Our third edition of the popular General Conference Packet is designed to help you kick off the weekend with activities to help your family prepare beforehand, yummy recipes to share with your friends and family, activities to help capture your thoughts, (and your kids’ attention), during the conference, and a post-conference lesson to help your family set goals for the next six months.
