Last night, my husband’s family gathered in the evening so the men and young men in the family could attend priesthood session of General Conference together. The women (and young boys) of the family enjoyed our tradition of a dinner cooked by Favorite Aunt Chris. We often will do a movie, but this time Chris had provided an activity for us all. It’s an awesome tradition that we all love.

When “the boys” got home from priesthood session, they ate and we all enjoyed some dessert and then many of us gathered around the television to watch the excitement of the Final Four game between Kentucky and Wisconsin. It was fun to be able to enjoy both spiritual stuff and some fun stuff together.

Now as I’m decompressing from the awesomeness that is General Conference and family traditions around Conference, I took a look at the trends on Twitter. A few minutes ago, six of the top ten Twitter trends (one of which is a promoted hashtag) had something to do with General Conference. #FinalFour was up there, too.

#ldsconf
#ElderOaks
#priesthoodsession
#PresMonson
#FinalFour
President Monson
Priesthood

And now, #ElderOaks and #priesthoodsession are bookending #finalfour.

Twitter reflects the two things that made up our day memorable!

Kinda fun.

]]> General Conference is almost here again! We as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints look forward to this semi-annual event with anticipation and gratitude. We spend two days listening to counsel and teachings from our general leaders. (Archives at the link above from past conferences are available in 87 different languages. If you are interested in listening to the Conference this weekend, April 4-5, 2009, live internet streams will be available here. For more information about broadcast times worldwide, see here.)

How do you prepare for General Conference weekend? And do you have any special traditions associated with enjoying the spiritual feast?

For example, if you have children, what do you do to help them learn to love and listen to the messages?

Do you attend a broadcast in your building, or do you stay at home?

Do you eat special foods, or get together with friends or family during the weekend?

Or is each General Conference its own unique experience?
