General Conference
Do you ever feel a little bored, disconnected, or tired when general conference rolls around? This cool packet will help keep your interest while listening to the servants of the Lord. It’s free, colorful, and it helps you look for the important parts of conference. I had a similar packet last year, and I was able to not only stay awake through the whole thing, but truly listen to the words that were spoken, all while having fun. So don’t look at listening to talks for a couple of hours at a time discourage you from receiving the blessings of following the Lord’s will.

“And if it seem evil to unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: be as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

“Humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less.”
—C. S. Lewis
“Is not this the fast that I have chosen? To loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to they house? When thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the Lord shall be thy reward.” —Isaiah 58:6-8
