Conference: It's coming up!

Solve these riddles:

1 As I went across the bridge, I met a man with a load of wood which was neither straight nor crooked. What kind of wood was it?

2 What has a mouth but can't chew?

3 There was a green house. Inside the green house there was a white house. Inside the white house there was a red house. Inside the red house there were lots of babies. What is it?

4 What is put on a table, cut, but never eaten?

5 Two fathers and two sons go fishing. Each of them catches one fish. So, why do they bring home only 3 fish?

6 When asked how old she was, Suzie replied "In two years I will be twice as old as I was five years ago." How old is she?

7 Mr Archibald went for a walk in the forest. It began to rain suddenly and he couldn't didn't have anything to protect his head. But not even a few hairs got wet. How is this possible?

8 There are 3 stoves. A glass stove, a brick stove, and a wood stove. You only have 1 match. Which do you light up first?

9 It there were 9 cats on a bridge and one jumped over the edge, how many would be left?

10 Six glasses are in a row. The first three are full of juice; the second three are empty. By moving only one glass, can you arrange them so empty and full glasses alternate?

Those were hard, just like life. However, how easy would they have been if I had given you hints? for example, on number 3, think about fruit. On number 7, think about his age. These clues make these riddles significantly easier. If you can get these kind of hints about life, why wouldn't you listen intently and pay close attention? This is what General Conference is.

"But they always talk about the same thing!! I've heard it all before!" Let me tell you something, true Principles don't change. And we, as children, need repetition in order to learn. If we're not learning what we're taught, then obviously we need to hear it again until we are perfect at it; and there is only one person who can claim perfection at any trait.

"Don't discount a message merely because it sounds familiar." -Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Conference is messages from God, to us. So get ready to listen up.
