[Teachldsseminary] Conference Jeopardy

Mon Oct 8 16:44:10 MDT 2007

Linda,
Just have to add my appreciation.  My class absolutely loved playing Jeopardy.  the way you wrote the questions was so perfect - telling part of the story, and letting them finish it.  - Just enough to cue up their memories.... I think they were surprised at how much they remembered.  And those who didn't watch conference, learned so much from their peers answering questions and retelling stories and parts of talks.  I don't think anyone will miss conference in the spring, so they can be ready to play!!
Thanks again,

Buses, roads in poor conditions, and not knowing the route.> We arrived to Mesa Arizona and then we could see the house of the Lord,> gleaming and beautiful.

He said that he's had sleepless nights> and much prayer. His spirits was buoyed up because he knew Pres. Hinckley is> the prophet and members will pray for him but he feels inadequate. Then he> told us what the most important qualification was in order to serve? What> did he say? One must be comfortable in bearing witness of the Savior. > 300 Elder Bednar spoke about doing good and becoming better.

However, his own father was not active n the church. Tell us the> story of the plan he and his children had to get his father coming back to> church and ultimately to the temple. Plan involved his children: Every> Sunday his dad would return home after taking wife to church. He Asked his> children to ask Grandpa to come to church and hear them bear testimonies.> He knew he would make an excuse so he and his wife were waiting in another> room. He told the grandchildren he hadn't taken a shower yet. They started> yelling "Shower, shower."

He said there were> bombing raids at night and air attacks in the day. He said the memories of> those days were of darkness and hopelessness. He was living in the rubble> of postwar Germany. Tell the rest of the story that changed his attitude and> outlook on life. He said that in the middle of this despair, their family> learned of the gospel and message of Christ. This message made all of the> difference and lifted them up. Life was still horrible but the Gospel> brought light, hope and joy in their lives. Plain and simple truth of> Gospel enlightened their minds. It helped them look at themselves and world> around them from a different viewpoint. Christ and our membership in his> church are great reasons to rejoice. > 400 Elder Cook told us to listen closely to the words of the prophet.> Then he told a story about a drought in the land of Tonga.

She said, "I don't know how to thank you for comforting> words both when he died and again in your talk." It was not a coincidence> that I gave that talk or that she listened to that talk.

What funny thing he said> they would have done? They would have given the dog a bath if they had one.> 300 Elder Zivic got up and apologized in case something happened to him> that had never happened to someone giving a talk in General conference.
