I'm going to admit here that I did not enjoy General Conference as a youth- except for the pajama part. It was a lot of sitting and listening for 2 days straight, and I'd get a little antsy. But now I look forward to it. Like, REALLY look forward to it. It's like Cliff Notes for the Gospel. It's 2 days of soaking in topics that are easy to understand and apply in my life. The talks are helpful, uplifting, inspiring, exciting and even entertaining. But I've learned I get more out of Conference if I go into it prepared. So my invitation to you this month is to spend the next couple weeks getting ready for Conference. What topics do you hope to hear about? What is something you've been pondering about a lot? What is a question you need answered? Do you need guidance to share with someone else? I truly believe that if we go into Conference prepared, we will get so much more out of it. So let's follow Ezra's example in Ezra 7:10- "For Ezra had prepared his heart to see the law of the Lord and to do it." 

I look forward to hearing your thoughts and what you learn from this upcoming Conference.
