Elder Neil L. Andersen opened the October 2024 general conference testifying the “eyes of heaven will certainly be focused” on listeners during the semiannual event.
“We will hear the voice of the Lord through His servants,” said the member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. “We will feel the ‘guiding, directing [and] comforting’ influence of the Holy Ghost, and our faith will be strengthened.”
Thirty-three addresses later, and in the concluding message of the conference, Church President Russell M. Nelson acknowledged the truthfulness of teachings given over the weekend.
“In this conference, the Lord has spoken to us through His servants,” he testified. “I urge you to study their messages. Use them as a litmus test of what is true and what is not during the next six months.”
Millions tuned in the weekend of Oct. 5-6 to general conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to hear counsel from general leaders. Latter-day Saints will strive to use their messages “as a litmus test” of truth in the coming months by rereading their direction and acting on their invitations, at home and in church.
