Now for the Primary Children (and those who are still young at heart....like my big kids): The following wonderful Resource kit comes from http://www.ldsresources.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/2009-october-general-conference-primary-activity-packet.pdf. It has wonderful photos of Church leaders, games, word searches, etc to make Conference a more memorable event. I appreciate those who have put this together....it's just great!

Finally, Consider having a special Family Home Evening and talk about ways your family can prepare this week to be ready for General Conference. Consider posting quotes, photos, and other things to prepare. My neighbor gets a favorite food for every member of the family that is only to be eaten during Conference weekend. Consider having family over between sessions for dinner. Discuss what you have learned and watch the afternoon session together. Take notes during the sessions and use the information for future Family Home Evening Lessons.

Prepare for this event. We have the opportunity to "Listen to a Prophet's voice". We can do this by radio, television (BYUTV and KBYU). and the Internet. How amazing that we can do this from the comfort our own homes. May the Lord bless you and yours during this wonderful time.
