General Conference and Scripture Mastery

I did General Conference a little differently this time around. I told my Seminary students to text me every time they heard a Scripture Mastery scripture during a Conference talk, so I had to seriously pay attention to all the scriptures that were mentioned throughout the Conference.  (I did take personal notes, but I was heavily focused on the scriptures.)

Scripture Mastery scriptures (from any year) were mentioned 24 times during Conference.
