Since 2012, the Facebook page BYU Memes has been the cultural watchdog of Brigham Young University.  If the site’s followers find something funny or entertaining about Mormon culture, they share their insight in the form of a meme or captioned image. Last weekend BYU Memes enjoyed another fantastic General Conference.  Here are some of the top memes:

1. Elder Ballard’s metaphor for staying on the “Good Ship Zion” and rescuing those who have fallen off

Christopher Wockenfuss posted about his meme, “Just so you know, this did NOT happen to me. I just put this meme up here for the fun of it, having made it in preparation for such a scenario.”

6. The hatchet, from the talk by Elder Allen F. Packer of the Seventy
