Latter-day Saints from all over the world tuned in to general conference last weekend and were spiritually fed by the words of our prophet and Church leaders.
People turned to Twitter to share their thoughts on the messages and their responses were inspiring, thoughtful, and hilarious. Here are some of our favorites.
1. The new block schedule might be confusing for a while:
Me at church this week: "Wait...is it A day or B day??!!!" 🤔 #GeneralConference #ldsconf — Cody Robbins ||-// (@codiak_2) October 6, 2018
2. God always follows through:
Trust in the Lord. God never writes a check that he can't cash. //For those who are too young to know what checks are... When God says he will venmo you money he does. #LDSconf #ElderRasband — Sistas in Zion (@SISTASinZION) October 6, 2018
3. When Elder Uchtdorf called himself a "German shepherd":
My brother just sent me this and I’m CRYING😂😂😂 #generalconference pic.twitter.com/OOQteBFUcq — Shelby (@shelby_louisee_) October 7, 2018
4. The choir member who was just happy to be there:

5. Elder Bednar used some great visuals:
Six months ago President Nelson: Yeah so, pretty big changes coming next conference, just a heads up that it might be kinda hard to get your talk to stand out Elder Bednar: *signs up for a graphic design class*#GeneralConference #LdsConf — Andrew S. Pumpkins 🎃 (@R_ARich) October 6, 2018
6. She finally got to share her amazing joke:

7. Our prophet may be 94, but he's young at heart:
President Nelson to the other General Authorities...#GeneralConference pic.twitter.com/QaoCJ1FWKs — Hank R. Smith (@hankrsmith) October 6, 2018
8. How does everyone end up with the same one?
Still waiting on the #ldsconf announcement that makes it a sin to keep having the exact same navy blue suit with floral ties for every Utah wedding — and I’m BLAKE the Pumpkin Proletariat (@BLymanWarrior) October 7, 2018
9. A great response for when someone asks if you're "Mormon":
Them: “Are you Mormon?” Me: “People keep asking me that, but I don’t see the resemblance.” pic.twitter.com/WBoZP4bDU4 — Hank R. Smith (@hankrsmith) October 7, 2018
10. Digital marketers were rejoicing everywhere:
Not going to lie, as a digital marketer, having President Nelson use the term "Search Engine Optimization" during #generalconference just warmed my heart. 😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/xzefKdWxoG — John Huntinghouse (@JHuntinghouse) October 7, 2018
11. Addressing the effects of the 10-day social media fast:
Mormon women fasting from social media for 10 days, every recipe site is gonna wonder why nobody is liking and sharing their casserole recipes. Pinterest might shut down. #LDSconf #PresidentNelson — Sistas in Zion (@SISTASinZION) October 7, 2018
12. Everyone got excited when President Nelson started talking about temples:
Let’s turn to the topic of temples.#GeneralConference pic.twitter.com/U5zn47tBz4 — Hank R. Smith (@hankrsmith) October 7, 2018
13. We'll be patiently waiting for the new home-centered gospel study:

15. They must feel relieved after the Sunday afternoon session ends:
I always imagine this at the end of #GeneralConference #ldsconf pic.twitter.com/bpqe3NrMGx — BJ Farish (@BJ_Farish) October 7, 2018
16. Is it even conference weekend if cinnamon rolls aren't involved?
When #Generalconference is over & the cinnamon rolls are still rising #🤦🏽♀️ #momfail #cinnamonrollsforsupper #ldsconf — Ang (@stuckinthetundr) October 7, 2018
17. What a beautiful talk given by Elder Holland:
HOLLAND THANK YOU FOR POINTING OUT THAT YOU ARE STILL ALLOWED TO FEEL PAIN AND YOU DONT HAVE TO BE IN A TOXIC RELATIONSHIP#generalconference — poetic kate (@poetickate) October 7, 2018
18. I don't think the German shepherd tweets will ever get old:
im getting a german shepherd and naming it dieter someone stop me#generalconference — poetic kate (@poetickate) October 7, 2018
19. This is actually pretty accurate:
The staffs of LDS Living, Mormon Hub, LDS Daily, and Mormon Buzzz rn. #GeneralConference pic.twitter.com/VTnrHSGIu0 — A. Whitney Rees (@AriWRees) October 7, 2018

The flesh is weak. All I can think about is... #GeneralConference pic.twitter.com/Kln4Vpra0l — The Sunday Pews (@TheSundayPews) October 7, 2018
22. This quote is so important:
“IF YOUR AGENCY HAS BEEN VIOLATED YOU ARE NOT OFF THE PATH, YOU ARE A VICTIM.” Hallelujah and amen. #ldsconf #generalconference — 🦊 “Spooky” Mulder (@MunchkinMerlin) October 7, 2018
23. You can use the correction of the name of the Church to share the gospel:
“Are you Mormon?” “Nope, he died along time ago. Want to read his book?”#GeneralConference — Hank R. Smith (@hankrsmith) October 7, 2018
24. Things can get a little crazy toward the end of the Sunday afternoon session:
That it. I’ve lost them. The 4 year old is building w blocks & knocking them over loudly with a ‘hiya!’ & the teens are violently throwing candy at each other. #everytime #generalconference #ldsconf #🤦🏽♀️ #momlife — Ang (@stuckinthetundr) October 7, 2018
25. The worst kind of punishment, honestly:
#ElderRenlund looks like the worse punishment he gave his kids was to sit them down, stare deep into their eyes, and softly and sadly say "I'm disappointed in your actions." #ldsconf #generalconference — News Report At Spooky Square (@TheMormonNews) October 7, 2018
26. President Eyring waving to the crowd is so sweet:
President Eyring. So Gangsta. #GeneralConference pic.twitter.com/6U3nYR06Lw — Jordan Pierson (@jnpierson1) October 6, 2018
27. The answer is no. It didn't.
If Mormons take a “social media fast” but don’t announce it first on social media, did it really happen? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #GeneralConfernce #LDSconf #LDS #Mormon — Jason Ludlow (@JasonMLudlow) October 8, 2018
28. Don't let Satan win the petty little war:

29. Did this happen to you?
Mormons on Twitter 90 seconds into #GeneralConference pic.twitter.com/PuYz9Z7613 — Hank R. Smith (@hankrsmith) October 6, 2018
30. Everyone's a little nervous (but mostly excited) about their new responsibilities:
Those of us whose current family home evenings end in tantrums, tears, yelling, and somebody getting grounded are a little nervous... but we trust you Lord, we're gonna give this new #homeschoolchurch a chance. #LDSconf — Sistas in Zion (@SISTASinZION) October 6, 2018
31. What do you do during the prayers?
Classic dilemma of what to do during these televised prayers. #ldsconf — C. Bruce Hilton (@TheConorHilton) October 7, 2018
32. Does online school work count as negative media?
President Nelson called for a 10 day fast from any media that brings negative thoughts into my mind so ya GOODBYE Learning Suite — Hailey Skinner (@HaileySkinner) October 7, 2018
33. Me all. Conference. Long:
Literally every member of the church right now #generalconference pic.twitter.com/tvprNIdL1b — LDS_SMILE (@ldssmile) October 6, 2018
