Your October 2018 General Conference Activity Packet

As easy as they are to prepare, missionaries can find a way to mess up even pancakes!

General Conference is now under two weeks away. It's time to start preparing for another weekend of spiritual feasting. You can start by downloading the Fall 2018 General Conference Activity Packet. Thanks to the translation work of Sara Mayer, Gabbi Herrera, and Dani Queiroz de Souza it is also available in French, Spanish, and Portuguese too!

Now, while I've got your attention, let me remind you of the other materials I have available should you want even more options to entertain your little ones during the General Conference broadcast:

Consider subscribing to the Mormon Cartoonist Activity Page Newsletter.  The Mormon Cartoonist Newsletter provides subscribers with a free activity page every Friday morning delivered to your inbox to download for sacrament meetings, Family Home Evenings, primary lessons, or General Conference. Did I mention that it's free? Sign up for it here.

If you have Apple products, you might be interested in any one of the fine iOS apps featuring my artwork: LDS Coloring Book, LDS Laughs, LDS Scripture Heroes, and Book of Mormon Adventure.

You can also go old school with one of my activity books available at discerning LDS bookstores: The Puzzle Book for LDS Kids and Now That I am Baptized.

And finally, don't forget about my collection of missionary comic strips. Mission Daze is perfect for the missionaries in your life!

Steak Dance

This joke has been done before I'm sure. Just remember: on this blog, you get what you pay for.

Halloween Fun

Given the fact that these comic strips I'm posting of Elder Van Dyke's mission are spread out a week at a time, I'll probably get around to his first Christmas about a year from now. It is just dumb luck that today and next week's Halloween-themed strips fall somewhat close to actual Halloween.

Junior Senior Companion

...Or maybe that's senior junior companion. At any rate, I realized last week with some chagrin that I have never as yet featured a gag or strip centered around senior missionaries. Today I rectify that gross oversight.

Slip of the Tongue

While visiting with one of my brothers a month ago, the topic of my body of work came up. I've published roughly 1,000 Latter-day Saint themed comics in the past 10 years. Of those, my brother specifically mentioned today's strip as one of his favorites.

(I like it too.)

Bishopric Prank

Hey, they've got to do something to entertain themselves to keep from falling asleep on the stand, right?

Sounds Like Home

A stereo system was a huge status symbol back in my day. It sure doesn't seem to be something teenagers today care about now days. With the growth of earbuds, listening to music has become much more of a private activity than it was 25 years ago.
