General Conference Ensign

This week, for the first time ever, I finished reading all the talks in the General Conference Ensign, BEFORE the next General Conference broadcast! (Minus all of the Priesthood Session talks. I only got two of those read. But, since I am not a member of the Priesthood...)

I also did a LOT of referencing, for both Seminary and Relief Society.


I make tabs for the Relief Society lessons so I can find them very easily.

In my Seminary class we use the General Conference issue to find quotes that go with our Doctrinal Mastery scriptures. As I read through the talks, I make notes and mark things that are important to me. I also write the different Doctrinal Mastery topics that are covered in different parts of the talks.

At the top of the page I put colored Washi tape that matches the colors we use in class for the different Doctrinal Mastery topics:

          Acquiring Spiritual Knowledge = light green
          The Godhead = yellow
          The Plan of Salvation = orange
          The Atonement of Jesus Christ = red
          The Restoration = brown
          Prophets and Revelation = dark blue
          Priesthood and Priesthood Keys = purple
          Ordinances and Covenants = gold
          Marriage and Family = light blue
          Commandments = dark green

That way I can find different topics easily when I am preparing lessons.

I also make tabs for all the different times that the Doctrinal Mastery scriptures are used in the talks. Again, so I can find them easily.

It's made it so much easier for me to be able to find talks and quotes that work with our lessons and Doctrinal Mastery studies. I love it!
