Clay and Mitch reported how they have taken action on the following invitations from the April 2025 General Conference addresses delivered by Elder Ricardo P. Giménez, Elder Sandino Roman, and Elder Hans T. Boom:

Elder Giménez:

1. "[President Russell M. Nelson] has invited us to study and ponder the messages shared at the last two conferences. In April 2024, he said, 'I hope you will repeatedly study the messages of this conference throughout the coming months.' Then, in October 2024, he said: 'I urge you to study [the speakers'] messages. Use them as a litmus test of what is true and what is not during the next six months.' These invitations can be added to prophetic invitations we have received throughout our lifetimes, including and especially those we have received in recent years."

2. "Understand that because I love the Savior, I want to learn more about Him by studying the words of the living prophets. And because I love my fellow man, I will share the teachings of prophets, seers, and revelators with others, starting with my loved ones."

Elder Roman:

1. "In a recent youth devotional, you were invited to meditate on a time in your life when you received a ray of heavenly light. Try this exercise! Start by meditating about Christ and the happiness His Atonement and gospel bring to your life. Also, make a record of the 'spiritually defining memories' where God has been there for you, for your loved ones, and for the people in the scriptures. Now, these testimonies will not bring power to your life until the Spirit etches them in the 'fleshy tables' of your heart. So ponder and record all God set in motion for these miracles to come at just the right time. Next, use this exercise as an opportunity to get closer to God. Pray to your Heavenly Father as if it were the first time. Express your love and gratitude for His blessings. Even ask Him how He feels about you and about the direction your life is taking."

2. "Imagine that you are an explorer in uncharted territory. To overcome the obstacles ahead, you need a source of light. Your faithfulness to God and your constant interactions with Him are the fuel for your lantern. So when you encounter dark and perilous situations, instead of walking toward them blindly, you will turn on your lamp filled with the oil of faith in Christ to shed glimmers of hope on the uncertain path."

Elder Boom:

1. "As a family we went through some hardships, just like any other family. These have only made us stronger and have deepened our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ."

2. "To those of the rising generation wherever you are and in whatever situation you may find yourself, please learn and receive strength from the faith and testimonies of those who came before you. … All of us, whether we are the first generation in the gospel or the fifth, should ask ourselves, What stories of faith, strength, and celestial commitment will I pass on to the next generation?"
