The Hmong people here are a very loving people to work with. John was the YM president, and I was a counselor in YW. These young people are the best. We also taught seminary together, because of our work schedules, and John worked with the scouts as well. Small branches give you more opportunities to get to know these kids. Our Sundays were very long days, but wonderful. We each took a car, and picked up as many of the kids as we could, (all the rest of the Stake Missionaries in the branch did too) because we had very few active adults at that time. On average we had probably 50 to 60 children, from primary through YW-YM, and if we were lucky, 6 to 10 Hmong adults. Then after our regular Sunday meetings were over, we had Seminary (Stake approved), then all of the high school students would come to our home for lunch, and then spent the rest of the day and often into the night working on whatever they needed help. Sometimes it was just a need for an extra social gathering, and sometimes it was school work. I helped with the English, Science, and Math, crafts, while my husband helped with the History, Seminary and scout projects. Then we would take the kids home, usually after dinner! Often during the week we would get visits either on the way to or from school to help with homework. I miss these wonderful YW-YM!! Please write me at spiffy@frontiernet.net if you have any questions at all. You will love working with the Hmong people they are the best.

It's been a few years since I worked with the Beehives, but here's what I remember: There is always a cute theme - one year it was "Angels Among Us"... the invitations had angels ("be an angel and come to the Beehive Conference"), one of the mini-workshops was a craft to make an adorable angel pin (we painted wooden bodies, glued on hair, etc.) There is always a keynote introductory speaker, then 3 mini-workshops that the girls rotate between, then the traditional 15-foot long subway sandwich cut into chunks for all participants (and fruit & chips & drinks) for lunch. The workshops have ranged from spiritual/inspirational to memory-book making to journal-writing classes (lots of hand-outs). One year they had a line-dancing/aerobic class...another year was the angel-making craft. I remember one class called "honor the name that you bear" - adorable cards decorated with teddy bears were handed out, and everyone looked up their names in books that told what different names mean. In that class pictures of several of the recent prophets were displayed, and we had to match names with their pictures. I was embarrassed at how poorly I scored on that one! More recently, I understand that the conference has been set up so that the girls can get a whole bunch of personal progress goals signed off as they participate in the day. Hope this helps some! good luck, kathy (Santa Rosa, CA stake) At 11:18 AM 7/31/98 -0700, you wrote: >I just received a letter from the stake yw 2nd counselor asking for ideas for the beehive conference coming up.

MY THREE WHITE DRESSES My mom bought me a white dress, not red or pink or blue. She said it was a special dress, Like very other few. There has been just one before, A dress now put away, That I wore some time ago, Upon my blessing day. As a little baby clothed, In my first white dress My dad held me in his arms, There to name and bless. So pure and clean was I just hen, With time to grow and learn About the Father's plan for me, My glory I must earn. Now I've reached the age to judge, The wrong road from the right, And I am here to be baptized, In this dress of white. So once again I'm free from sin. The path is clear to me. I'll grasp the rod and hold on tight, I vow with certainty. Just as mud would stain my dress, Sin would stain my soul. The key is to repent or bleach, For whiteness is my goal. And if I try my very best, Then richly blessed I'll be, Wearing inside God's holy house, White dress number three. So today I make this pledge: I'll strive to choose the right, Through this sacred baptism ordinance, In my second dress of white. author is not mentioned.

We started with one of the Beehives reciting from memory the poem "Three White Dresses". Moms then talked about the feelings they had on the day their daughters were blessed. Then the young women and their moms talked about their baptisms, not all were spiritual some where funny. Then we had Mom's tell about their sealings and how important that was for them. Last we had a young woman, that had been married in the Temple about a year ago , talk about what being married in the Temple meant to her. She concluded her talk on dating and standards and a reminder to set their goals to aspire to; be able to walk through the Temple Doors and be sealed for time and all eternity, to a man who loves them so much, he wanted to take them to the Temple. >MY THREE WHITE DRESSES > >My mom bought me a white dress, not red or pink or blue. >She said it was a special dress, Like very other few. >There has been just one before, A dress now put away, >That I wore some time ago, Upon my blessing day. >As a little baby clothed, In my first white dress >My dad held me in his arms, There to name and bless. > >So pure and clean was I just hen, With time to grow and learn >About the Father's plan for me, My glory I must earn. > >Now I've reached the age to judge, The wrong road from the right, >And I am here to be baptized, In this dress of white. >So once again I'm free from sin.

