Image via Wikipedia Last night we didn’t do my Repentance lesson for FHE because I’d forgotten that we’d invited the missionaries over to teach the lesson! They came over to teach us a lesson on the Preach My Gospel book that they use to help them learn to be better missionaries. I’ve been trying to [...]

I know I already posted something on April Sharing Times, but I found out that I’m in charge of Sharing Time this week, and that’s a little different. So, here’s my plan for this week: The theme this month (again) is: I will follow the prophet. “Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he [...]

This month’s Primary theme is as follows: I will follow the prophet. “Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets” (Amos 3:7).

If you missed it, you can see it, read it, or listen to it. How? See this web page. Today during the first session of General Conference we had a Solemn Assembly to sustain the new prophet, first presidency, and apostle. It was so cool to stand up and show Heavenly Father that I support [...]

I do not consider myself an expert on this topic.

My own kids have an attention span of 10 seconds [...]

I decided on a new fifth Sunday sharing time. Since next week is General Conference, I thought it would be fun to do a General Conference Sharing Time. Here’s the plan: Talk about General Conference and how we get to listen to the prophet and apostles and other General Authorities there. Read D&C 21:4-6, Amos [...]

This is Colin. General Conference Bingo never changes. But I couldn’t find any prophet bingo games that had Thomas S Monson on them. So for the good of the cause I snaggled about.com’s bingo and added a picture of President Monson, and voila. There’s only one card because we’ll be passing it out in Primary. [...]

General Conference is coming up in a few weeks and before our site crashed I had a list of ideas for how to watch General Conference was a popular post of mine, so I’m going to re-write that post here from scratch. General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a [...]

I read an essay called “I Am a Mother” by Jane Clayson Johnson a few months ago and have been thinking about it off and on ever since. Johnson talks about the nobility inherent in motherhood and the struggle to recognize and declare the value of her role as a mother. I enjoyed the article [...]
