Are you looking for answers?
To what? You might ask... Well I find that most people have questions about life, about family, about friends, how to help, who to help, what to do, etc.
What about questions of why? Why do we do this? How does this help me be a better person? How does this help me in my life?
We might be looking for questions.... We feel like we already know the answers, but what are the questions that we need to ask in order for us to continue to learn?
I find that the most important questions are the ones that look at why we do what we do. Yes, sometimes we don't know what or how to do something, but if we know why we do it, then the what and the how will come.
And that leads me to my invitation. I would like to invite everyone to do something. Will you invite one person to look for answers to their questions at General Conference?
It could be someone you hometeach, a family member, a young woman in the ward, your primary class, a coworker, a nonmember, a less active member, etc.
Invite them to thoughtfully and prayerfully consider a question, and then LOOK for the answer as they attend general conference.

It could be that they will receive a question to ponder as part of general conference. (if they need questions to help them continue to progress)
As part of this, you will need to be willing to fulfill your own invitation. YOU do it with them. That way you will receive answers and so will the person you invite!
I know that our Heavenly Father will speak to us through the Holy Ghost if we are willing to listen and if we are willing to ask. I have seen how during general conference, there is an especially good setting to receive the answers that we are seeking.

We invited our kids to do this very thing last night for FHE. I told the kids they could find answers to any question. "any question?" Kira asked. "Yes," I said. "How about if aliens are real?"
