The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints General Conference is just around the corner! I was at a friends house when their ministering brothers came over to remind and invite them to watch General Conference this weekend. It sprung the idea to invite my mini sisters to do the same but with a fun activity packet for their kids! So here are the different downloads, links and websites I used to print out a simple yet adorable activity book for adults or children! Before we get started, here is a quick link to watch General Conference live this weekend, April 6th and 7th, 2019 https://www.lds.org/?lang=eng. Most of the pages I put into the personalized packet came from the LDS Church that are available for free on their website. Here is the link to their own LDS Packet, Conference Squares, and listening coloring sheets https://www.lds.org/general-conference/activities-for-children?lang=eng along with a preview below. I also downloaded and printed LDSconf BINGO and other coloring pages. I used to color and then play BINGO throughout the whole conference as a kid, and still find myself wanting to do it today because it is so fun! Here are some printouts that I have for LDSConf activities, click on the google drive links so you can save and download the PDF easily.

I have a link for you to print out this invitation as well which is in clipart form. I try not to use colored ink, and just printed them on fun colored card stock. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5LrPZ_0f2QGb0VzMDRxUXdGc2tzbVRxcXd0RG4xQmlMb2xj/view?usp=sharing HAVE A HAPPY CONFERENCE!

Free LDS General Conference Printable with updated 2018 Apostles and Prophet and info on the back
Many of our readers belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and are Mormons. If you are one of those readers then this post is for you! ; ) For those of you that aren't this post might not be as helpful, but if you want to know more feel free to find out more here or leave a comment! General Conference is coming up! I can't wait to hear words from our living prophet! Sometimes it can be hard to REALLY listen and pay attention with my two young boys and such short attention spans. If you feel the same way then check out some of these ideas to keep the kids happy and attentive! Hopefully it works! ; ) Lds.org has some really awesome Activities for Children. They have done all the work for us! Check out the link for coloring pages, pages to take notes, and conference squares. I LOVE it when all I have to do is print and go! Last year Heather posted about an activity basket she prepared. You can view the full post here. This is what it looks like! ; ) My game plan this year if very similar! I have just regular brown paper bags (I know not fancy or pretty, but it gets the job done) that I will fill with a single item. Some of the items I plan to put in the bags are: Stickers Silly Putty Coloring Pages (thanks lds.org) Magnets Pom poms Toy car candy necklace lacing cards (and other busy bag activities Suckers Candy (lots of it) Healthy Snacks like string cheese, crackers, yogurt, fresh raspberries (these are my 3 year olds absolute favorite! Since some of these will need to be kept in the fridge or freezer I will just place a note in the bag instead of the item. On each bag I will place ONE picture (see below). Each bag will be placed across my entertainment center, and when a new person gets up to talk my boys can search for the right face (find a match) and get a treat or activity to keep them busy while listening to the talks. I realize that their will be speakers that I do not have pictured below. We usually get to hear from members of the 70 and General Presidencies. So during those talks my boys can use some of the other resources I've shared with you! I have created this sheet if you want a fast and easy way to print everything on only one page! Click here to download in a PDF format. Once you print the page above just cut out and staple to brown paper bags. Simple enough right? Here is what mine look like. I would love to hear any other ideas you may have! ; )

Stephen was a leader in the early church. We read about him in the Book of Acts. He was a servant and witness to Jesus, but when the Jewish leadership became angry with him, they stoned him. Paul was among those who wanted him dead.

David and Bathsheba is a tough story to tell to kids, but I think David and Bathsheba is important for kids to learn, so we talk about it slowly and carefully.
Use these fun cards for games of Go Fish or play a fun memory game. You could also play a "Hedbandz" game. Cards are sized about 3.5x5 inches. Includes the First Presidency and the 12 Apostles.

I.CANNOT.WAIT.FOR.CONFERENCE. Nuff said. It seems like general conference always rolls around the corner when I need it the most! To find more about General Conference click here! I decided to create a simple handout that could be used for young women, RS, visting teaching, or primary to encourage them to prayerfully watch General Conference! Last conference I did a "nautical" idea (found here), and this time I decided to do an Oreo theme (maybe you can guess what sweet treat has been on my mind as of late? ha) I figured the following tags could be paired up together, or you could use one or the other! The awesome quote comes from Elder Hales talk, "GENERAL CONFERENCE: STRENGTHENING FAITH & TESTIMONY" which I would totally recommend reading before next Saturday! I felt so uplifted and inspired as I read about how I can make the most of my general conference experience! As usual feel free to use and share my handouts! You can download a PDF file for both the front and back of the handout below by clicking on the links.

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.
