Story of Joseph Smith. Share the gospel with those around us. We are blessed because of Joseph and Hyrum's sacrifice, through this sacrifice the Smith family came to know the Savior, through their trials and tribulations their faith grew.
James Rasband
The Book of Mormon teaches about the Savior's atonement. Story of Alma. The Savior offers us healing when we repent. Those who we have hurt can also be healed by the Savior's atonement. We can be healed when others have hurt us.
Joy Jones
Women's role in the restauration. The righteous women can be an influence in these last days. Becoming Christ like takes effort, hard work and study. Seek and learn and receive revelation from Heavenly Father. We need to increase our spiritual capacity to receive revelation. The Spirit helps us determine which work we should do today. We can't do it all.
Neil L. Andersen
Spiritual defining experiences help us learn about God, faith and many other truths and become embedded in our hearts. Write down your sacred memories, they are from Heavenly Father.
Douglas D. Holmes
Continued revelation through his prophets. Seek for the gift of seeing others as God sees them. Help others to find their true identity and purpose. The unity we seek is to be one with Christ. When we choose to repent we choose to change.
Henry B. Eyring
As he prepared for this conference and followed the counsel of President Nelson, his heart was changed. The work of the last days will require a lot of effort, skill and faith from the Saints.
How can we participate in this work?
Repentance
Having the Holy Ghost in our lives
Personal revelation
Praying with faith
Always remembering Jesus Christ
Keeping the commandments

Bicentennial proclamation to the world
After the Sunday morning session of Conference President Nelson led us in a world wide solemn assembly with a Hosanna shout.
From the church's website: https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/solemn-assembly-hosanna-shout-april-2020
What is the Hosanna Shout?
The Hosanna Shout is a way for Latter-day Saints to give honor and praise to God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ. This is an especially notable act to take place as the Church celebrates the bicentennial of Joseph Smith’s First Vision of Deity. The shout is a symbol of how the crowds reacted to Jesus during his triumphal entry into Jerusalem during the last week of His life. “Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest,” the New Testament record says. Hosanna comes from two Hebrew words that, as used in Psalms 118:25, are rendered in the King James Version as “Save [us] now, I beseech thee.”
