General Conference is only a month a way! How can that be?!? We are still working our way using as many talks as we can for Family Night. It has been such a wonderful experience. I have gained so much rereading and studying these talks from conference. I hope my family has too. Last week we focused on Elder Renlunds' talk Family History and Temple Work: Sealing and Healing. You can find all of the free printables in the download at the end of this post. Here's my outline (these are quotes from the talk) Temple blessing activity. Print and cut apart the list of blessings. Put them in a jar or print and put together this cute temple box found here. I copied and pasted in a word document and sized it to fill the page. Put the slips of paper inside and take turns drawing and reading the blessings. Ask the following question and write in the answers on the page. We keep ours displayed on the fridge. We have younger kids and were still able to come up with a pretty good sized list. Our final activity was was a temple match game. Print both pages on cardstock and have fun.
