Today I gave the kids a packet to complete while they are watching General Conference. In it I outlined what we must do to prepare, nest, what to do during and last but not least, what to do after General Conference.
Basically they are to pray for the leaders who will be speaking, they need to pay close attention and take notes on the things they had prepared for us and lastly they are to continue re reading and discussing the talks with their families for the following six months. We did some other activities and also went over the talks from April.
If we don't look at those talks ever again they will soon be forgotten. Some of the talks that stood out for me were:
Our four minutes by Bishop Stevenson.
Be grateful in any circumstance by elder Uchdorf, he said:" How much of life do we miss by waiting to see the rainbow before thanking God that there is rain."
How to protect our families from pornography sister Reeves said; 'the only thing that really need to be accomplished in the home are daily scripture study, prayer and weekly family home evening and the gospel is not weight it is wings it carries us."
Defend your believes with courtesy but defend them by elder Holland,
What he asks of each one of us is to be able and willing to take up to joyful burden of discipleship, by Rasband.
We best serve our father in Heaven by righteously influencing and serving others, by elder Scott, Obedience is taught by example and obedience is not weakness by elder Hales,
I pray that we will not lose sight of the way by elder Zivic,
The willingness to see through another's eyes will transform corrupt communication into ministering grace, by elder Zwick,
You are infinitely more precious to God than a tree and sometimes you have to stand alone by Andersen,
You hold in your hand the happiness of more people than you can imagine and righteousness must be chosen and leave a priceless inheritance of hope by elder Eyring,
Let your faith show by elder Nelson.
"We are not, and never need be alone" elder Bednar
The eternally significant blessing of uniting our own families is almost beyond comprehension by elder Cook.
"Help wanted: Light and truth, serve as a mentor, listen to promptings, live the Gospel daily, so family history, become a missionary, rescuers, covenant keepers, true disciples step forward in righiousness" sister Burton
" Every child of God in mortality chose the Savior's plan. Trust that given the opportunity, they will do so again."
