Preparing for General Conference

In this October's Ensign, we can find inspiring ideas to prepare our families as well as ourselves for General Conference. Whether it be reviewing the talks from the previous General Conference or playing a "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" game (General Authority edition) with your family, I challenge us to prepare ourselves to hear the messages sent to us from a loving Heavenly Father through His servants.

Here is a link I just saw on lds.org that lists many ways to prepare us for this weekend. Enjoy!

Free Resources for iPad and iPhone users

I just downloaded the free application of iBook and searched for "free books."  I spent at least 10 minutes looking and there still were more books.  The works of Charles Dickens, Victor Hugo, Beatrice Potter (reads aloud to children too), Emily Bronte, Hans Christian Anderson, HG Wells, Shakespeare...all the classics are FREE.  No more trips to the library!  Enjoy a classic this summer!

I also downloaded the free application of iTunesU.  I searched for a course that interested me and saw one within the first few seconds.  I have subscribed to the course and can learn something that will help me in my job.  Keep learning this summer!

Enjoy all the free resources that just keep growing in this advancing technological world.
