There are now 16 different General Conference lesson plans for October 2025. Because of other major projects and upcoming deadlines in my life, this is the total number I will write for now. Each six-month period, we have 10 General Conference RS/EQ meetings – so I hope, hope, hope that 16 will cover most of the ones you are assigned. Good luck with your teaching and many wonderful blessings to you as you serve. We are so grateful for teachers!
Elder Jackson’s talk is amazing. Very good. It is bishop and leadership training. Every bishopric should watch that video and decide how they’re going to make it happen in their ward. Then the RS, YW, YM, Primary and EQ presidencies should be trained and tasked with how to make that come alive in their prospective organizations.
I love your 5 highlights and was wondering if you are planning anymore for October conference. I’m teaching on Elder Stevenson and Elder Gong’s talks and would love to use your highlights. Thanks for your wonderful content!
Will you be highlighting any other talks from October 2025 conference.
Yes, continuously. I will keep going until about the middle of November. Next on the list is Elder Kearon.
Dear sister Cannon,
In your busy schedule—would you be able to use your beautiful magic 🙂 and put together a lesson plan for Elder Matthew S. Holland’s talk? “Forsake Not Your Own Mercy”.
I would love to be able to share this lesson in RS, and my husband will use it in Elders Quorum as well. If you’re not able, of course I understand. I most definitely will try to use your Lesson help guide, and hope it will be okay. Thank you so much for everything you do to help our lesson discussion be more successful, inspiring and uplifting!
You are incredible!!
Hello Patricia and all my dearest, esteemed teachers. You who seek out resources to better your lessons – I love what you are doing! I wish I could do every speaker, especially the one you are looking for. This site gets about 40k visitors a month and the data shows the apostles and the better sister speakers are the ones most of the traffic wants. So I do the apostles first and possibly the sisters. I know we had other wonderful speakers who were awesome. Occaisionally I will do others, but not a lot.
Nonetheless, have confidence in yourself. You can put together a great lesson. Pick five quotes, go from there. This page will give you in depth details how to do it…how I do it. I want you to be successful. Teaching is a life-long skill and many of us love you for being willing. Grab your highlighters and try this page if your speaker is not yet up. 5 Steps to a Great Lesson. The Spirit loves you and wants you to be successful.
You are amazing! I noticed today you already have posted 5 incredible talks for us to use in our lessons. What a blessing this is! Thanks again sister Cannon for your faithful service and dedication with these amazing talks! Blessings to you always!
Patricia D.
Thank you Patricia, It’s a labor of love. The thought of people having uplifting and great discussions about the gospel is most motivating for me. I’m so glad you enjoy them.
I am grateful for your willingness to make general conference talks come to life. You do such beautiful work with these inspired talks. I am a RS teacher and I am excited to use your lesson guide in our little branch in NE. I honestly enjoy our discussions during our Sunday lesson time, with more confidence, thank to you. Thank you for sharing your time, your knowledge, and wonderful insights with so many of us whom we have the blessing of sharing these extraordinary lessons with the RS sisters. We all benefit greatly from your service!
I look forward to your help and new insights with some of the October 2025 general conference talks.
Patricia
Thank you Patricia! I really appreciate your sharing that. I just finished and posted President Oaks Oct 2025 talk and it was HARD, because it was 17 minutes long and capturing it in a meaningful way took some real work. I will keep going until I get all apostles and sisters plus a couple others. Sweet blessings you always. Shawnie
Will you be doing additional talks from this oct conference?
Yes, currently working on Elder Kearon’s and then doing Elder Andersen. I will do Elder Gong eventually. I plan on writing these lesson plans until about the middle of November.
Oh Thank you I am excited for the Elder Gong talk 🙂
I am extraordinarily grateful for your willingness to do this work and make these beautiful talks into inspiring and thoughtful lessons. Our RS presidency uses them and we enjoy robust and sweet discussions during our Sunday lesson time. Thank you for sharing your time, knowledge, insights and talents for those of us who benefit greatly (and need all the help we can get!)
Your lovely comment meant so much! I’m tickled to know these lesson plans are put to good use. Thank you for taking the time to let me know. Many blessings to you!
