Watching Conference around the World

Because of the time difference, we watch the morning sessions of conference in the evening. We were excited when President Nelson announced the new temples!

Sofia D., age 11, Bratislava Region, Slovakia

We prepare for conference by going shopping for treats and resting so we don’t fall asleep in the middle of conference. We pray as a family for understanding and read the scriptures. I am always excited to listen to a living prophet and hear the word of God.

Runakorwashe S., age 7, Southern Region, Malawi

Watching conference made me want to be close to Jesus Christ. He is the Good Shepherd, and He cares about us, His sheep. Sometimes we wander a little far, but He always comes to look for us.
