General Conference Prep – Weekly Countdown

As we prepare for the 200th anniversary of the First Vision and the bicentennial General Conference, President Nelson has asked us to do a few things to prepare our hearts and homes. Each week leading up to General Conference we will be focusing on one small, doable thing. We want to simplify and do this in bite-size pieces. 

This first week, we will be studying the First Vision. You can make this as simple or as in-depth as you like. Some ideas could be to read or listen to Joseph Smith History in the Pearl of Great Price, watch “Joseph Smith’s First Vision” by the Church on YouTube, or show your family a picture of the First Vision and bear your testimony of what happened there. 

For a more in-depth study, here are a few more resources:
