The response was so positive on the last Ensign Reading Contest we have decided we will continue with the latest general conference. I think everyone felt that the challenge helped in studing the words of our living prophets and leaders. As soon as you receive your Ensign Conference Issue you can begin. Here is how the Pursuit of Excellence Challenge will work:

1. To be entered into the monthly drawing: Read a minimum of 4 talks each month.

2. To be entered in the Grand Prize Drawing and to complete the Pursuit of Excellence Challenge: Read all the talks from the April 09 Conference. And......

3. Write at least one post or email (or as many as you feel inspired to do) about a favorite talk or talks, your general impressions, what you learned etc.

4. Once you have read all the talks for the month you can leave a comment or send an e-mail and you will be entered to win some great prizes. Remember you will complete the challenge by reading ALL of the talks.

Do you accept our challenge? If yes, click on the list of participants at the right and leave your name.

Deadlines: To be entered into the grand prize drawing you must have all the talks read and leave a comment letting me know you read them all by October 1, 2009. I am really excited about this and hope you will all join me in this Pursuit of Excellence.

Your Thoughts

This is where we will come together as sisters and share our thoughts. As we listen together to a Prophet's voice we can help one another by our inspiration and insights in the talks we study. Feel free to share whatever you would like.

Pursuit Of Excellence Reading Challenge

During his October 08 closing remarks President Thomas S. Monson urged us to study and ponder the teachings from General Conference that will be published in the November Ensign and Liahona magazines (the transcripts will also be available online at lds.org ). Lets study together and help encourage each other in this study.
