President Nelson’s Invitations at October 2019 General Conference Invitations: “Study prayerfully section 25 of the Doctrine and Covenants and discover what the Holy Ghost will teach you.” “Study prayerfully all the truths you can find about priesthood power. You might begin with the Doctrine and Covenants 84 and 107.” Prepare for April 2020 general conference by “reading afresh Joseph Smith’s account of the First Vision as recorded in the Pearl of Great Price.” “You may wish to ponder important questions such as, ‘How would my life be different if my knowledge gained from the Book of Mormon were suddenly taken away?’ or ‘How have the events that followed the First Vision made a difference for me and my loved ones?” Incorporate the recent Book of Mormon videos into our study. “Select your own questions. Design your own plan. Immerse yourself in the glorious light of the Restoration.” Promise: “As you do, general conference next April will be not only memorable; it will be unforgettable.” President Nelson’s Invitations via Social Media November 17, 2019 – Invitation: “Always ask yourself–and prayerfully ask your Father in Heaven–’What can I do to become more like Jesus Christ?’” Promise: Miracles will happen.
