ready or not...here we go!!

So looking forward to General Conference!  I fit the category of GC geek!  or would GC nerd, be the right label?  Whatever you want to call me...a groupie?...I'm mad about GC!!!  I'm ready for it, as best I can be, for me.

Now I'm thinking that there won't be some huge major change but just a plea to live the Gospel and be more Christ-like and share the message?  That Ensign article by President Nelson just got to me.  big time.  Now I feel at peace and that is what I always seek.  Peace.  Not ever knowing exactly what any outcome will be but always knowing that He is aware and President Nelson is thus aware and I just need to listen to Him and him and the Holy Ghost.

I thought this was so interesting.  I'd never tied all of this together, had you?.... Here

Did you see this!?  by President Nelson.  Love it!!

During trying times, few things are as reassuring and comforting as truth. The Apostle Paul foresaw our day and prophesied that trying times would come. He added that MANY would be ever learning, but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

What is true is that amid the gloomy darkness of a troubled world, the light of Jesus Christ shines ever brighter. He can speak truth to our hearts and minds as we seek Him and learn to hear Him.

In this regard, we look forward to the upcoming general conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on April 4–5, during which we will hear from Church leaders about the glorious Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ and how His gospel brings peace to our lives.

want a quick review?  sort of a scan exam?  like checklists?  Here you go!

How President Nelson Has Invited Us to Prepare:

Study Joseph Smith's account of the First Vision as recorded in the Pearl of Great Price. More resources at Restoration.ChurchofJesusChrist.org. Ponder questions like "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?" Select your own questions. Design your own plan. Take steps to hear the Savior better and more often. For ideas, visit HearHim.ChurchofJesusChrist.org. To the sisters: Study prayerfully about the restoration of the priesthood and how to draw upon that power, beginning with reading Doctrine and Covenants sections 25, 84, and 107. Look for opportunities to share your feelings about the Lord Jesus Christ with your family and friends. ************************

here is another goodie of info!  What a great list!  Crash course in viewing all of Joseph Smith's First Vision accounts!  Technology...amazing!  what great research was done!

another amazing thing....

The 2020 April Conference will be unique due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. In February as events in the world were only starting to unfold and before Church meetings had been cancelled, Choir leaders were asked to have the conference music selections prerecorded for use if the need arose. These recordings were made after Music & the Spoken Word broadcasts while the Choir was still able to meet before restrictions on assembling large groups were put in place.

Choir members have remarked that their feelings during these rehearsals and recordings were deeper, more profound, and more powerful than other previous conference preparation experiences. They have all felt the chaos and tumult of the world but understand that now more than ever the world needs the power of music to uplift us, to help us find peace and comfort, and to bring us closer to Jesus Christ.
