General Authorities and Candy!


*****UPDATED FOR APRIL 2018*****
As a child, my mom helped us learn the General Authorities by their voices. I will always remember the scratchy tone of President Kimball,  the authoritative sound of Elder Bruce R. McConkie. and the fancy words of Elder Neal A. Maxwell. I know you can hear their voices in your head right now! I wanted to help my children recognize their faces too.  Years ago we started the tradition of pasting pictures of the General Authorities on candy and then if the child can name the person they can have the candy. Even though my children are older now and have had opportunity to interact with several of our incredible leaders this is a tradition that  I'm not allowed to neglect.  This year I even sent a huge bag of candy to my missionary son to share with the people he is working with.

Maybe you might enjoy this tradition too. Here's a copy the most updated pictures of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.

Enjoy!!

Session Recap Form

Though it is difficult for me to imagine, not everyone likes to take detailed general conference notes. So.. for these friends, this is a Session Recap form.   Please know, I found one online but I didn't love it so I copied and made some changes.  (I want to give credit to the original writer, but I can't find it.  I will keep looking. :-{ and add an updates. )

So here it is!
