Every General Conference, I go through the Prophet's talks and extract a list of specific things he asks us to "do." I usually use the list for my visiting teaching lesson that month and print a copy for each of the sisters, too. This is the list from the April, 2011 General Conference:What Did the Prophet Ask Us To Do?
From April Conference, 2011
Saturday Morning Session
Continue to be faithful in performing temple ordinances.
If you are able, you might consider making a contribution to the General Missionary Fund.
Priesthood Session
Do not subject yourself to the innuendo and outright filth so often found in movies, television shows, and music.
I plead with you not to use profane language.
Stay completely away from pornography.
Avoid alcohol and tobacco or any other drugs, also addictions.
If you have not read the Book of Mormon, read it.
If you don’t have a testimony, do what is necessary to obtain one.
Keep your testimony vital and alive through obedience, prayer, and scripture study.
Attend church.
Young men, attend seminary or institute.
Cease any unrighteousness.
Exercise faith.
Choose a companion carefully and marry in the house of the Lord.
Be fiercely loyal to your companion.
If you have difficulty in your marriage, do all that you can to make whatever repairs are necessary. Do not let your marriage get to the point where it is in jeopardy.
Be honorable and decent men. Actions above reproach.
Safeguard the priesthood. Treasure it. Live worthy of it.
Sunday Morning : The Holy Temple
If you have not yet been to the temple or if you don’t currently qualify for a recommend, there is no more important goal for you to work toward.
Secure a recommend.
Young people: always have the temple in your sights.
Parents of young children: Have a picture of the temple in every bedroom.
Teach your children of the temple’s importance.
Make whatever sacrifices are necessary to attend the temple.
Sunday Afternoon Session
Read and study the conference issue.
Be examples of honesty and integrity.
