Sunday, October 4

So what do you all think?

So I (Stephen) had (got) to teach the sharing time lesson in primary last Sunday (the 27th). While I was preparing I had the idea come to me that a great way to help encourage myself (and others) to read conference addresses would be if I got a bunch of people to help. So this is my idea: make a blog that once a day someone posts a conference talk (or other Ensign article) on the blog and then makes a comment about why they chose it and how they can apply it into their life. Then everyone else that is participating (preferably at least 4 more but less than 7 (everyone needs a turn) people) will do the same. I have been sitting on this idea all week knowing that after general conference this weekend that people may feel a greater need (guilty) to spend more time studying the teachings of the living prophets. I know that without some external motivation that pharmacy school will keep me to busy to be able to self-motivate. I was thinking that if I got enough people that wanted to that we could do a couples thing (e.g. I would post a talk one week and Melissa the next) that way we can maximize the number of people that will get into heaven (because if you don't do this idea...) and share testimony building experiences. So as the title of the post says "What do you think?"

I love that idea. I'm *so* in!!! And, I'll see if I can force *cough, cough* I mean, gently persuade Scott to participate as well. I agree...we can all use an opportunity to study the teaching of the living prophets more and build our testimonies by sharing them. Love it.
