What Did the Prophet Ask Us to Do?

What Did the Prophet Ask Us to Do?

As I always do, I just compiled the list of "to dos" given by our prophet in the April, 2013 general conference.  I read the talks, looking for directives.  Sometimes he's quite direct, but usually it starts with  "I urge. . . " or "Let us . . ."  or "May you or your . .  "   I don't claim this to be a "perfect list" or that it includes everything we need to do.  It's just my best attempt at gleaning from his talks the things we need to be working on.  I give this as a visiting teaching handout.  I'm grateful for a prophet!
