I didn't expect Jack and Eliza to get very much out of conference, but knew that making it a priority in our family would at least help to establish a pattern for them. Imagine my surprise when I recognized "we stand up inside" on Eliza's notes. And the other pages of notes she took are even better than this one.
And the next day, I was talking to Jack and Eliza about what they remembered from Conference and Eliza started to tell me about the woman she heard speak and what she was saying but she was struggling to remember her name. Jack immediately prompted, "Joy D. Jones!" So awesome.
And we had some conference review time this afternoon. First we all shared something we enjoyed or just remembered from conference (Jack's favorite part was Elder Stevenson's story about his father being prompted to help him avoid the rattlesnake) and then we played a game to see what we remembered from conference. I had 14 multiple choice questions and I put them up on the TV. The girls and boys each had a team and a little dry erase board so they could write their answers and I could see which team answered first. Both teams did very well and I was surprised to see how much they enjoyed the game and got into it. I think this might be a new tradition for us - such a fun way to review some of the things we heard during Conference.
