Each month, LDS youth around the world study a different doctrinal principle that is coordinated across Young Men, Young Women, and youth Sunday School classes. The topic for May is Prophets and Revelation. Youth will learn to recognize the voice of the Lord as He speaks through the scriptures, living prophets and apostles, and personal revelation by the Holy Ghost. Youth will learn to love and trust the word of the Lord so that when they are faced with trials or difficult decisions—now and in the future—they will naturally and automatically turn to the scriptures, prayer, and the words of the living prophets for guidance. Parents, grandparents, siblings, and leaders can help the youth learn these doctrines if they will study the doctrines themselves and regularly discuss the doctrines with the youth during the month. Below is a list of the lessons that may be taught during the month. Quorum and class presidencies and leaders will use the Spirit to determine what is taught.
