Reflect on General Conference

As our conference comes to a close, I ask you to reflect in the days ahead not only on the messages you have heard but also on the unique phenomenon that general conference itself is—what we as Latter-day Saints believe such conferences to be and what we invite the world to hear and observe about them. We testify to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people that God not only lives but also that He speaks, that for our time and in our day the counsel you have heard is, under the direction of the Holy Spirit, “the will of the Lord, … the word of the Lord, … the voice of the Lord, and the power of God unto salvation” [D&C 68:4].

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

Being able to sit and take in the messages of men and women of God is such a blessing. Every once in a while, something reminds me that I am more than just a teenage girl in a small town. I am a daughter of Heavenly Father whose destiny is so much bigger than anything I can comprehend. How fantastic is that! Conference was that reminder for me, and I’m so thankful for the opportunity to hear, in the words of Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, “mortal messengers [deliver] angelic messages.”

Kayli L., 18, New Mexico, USA

As I listened to conference I felt the Spirit so much. I thought of how awesome it was that we have a living prophet to guide us. I received a feeling of peace, and I knew that everything said was said for a reason. I can’t wait for the next conference.

Faith C., 14, New York, USA

I really liked how there were so many talks about families. They made me so excited for my future family. It also helped me know how to deal with my siblings now and that we are all children of a Heavenly Father.