One of my laurels just finished this project. She baked the bread for the sacrament every week for six weeks. It was a wonderful project. I had to clear it with my Bishop first, but he thought it was a great idea. No one in the ward knew she was doing it until we presented her medallions to her in Sacrament meeting. Several people came up to me afterward and commented that they had been curious as to why we were using homemade bread. Now that her project is finished, her efforts are sorely missed! Another one I just thought of the other day is a class project. (unless you are very ambitious!) We're going to compile a handout which contains a short profile on every family in our ward. I thought it would be neat to be able to hand this information (with addresses and telephone numbers) to new people who move in, to give them more that just an address and phone list. This would involve contacting every family in the ward. If there are some inactives who didn't want to participate, their names, addresses and phone numbers would be the only information included.

I am wondering specifically about the "Worth Index". Does anyone know more about this???? Thanks so much! <<< If you can get hold of a June 1995 Ensign check out the article "Our Divinely Based Worth" by Barbara Day Lockhart. It is a great article about worth being something that you have and don't have to earn. I used it to teach the YW about individual worth. I had a class at BYU with Dr. Lockhart where most of the class could not accept this concept. We spent the better part of a week discussing it and still most of the students felt that they had to "do" something to have worth. She has also developed a "Worth Index" that allows a person to see where they feel their worth comes from. My YW enjoyed doing the index and learning more about themselves. >>> - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

My Bishop felt inspired that the YW should meet weekly with the RS and share opening exercises, similar to what the priesthood do, and then split for classes. I, however, felt inspired that this was NOT the thing to do. We struggled with it for six months and I did support him in his desire, all the while feeling wrong about the whole thing. In our handbook it directly states "YW should not meet with any other organization." I felt in supporting him I was going directly against what the first presidency has set up for the young women, yet I also felt I should obey him as my bishop. What can a YW president do if she is receiving conflicting messages? Louise H.

While our successes are fresh in my mind, I thought I would share them in the event anyone is keeping a file for next year. Our them was M.A.S.H. (Modern Armies Serving Heaven). The stake arranged for a Values Walk on the second night of camp. They played contemporary, inspiring gospel-oriented music while they took each ward, one at a time. Before your ward left on its walk, each girl and leader was given a sandwich baggie which had seven colored rocks in it (to represent the values). Each ward was taken to a spot in the camp where another leader stood with one of the tiki torches which had a value written on poster board on its corresponding color stapled around the base of the tiki hut. A short talk on that value was given (maybe two minutes in length) at which time each participant was asked if they were willing to commit/recommit to living that value in their life. If so, they were to take the pebble from their bag and place it in a bottle which had a decorated tag with the value written on it. Each ward progressed to subsequent sites where the same process was repeated regarding a short talk and then a commitment/recommitment. These bottles were then taken to the central campsite where the stake assembled the following days and were on display to remind all the participants that we were all uniting in living the values. The last night of camp we had our Indian Princess Ceremony. This is a 10 minute ceremony which welcomes first year girls and leaders into the tribe. A story is told of a young woman who wants to bring honor to her family, learn the traditions of her people, etc. One fourth-year girl is selected from each ward and is actually dressed in indian dress. They hold tiki torches and present a small pendant to each of the first year individuals. The song I Walk in Beauty is sung while the pendants are passed out. This was beautiful. We utilized the candles during testimony meeting which has been mentioned here on this list as something that some of you do. My husband made small wood block holders which were drilled to hold a small eight inch tapered candle. I found the candles on sale at K-Mart right after the Christmas holidays for 10 cents each (we had to buy close to 50 to have enough for the girls and leaders, plus bishopric). The girls truly loved this, and it was beautiful to watch the candles burn surrounding the campfire. Our testimony meeting ran t-h-r-e-e hours, so the earliest candles burned completely out. We will definitely do this again. We gave each of our seventh year girls a candle of their own to keep with a small tag bearing their name and the phrase 'a keeper of the flame'. They received this candle in addition to the one that they lit during their testimonies. Out of 35 girls, we only had two who chose not to verbally share their testimonies. We asked two of our seventh year girls to prepare a spiritual fireside to last about 10 minutes in length each night just before bedtime. These were marvelous -- we chose the topics we wanted them to cover (resisting temptation/repentance for night one, increasing friendship and unity between the YW for night two, and the power of prayer for night three). Our two girls prepared thoughts/handouts/music/scriptures/stories for each evening's presentation. This is the first time our ward has done this and it was extremely powerful. While they did these firesides, they had the other 7th year girls deliver what they call "pillow talk" to each girl's pillow, which was a small handout reinforcing what was covered in the fireside. As an example, the presentation on friendship had as the pillow talk a heart-shaped cookie wrapped in a baggie with the thought attached: Love wasn't put in your heart to stay. Love isn't love til you give it away. Our squirt gun/super soaker water gun fight was a lot of fun and very welcome in the heat of the afternoon. We had no problems at all with this one. We used the Cracker Jack Theory that was posted several weeks ago and taped a copy of that thought to a box of cracker jacks for each girl. This was a hit!!! Hope you all have had, or will have, a marvelous girls camp. - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

