Getting the Most out of General Conference
I too love this time of year and am so excited for this upcoming weekend. It seems the older I get the more excited I become about General Conference. It has become a sort of "super bowl" event for me. I have been thinking for sometime what "traditions" we have done as a family in the past to prepare for General Conference. So here we go:
1. Along with each months new edition of the ensign we keep the last General Conference edition...so we can constantly return and read the 6 month focuses. I also listen to past conference talks in the car as I travel for work.
2. We try to focus the FHE before and after Conference on the importance of listening and heeding the words of the Lords servants.
3. When I was a child my parents made an effort to come up with a type of conference game to keep us envolved in the talks. Conference bingo...etc.
4. I have found now that if I am in sunday dress ( it's hard for me to not to be in shorts and a t-shirt at home) and have materials for note taking; I get so much more out of conference.

I love it all but for the dress standard, the Prophet and pajamas go together!
