If you were to ask me what my favorite holiday is I would quickly respond...General Conference. Really! Think about it. Christmas comes just once a year, but Conference TWICE!!! There are so many great things about General Conference! Why don't we list just a few reasons why General Conference is by far the best holiday of the year. I will list only the top four.1. You get to listen to the General Authorities of the church for 8 hours if you're a girl, and 10 hours if you're a boy. Talk about drink from a spiritual fire hose!
2. Thanks to the technological advances
we can listen to Conference in our house, on our comfortable couch, in our pajamas if we so choose.3. Priesthood Pie! This is the highlight for me. We get together with all the girls and make treats for the guys while they are at Priesthood session. Then when the guys get back we sit around the table and listen to what they were taught at Priesthood Session and eat good treats. Nothing is more fun then just hanging out with your family and talking about what is really important.
4. There are no holiday decorations involved. No presents to buy!
Just hang out with your family and listen to the Prophet's voice. Now I think you agree? It is the best holiday right? :) Even the ducks liked watching Conference.
So there might be a question about the picture of the puzzle. What does a puzzle have to do with Conference? Well, one of my favorite memories of Conference as a kids, was that the Friday night before Conference we would go to the store and we would each get to pick out a puzzle to do during Conference. It was a way to keep us entertained and still listen. So I was in charge of date night this week and I remembered about the puzzle tradition. We picked out an easy 750 piece puzzle and we worked on it Friday night while watching Music Man. Not a bad date if you ask me. It was really fun. We finished the puzzle on Saturday night after all the Conference Festivities were over.I hope you all enjoyed Conference as much as we did. What was your favorite talk? Not picking just one is easy. :)

My favorite Talk was Elder Holbedoarinlister's.
I can't decide whose talk i like the best. I sure got a lot out of Elder Holland's Elder Bednar's, Elder Oak's, President Eyring's and Elder Callister's. A-MAZING!
I feel so lucky that we got to watch every session, and that I only nodded ONCE!! I'm not saying which talk, though.
I feel so spiritually energized, and my body feels like it's part of the couch. Yikes! Gotta run tomorrow!
What was my favorite? I shall pick one from each session.
Saturday Morning--Elder Uchtdorf or Elder Edgley
Saturday Afternoon--Elder Worthlin and Elder Kopischke
Priesthood--??? President Eyring's sounded really good.
Sunday Morning--ALL OF THEM!!!!!
Sunday Afternoon--Elder Callister and Elder Oaks.
But I'm aloud to change my opinion and add to this list as I read and listen to the talks more.
I like the puzzle idea for date night or for conference! Maybe this friday dave and I will have puzzle night! any other good date night activities? I really like conference too especially now that we have BYU Tv. My favorite talks were Elder Wirthlin's and Sister Beck.
For conference this year my family came over and we had a little pot luck in between sessions. It was great!
My favorite (or at least the one that I payed the best attention to) was President Eyring's in the priesthood session.
I haven't seen Conf. yet actually. We get to go to the Stake Center this weekend and watch it all there.
The puzzle idea is great. We have actually done that for a date as well - when we were poor college students.

Hmmm....my favorite talk so far was probably Richard C. Edgley's.
The one I watched the closest was Joseph B. Wirthlin, because I was afraid that he might fall down.
