Making the Most of Conference
Hello all! It is a favorite time of year, the leaves are changing and we get to hear from out inspired leaders (BYU is playing the Aggies, I am from Cache Valley so this is a big game!). To help one another get more out of conference for the next six months I hope to have you folks comment or post what you or your family as done in the past to make it a fun spiritual experience! I want some good ideas to practice or even make tradition with my wife and boys!
Here is mine. I like to run, trouble is it takes time. So to justify my time investment in running I have been "Running with the Bretheren" for the last four years. Meaning I put their talks onto my iPod then I listen to them while I run. You might be wanting to heave as you think about physical exertion and conference, that it would be boring, but it has helped me to focus on the words and messagesmore than on the pain my body is feeling. I promise that it was conference that got me through my first marathon! Maybe this doesn't help us for this weekend, but "Running with the Bretheren" has truly been a blessed expereince! All but the priesthood talks are available within a week after conference. I buy the CD's so I can have the priesthood talks too. Happy posting!

My husband would put the talks on his ipod when he walked to work. (Now he drives so that doesn't work). I seriously could tell a difference in his day when he got to walk to work and listen to the prophet and apostles. Great idea you have!
