How Do You Hear Him?

April 2020 General Conference

This conference was certainly like no other! We commemorated the 200th anniversary of the First Vision and Restoration while striving to stay safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. Members of the Church around the world gathered for the 190th annual general conference in their homes.

The talks themselves were delivered in a location other than the Conference Center: an auditorium in the nearby Church Office Building on Temple Square. Aside from the people who spoke, prayed, or conducted, the auditorium was empty. The music was prerecorded too.

President Russell M. Nelson and other speakers invited us to “hear what the Savior says and then to heed His counsel,” and they promised blessings as we do.

As you study the excerpts from the conference talks, think about how you can follow President Nelson’s invitation. How will you “Hear Him”? What will you do differently?
