I listen to YouTube quite a bit. Yes, listen! I came upon one the a channel I love “Latter-day Divers” that was thought provoking that I wanted to share it with you.

First watch the video 37 Questions President Nelson Has Asked Us At General Conference.https://youtu.be/biUl-r6vXM4 Then, I have listed each of the questions so you can take some time to read and answer each one at your own pace. Perhaps even add this to your journal.
