BEFORE CONFERENCE

• Start thinking now about questions or concerns you have. Write them down, and pray that you will find solutions and guidance during conference and pray for those who are assigned to speak. • Do those things which invite the Spirit into your life so you will have a better understanding of what will be taught. • Have a willing heart, ready to obey the words of the prophets.

• Pray • Fast

DURING CONFERENCE

• Attend or view all the sessions • Listen carefully—not just to the speakers, but to the prayers and songs also. • Keep notes, including any inspiration you might receive during conference. • Listen earnestly for answers to the questions you have. • Between conference sessions, participate in activities that will invite the Spirit.

AFTER CONFERENCE

• Follow the prophets by obeying their counsel. • Remember the inspiration you had while you were listening to conference. Make goals right away to motivate you to do what you felt inspired to do. • Reread the conference talks in the Church Magazines. Studying the words of the prophets again will help you remember their most current counsel for you.
