In the October 2019 General Conference, President Russell M. Nelson said:

Thus, the year 2020 will be designated as a bicentennial year. General conference next April will be different from any previous conference. In the next six months, I hope that every member and every family will prepare for a unique conference that will commemorate the very foundations of the restored gospel … Immerse yourself in the glorious light of the Restoration. As you do, general conference next April will be not only memorable; it will be unforgettable.

This can be so difficult to do when you try to add it to your regular Come, Follow Me studies you do on your own and with your children.

To help you out, we’ve created a 30 day study plan of the Restoration that you can do for yourself and with your children to study the beautiful Restoration of the Gospel and prepare for General Conference on April 4, 2020.
