Why I Listen to General Conference

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints welcomes all to join with millions of people worldwide to hear inspiring messages of hope and renewal from living prophets and apostles during the upcoming general conference on Saturday and Sunday, April 1–2, 2023.

Engaging with this religious broadcast helps individuals learn about Jesus Christ, strengthen their personal relationships with the Savior, and experience the peace, hope, and joy that come through following Him. All Latter-day Saints, friends of the Church, and others are encouraged and invited to participate in general conference on Palm Sunday weekend.

“General conference provides an opportunity to receive personal revelation as general Church leaders give counsel and direction,” the First Presidency of the Church wrote in a March 2 letter meant to be read in congregations. “We encourage members to listen to, study, ponder, and apply the counsel given.”

My mother just passed away this month. She had a BEAUTIFUL singing voice and a TREMENDOUS testimony of Jesus Christ and His true Gospel 💜🙏🏼🎶
This conference, I'm excited to listen for her angelic voice praising God with the Tabernacle Choir 🦋⚘️
She's a PRICELESS spirit, and I feel her all around us🫂

As a single mom we’ve always watched it too. I always look forward to hearing the messages. My son is a Deacon now and is challenged to come up with questions, so this will be fun. 😊

Church meetings have changed amazingly in the past 50 years. I can remember going in morning and coming home before dinner. Satellite broadcast from Salt Lake City for conference. There something to be said for technology, it's made the Saints lazier. Fellowship is almost non-existent. I can remember Home Teaching, going to visit others in their homes. If I don't say a word in Elders quorum no one will visit my home. Non-existent, no calls, no visits, no mailings. I have a Teacher 13 ysars old who visits me once a week to play Magic the Gathering. His father is the Bishop. I am in my later years, all my family is gone on to Heavenly Father. I sit at home and work on family history, go to the Temple and Sunday meetings. Life was better without technology...because it makes people lazier.

I always listened to General Conference and it's a great way to listen to our leaders. Also We are learning from our Prophet and the 12 apostles the messages that Heavenly Father wants us to know. ❤❤❤❤❤
