Saturday Morning Sketch Notes

 

That’s how we show our love

The real treat comes when they ask to see our leaders. “How does ten hours of general conference sound to you?”

Of course if they listen to the messages it may save us from total annihilation!
 

Ahoy, sisters and brothers

What do they have for the enlisted men?
 

Conference is coming

Are you ready?
 

The usual signs

As we approach general conference, I've been pondering what it means to sustain someone. My assumption is that we're all trying our best whatever our calling. Sometimes that "best" is going to look different, and it won't meet with everyone else's expectations. 

When Jacob is teaching the Nephites in this week's Come, Follow Me, he says that he doesn't really want to preach the sermon that he's going to give — but the Lord commanded him to deliver this message. They might have expected to hear "the pleasing word of God," but got an entirely different talk about pride and chastity. 

As we participate in general conference this weekend, let's sustain our leaders. Let's hear the messages the Lord wants us to receive. Listen with an open heart and open mind. You might just get the message that you need to hear!

Sketchbook: Making dates

I hope you had a wonderful Easter! Now we get to prepare for general conference!

When I was a full-time missionary, it wasn't unusual for folks to "commit" to something and then back out at the slightest reason. Whether these elders got pranked or not, I don't know. But I do remember one of my dad's favorite sayings for when people tried to get out of something: "When you're looking for an excuse, any excuse will do!"

Yes, this one stayed in the sketchbook because it's basically just sad!

Happy April Fool's Day — and let's be careful out there!
