- 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.

- Be awake for conference. Get a good night’s sleep!

- Prepare a notebook, pens, your scriptures, and anything else you

might need.

- Attend or view all the sessions, including the priesthood session for

priesthood bearers or the General Young Women Meeting for women.

- 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.

- Follow the prophets by obeying their counsel.

- Re-read your notes. 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.

- Re-read the conference talks in the November Ensign. Studying the words of the prophets again will help you

remember their most current counsel for you.
