Preparing for Conference

I have friend who probably somewhere in her house is a sign for her boys to read that says General conference is coming are you ready? There is probable another sign close by with a snack wish list sign up sheet.

Here is a list on what to do to get ready.

A list of ideas for preparing for General Conference to get the most out of it:

  1. Make a list of specific questions or issues you're working on and would like help with.
  2. Fast about a specific topic before Conference
  3. Pray
    • To feel the Spirit
    • About one or all of the things on your list
    • For the speakers
  4. Learn about the General Authorities' lives, families, etc.
  5. Have a Family Home Evening about General Conference (how to act during, what happens, who speaks, etc.)
  6. Read your Patriarchal Blessing if you have it
  7. Get plenty of sleep the night before
  8. Do all your cleaning and chores before Conference if you can
  9. Set out your clothes the night before so you can be dressed and ready to listen without looking around for what to wear. Consider reverence and comfort when choosing your clothes for the day.
  10. Plan to discuss the talks after you watch Conference. This helps you pay attention because you know you'll have to have something interesting to say about it later.
  11. Plan to listen for which talk to focus on for your Visiting/Home Teaching lesson
  12. Plan and shop for meals the day before. Have a Conference food tradition.
  13. Plan where and how to watch Conference in advance.
  14. Find your journal or whatever you take notes in. Find a pen, too.
  15. Read talks from the last General Conference.
If you don't already know I love General conference.
