We posted a General Conference FHE last conference here. Here it is as a reminder. Included is a memory game that can use this conference's talks. It can be used anytime, maybe even become a family tradition. Maybe even include root beer floats. Yay! Click on the images for the download. Even if you don't have bottle caps we've got you covered. Included are paper caps. Just

This FHE lesson might come in handy this Monday. Or for several FHEs this month. You can download the whole file here. Enjoy the rest of Conference today.
Life's a little slower for us. Yesterday the Rainbow Maker and I did a little art project. Here's how her's turned out. http://ge.tt/3JWzArt/v/0?c It's the Church's 2014 Mutual theme, here with my design. I wanted to see how this type of design would turn out with it. It's a hand drawn, ink drawing and I kind of like it. I did my print on watercolor paper and watercolors. She did here's on smooth art paper and markers.
Here are the values with the design. You can print them off on colored cardstock or white and color them.
And because some of you aren't in YW here is a blank one to use. This might work for youth to color in during General Conference and put a quote in the blank section. Or maybe something for Primary. You can tell us how you thought to use it.
How do you prepare for General Conference? I simply write down the questions I have on a piece of paper then ponder and pray about having those questions answered in General Conference. For me, it's a great way to stay focused and receive personal revelation during conference. You can read President Uchtdorf's three steps for preparing for general conference here. We have a little over a week until General Conference and I am so excited! It's one of my favorite times of the year. I went ahead and made some journal cards that you can download here or click on the images and "save as". You can use the photo protectors found here to slide your journal cards into. {3x5 quote cards} {3x4 question cards-write down the questions you need answers to. on the back write down the answers to that question} {4x6 journal cards}
When I heard this while listening to General Conference I knew I'd share it with you Nesties. I'm sure alot of you remember this. President Thomas S. Monson shared the experience of Jay Hess, an airman who was shot down over North Vietnam in the 1960s: “For two years his family had no idea whether he was dead or alive. His captors in Hanoi eventually allowed him to write home but limited his message to less than 25 words.” President Monson asks: “What would you and I say to our families if we were in the same situation—not having seen them for over two years and not knowing if we would ever see them again? Wanting to provide something his family could recognize as having come from him and also wanting to give them valuable counsel, Brother Hess wrote [the following words]: ‘These things are important: temple marriage, mission, college. Press on, set goals, write history, take pictures twice a year.’”7 Before conference was over (in all honesty probably before her talk was over) I had written my 25 words. Quick. Raw. From the gut. Doing something like that, spontaneously, gets to the instinctual, real thing. Here's what I felt I would say to my family if I were in that circumstance - My 25 WordsLove, learn of, and follow God. At that moment, if I had 25 words that would be it. Sometimes it's just good to hear what others say. One of our blog commenters Pebbles & Pigtails had the same idea about 25 words too. It would also be good to here your words. Have you taken the challenge? |
