Your April 2024 General Conference Activity Packet

Believe me, care packages are a really, really big deal to missionaries.

General Conference is almost here! You can prepare by printing off your very own copy of the Ward Cartoonist General Conference Activity Packet. Once again, the packet is available in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Once again, thanks to the wonderful Gaby Herrera and Dani Queiroz de Souza for their incredible translation work.

(Now here is the part where I try to sell you on the stuff that isn't free.)

Do you want even more activity pages? Then check out my many books:
If you are more interested in a laugh than solving a puzzle, I'd suggest ordering a copy of Mission Daze. It includes nearly 500 comic strips tracking a missionary from mission call to homecoming. (This book makes for a great mission farewell gift!)

And then there are the apps (iOS only, sorry!). Your kids will love LDS Scripture Heroes or Book of Mormon Adventure on the Apple App Store.

With all these resources available, you should be able to enjoy at least one Conference talk in peace.

Intimidating Bishopric

You'll notice that none of them are smiling.

Fruits of Their Labor

As a missionary, I had my Mom ship me corn syrup in a care package so I could make our investigators a number of different treats. Fortunately, for them, my peanut brittle turned out much, much better. (Also, you know I'm old when I admit to making peanut brittle--sheesh.)

Brotherly Love

Had my older brothers been serious scriptorians growing up, I probably would have been the butt of this joke many, many times.

Kitchen Catastrophe

This is why you follow directions exactly as prescribed.

Forbidden Fruit Pie

Latter-day Saints differ from other Christian religions* in that we don't view the Fall as a major disaster that sent God scrambling for another plan, but rather a necessary part of His ultimate Plan of Happiness. For us, then, Eve is someone to be venerated not vilified. Plus she probably baked a mean apple pie.

*I'm going off my own limited understanding of other faiths here.

Adventures in Baking

Cooking is an art. These two clearly lack any artistic ability.
