How Will You Prepare for General Conference
These youth got a lot out general conference. How can you prepare to have a meaningful experience?
I Want to Follow the Prophet
I prepared myself for the October 2022 general conference by reading about the Atonement of Jesus Christ in the Book of Mormon and in the Old Testament.
During conference, President Russell M. Nelson spoke to us and testified about the importance of the temple.1 In the temple, eternal blessings are promised, and a beautiful spirit is felt when you go there.
There isn’t a temple in Nicaragua yet, but one has been announced. I hope I can listen to President Nelson’s words and go to the temple when it is finished.
As I watched conference, I felt the Spirit testifying that I was in the right place. I felt like my heart was filled with the love of God.

Healing Is Available to All
Before general conference in October 2022, I reflected on things that had happened in my life recently. Many things were troubling my mind before conference, and I wanted to feel comfort, peace, and strength.
During conference, Elder Quentin L. Cook of the Twelve Apostles said, “Because of the Savior’s Atonement, healing is available to all.”2
Those words gave me peace and hope. Through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, when I make mistakes and wrong choices, I can be forgiven and feel peace. And whatever pain I may be feeling, I can be healed. All of us can feel that same peace and healing as we repent of our sins and strive to become better each day.
