I didn’t get to tweet as much for general conference this year as I did last — spent the day Saturday working on the websites, and then discovered late that evening there was a conference in New York I should be at, so I spent this afternoon traveling by bus to the Big Apple. I tried to retweet as much as possible, but the internet access on the bus was…

We did our Children’s Sacrament Meeting Presentation last Sunday – it was fun and beautiful – and I love having our program just before General Conference. We had a nice break from regularly scheduled meetings, and now I am excited to go back and sing …

I would like to begin my talk by reading part of a scripture: “Every soul who believeth … , and is baptized by water for the remission of sins, shall receive the Holy Ghost (D&C 84:64).” President Packer spoke about the Holy Ghost in the following October 1994 General Conference. I will read some part of his talk: Following baptism, in the ordinance of confirmation, you received, or will receive,…

Our primary is singing a couple songs for stake conference in two weeks, which we are just now learning. Because time is so short, I made a fun handout for the children to take home. It’s simply a smaller scan of the visuals I made to teach with in Pri…

Following a successful outing, the pilot returned to retrieve them. However, he quickly informed the fishermen that his small plane would not support them,…

This is part of an email I sent out with our ward calendar as a general conference report. I’m copying it here because of the social networking links. I’m going to take a bit of liberty and make a General Conference report here — not on the talks — but on how the Church is using technology to help us use the messages from our prophets and leaders. So if…

Here’s the video at Mormon Messages: Materials should be delivered to units worldwide in June, and use should begin immediately.

(Why I shouldn’t bake….) With LDS General Conference fast approaching, I am facing my semi-annual dilemma: to Tivo or not to Tivo? It’s rough to take out 4 hours during the day right at garden planting time to sit in front of the television for Conference. And to be totally honest, I haven’t stayed awake through the second Saturday session since I was in High School — blame those bum-flattening…
