Watch General Conference and write down the impressions you receive from the Spirit.
General Conference is a special time when the prophet and his apostles address the whole church worldwide. This is a time when we as members of the church have the opportunity to receive counsel from the leaders of the church. Heavenly Father has called these people to lead us at this time. The counsel we receive during General Conference is for our time and our situations.
As we listen to the talks given at conference we have the opportunity to gain personal revelation. The Lord will speak to us through the mouths of his servants. Listen to conference with a willing mind and heart. Write down the impressions you get from the Spirit.
Be happy watching General Conference!

Be Happy Challenge #4
Ponder, through scripture study and prayer, a question you would like answered.
This weekend is General Conference weekend, and one of the ways we as sisters can prepare to be instructed by the prophet and apostles is by thinking of a question we would like answered; it can be about a gospel topic, a personal question, or anything that you feel you need an answer to, and then ponder this question throughout the week by praying about it and studying the scriptures. Then before each session of General Conference say a prayer asking Heavenly Father to reveal his will for you through the conference talks.
This will make General Conference more meaningful and will help you draw closer to your Heavenly Father which will make you happy.
Ponder questions and be happy!

Be Happy Challenge #3
Converse with your Heavenly Father. Seek guidance by praying every morning and night this week.
Today in sacrament we were counseled by our bishopric and their wives. Some of the counsel we were given included testimony about the power of prayer. Prayer is the way that we communicate with our Father in Heaven, and it is a two-way form of communication. Our Heavenly Father answers prayers. The power of prayer includes many blessings.
In D&C 10:5 it says, "Pray always, that you may come off conqueror; yea, that you may conquer Satan, and that you may escape the hands of the servants of Satan that do uphold his work." Satan is real, he knows our weaknesses, and he wants us to be miserable like he is. He will do anything to tempt us to make choices that draw us away from our Father in Heaven. Prayer is something that gives us power over the adversary. It brings us closer to Heavenly Father and gives us protection from the adversary.
As you pray this week. Pray for guidance and blessings, and also express gratitude for the blessings you receive. Prayer is a powerful tool that can bring many blessings and much joy.
Remember to pray and be happy this week!

Be Happy Challenge #2
Preform an act of service for a sister in the ward everyday this week.
This challenge of preforming an act of service for a sister is something that can be really simple. An act of service can be anything from text messaging a sister and asking her about her day to picking something up for a sister while at the grocery store. Service is not always about doing a physical act for someone, although sometimes that is the best way to lift someones burdens; service is about taking the time to think of someone else. Service is about being selfless.
As you think about the sisters in our ward, remember that everyone has their challenges and trials, and that part of being in Relief Society is providing relief for your fellow sisters in the gospel.
Serve and be happy!
