Using This Issue

Preparing for the temple. Several articles in this issue focus on the blessings of the temple (see pp. 18, 23, 26, and 64). Consider recording your feelings as you have prepared for your own temple experiences.

Continuing conference. After reading “Learning from Conference” (p. 30), consider how some of these approaches could affect your family home evenings and personal study. What other ways might you effectively bring the spirit of general conference into your life?

Visiting the sites. You might not have known about the Tomlinson Inn in Palmyra, New York (p. 56), and perhaps you’d like to learn about other places of historical significance. To get more information and to find Church history sites near you, visit www.lds.org. Select About the Church and then Places to Visit.
