need some type of small

snack in different colors or shapes like candy coated

chocolate pieces, different cereals, or jelly

beans. Assign each color or shape a topic before conference starts. Then you can eat the snack each time that topic is

mentioned by a speaker. You can also make your

own sheets with other topics.
