I was reading about General Conference the other day and read this quote by Pres Uchtdorf -
"The words spoken at General Conference should be
a compass that points the way for us during the coming months."
Being a visual kind of a gal I thought about that imagery and how it would fit into practical terms with General Conference. For me, there is so much said at conference that's inspiring. I often hear one talk and think, "Oh that was wonderful. I'll think on that some more and take some action on it," only to hear in the next talk something that equally moves me. Talk after talk that happens.
Making a record in a journal is one idea but something a little more interactive for kids to keep their attention and that helps remember past the last speaker is what I was after. One thing lead to another and now we have, Our General Conference Map.
It's large like a map, 20" x 30". (I also copied one off that was 40" at its widest point and it turned out just as well. Print at any size you want.) Have it printed off at a copy store on their blueprint machine. During conference place it on a table with some markers and chart your own conference course. As a remembrance, put it up on the wall to be reviewed during the coming months. Or fold it up, map style, and keep it with your scriptures to refer back to during the next 6 months.
You can download it from the here. Easy.
This is the first version so tell me what you liked or how you used it and I'll consider it for version 2. Tell me below.
