General Conference Weekend


Twice a year the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints holds General Conference . With the modern technological advances available throughout the world many more are able to enjoy talks given by the First Presidency and other leaders of the Church.

I found a neat “
children’s pack ”, a way to help young people enjoy quiet time by coloring or doing puzzles especially made for General Conference. I looked the pack over and thought it would be nearly as much fun for adults so you might want to get another box of Crayons and print out a second set of pages. Thanks and a tip of the cap to Jen.

Edited same day:

One of Lucy's friends sent the following joke:

President Thomas Monson was returning to Salt Lake City after a speaking engagement and when his Plane arrived there was a limousine there to transport him to his home.

As he prepared to get into the limo, he stopped and spoke to the driver. 'You know' he said, 'I am getting pretty old and I have never driven alimousine. Would you mind if I drove it for a while?'

The driver said, 'No problem. Have at it.'

President Monson gets into the driver's seat and they head off down the highway. A short distance away sat a rookie Highway Patrolman operating his first speed trap.

The long black limo went by him doing 70 mph in a 55 mph zone.

The trooper pulled out and easily caught the limo and he got out of his patrol car to begin the procedure.
The young trooper walked up to the driver's door and when the glass was rolled down, he was surprised to see who was driving. He immediately excused himself and went back to his car and called his supervisor.

He told the supervisor, 'I know we are supposed to enforce the law.. But I also know that important people are given certain courtesies. I need to know what I should do because I have stopped a very important person.'

The supervisor asked, 'Is it the governor?'

The young trooper said, 'No, he's more important than that.'

The supervisor said, 'Oh, so it's the president.....'

The young trooper said, 'No, he's even more important than that.'


The supervisor finally asked, 'Well then, who is it?'

The young trooper said, 'I think it's Jesus, because he's got President Monson for a chauffeur!'
