General Conference Quiz

I thoroughly enjoyed this General Conference. It was one of the few times that I was really able to sit and listen to each and every talk, even though on Saturday afternoon we visited with Baum cousins during the afternoon session I was able to have it DVRed to listen to later. I was visiting with some of Andrew's aunts yesterday during the priesthood session and was told that instead or writing notes during conference we should write down our insights and thoughts. I tried to in my "notes" to write down thoughts I had when hearing the wonderful talks. I feel because of that I was able to really get a lof from this conference and the testimonies given by these wonderful men and women. I hope that I can do that each and every conference from now on. I did work on a quiz since it's become kind of a tradition. It's just for fun and don't feel pressured to post a comment with your answers. Enjoy and good luck! :)

Morgan, thank you so much for the quiz. I love the idea that we are all watching Conference together, wherever we may be and when we get your quiz it brings that feeling back. Plus, it is fun to see what I remember. Thank you again for taking time to do it.