It is a very dangerous thing for us to question the counsel given by him. The stake YW President is intitled to receive inspiration for her stake. But the Bishop has been entrusted with all the ward's auxillaries. He has insight that she will never have. The priesthood power is a wonderful thing and the call of a Bishop is a very important and all encompassing for his particular unit. I do know we have been counselled to follow our Priesthood leaders. That is the most important thing. The Church is a church of order and as such the Bishop is THE Priesthood authority for the ward. I feel SO strongly about sustaining the priesthood leaders especially the Bishop. Be very careful if you deviate from this at all. And remember that all the YW and others as well watch for your example. If you give him your support, he will receive other's support but if you do not, how can you expect others to support him in other matters. Elder Aldin Porter once gave a conference talk about the safety there is when we follow our leader's counsel. Sorry to be so preachy but I know we MUST support our Bishop as he leads and directs our Ward. Thanks for listening.

They need to follow the the programs sent down from the church authorities. The YW program is an inspired program given to the young women under the direct authority of the priesthood. The handbook states the girls will be given the lessons from the YW manual with an OCCASIONAL speaker, when approved by the bishop. If there is a disagreement over this statement then the question should be directed to the YW Presidency in Salt Lake for clarification, not interpreted to fit ones needs.

I used the flower idea telling each young woman to take a flower after bearing her testimony and then at the end giving one to each girl who didn't get a chance to bear her's but thanking her for sharing her testimony in her heart. There was such a special spirit in the meeting. We had many girls bear testimonies that had never done so. One of the girls said it was the best testimony meeting she has ever been in. I started out by giving a short lesson on what a testimony is, why it is important, and how to give one. The rest of the time was left for testimonies. I just wanted to let all of you know what a success it was and to thank you for all your terrific input. The testimonies of these young women are so strong. I admire them so much and feel it such an honor to work in YW. Cathy - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

I make sure it a subject that is related to a lesson in the manual. For example we had the advisors skip the Patriarchal Blessing lesson, because we have our Stake Patriarch coming to speak to the YW & YM this 5th Sunday. Have you ever look through the manual and tried to decide which one to eliminate. It is very difficult. If anything we combine two similar lessons.

But, I also believe that was changed back to Yes, they DO need to stand. I have once again been called to serve in YW and the prior president had the girls stand and recite the theme and then recite a beehive becomes a young woman of... a miamaid becomes a young woman of... a laurel becomes a young woman of... I have not been able to find any directive from Salt Lake on this. So, do any of you have input for me? TIA.

I had a few people, while I was Bishop, write Salt Lake about this policy or that, and the response was, a very nice generic letter saying to take it up with your local Priesthood leader. Remember the goal is to keep all the ym-yw in the church. The Bishop is called of God and if we do not support him, we do not support our Father in Heaven. I did things while I was Bishop that some people were upset about. I talked about dating and sex. But, in 5 years we only had one active girl get pregnant, with this girl the problem started long before I was called. Let me tell you a story. Because of various reasons, I decided we would hold a Ward Family Home Evening at the Church on Monday night. I announced this in Sacrament meeting. There were a couple of families that said I could not have FHE at the church on Monday. One Brother even gained access to the Bishop's office, opened the Handbook, underlined the paragraph where it said the building was not to be used on Monday evening. A couple people called the Stake President. A couple families even boycotted our FHE. Make a long story short, we had three success stories from our FHE. We had 2 people, that never could have FHE because of family situations. All week long they kept telling me that now they could go to a real FHE. As they were telling me this they were crying. Another couple had been in the church for 20 yrs and had never had FHE, but because we did it, they now knew what to do. Overall it was a great success. I told the Stake President what had happened and our success. His remark back to me was, "I am glad I heard your side of the story, I am glad you did it and I commend you for it, but do not do it on Monday again." Because of what we learned he instructed all Bishops in the Stake to do a FHE on a ward level. The Bishops have a very tough job, they have a heavy load. Please support your Bishops and if you ever disagree with him, Make an appointment and prayerfully tell him in his office. Do not talk about it behind his back with the other people. Remember the Lord is running the church and the Bishop is just here to help, and the Lord will never let the Bishop go too far. Hope this makes sense, and Sisters I love you for your dedication and all the hard work you do.

I commend you for following the Bishop. Again if you feel you are correct in what you believe, ask the Bishop for an hour of his time. Explain your concern in terms of girls, not handbooks and instructions. Let the Bishop know you will support him no matter what. Then do what he says. He has the mantel for your ward, no one else. Unless you have been called to be a Bishop, it is hard to understand the demands of the office. I feel most Bishops try their best to perform their labors. The sad part about it is when the members do not support him and worst of all is they attack him. When I was released as Bishop, people asked "How does it feel now" My reply was, "I felt like a B-17 during W.W.II. I had successfully flown across enemy territory and been shot at by the best of them, and I had survived. The sad part most of it was friendly fire." I have also heard a lot of people are concerned about how to get the YW going to RS when they are old enough. Maybe if they do it as YW it will make it easier togo when they are old enough.

We saw Parent Trap. What a good clean movie. I don't know how often anyone else does things outside of the set times ... but if you go out ... this is a great movie ... funny and clean. Camp, Here is a camping tip. During testimony meeting ... if you are sitting on one of the type of camp chairs that latches on the bottom. The kind that has a strap of material across the top. Make sure its latched .. Well,..... Otherwise, like me, you'll get up bear your testimony... and when you sit down,... well, the chair collapses! :) We had the VERY best time at camp! To those who have yet to go.... Do you have a theme song? We played the same song over and over.... Not much reception in the mountains.... It was a single I just bought.. Now our young women have two MUST play songs... One every time we go ANYWHERE! We all sing and laugh and build great memories! This is such a wonderful calling. At times my heart aches to the very core, but the good times, what powerful memories they make!

One year a dance festival, another was a "songfest", another was a stake youth conference, last year was a roadshow year, but I hear they are looking at doing either a ropes course next year, or the production "On Cumorah's Hill" where everyone in involved in one big production either acting, singing in chorus, playing musical instrument, etc. It has been nice to rotate & have some variety. Our roadshows also are limited to one month of practicing & very little money spent, if any. Some years they would allow us a certain amount of white butcher paper & that was all we could use for costumes, props, etc. (along with whatever paint, etc. we wanted to use on it... but the point was not to spend too much time or money) We got very creative!

I just gave a lesson for my girls on setting short-term goals. I think as we get older we forget to set goals. We dream of doing something, but we don't take the proper steps. The lesson was in the manual I have. Older women can have goals for doing genealogy work or going on a mission (take steps to save money--how much needed to set aside per month, etc.) Why not begint he lesson as suggested: Take a moment for everyone to write down what they want to be doing 5 years from now ( or what they want to have accomplished). Have some tell you their answers and then take a couple of them and work out the short-term goals and steps needed to reach that long-term goal. Just a suggestion. I think I needed this lesson myself more than anyone else. Tracey ...@... If you have ICQ my ICQ# is ....

Perhaps you could enlist some of the sisters (older and younger) in sharing personal experiences of putting the scriptures into action (based on His teachings), for example: letting your light shine, forgiveness, humility, doing unto the least of these, etc. There is a wonderful, short video you could close with on the FHE video that shows excepts of His life, with only the music "Jesus Was No Ordinary Man". It is really nice - I can't remember what the segment is called right off, but I will look it up for you if you are interested. This topic would be appropriate for any age group!! Good luck!

I assumed everyone had responded! Classes like Fasting with a Purpose, Getting the most out of Sacrament meeting, the Joy of Service, the Purpose of Temple Work, etc. Or just pull out the most recent Conference Address issue of the Ensign and select a talk that you feel impressed to discuss. Assign a lot of scriptures, have a word association or quiz ice-breaker, and have a bunch of pictures. It's also fun with a small group to play a little game: jeopardy, matching, etc. Makes it a little less formal. Just brainstorm some topics, then pray about your choice. It'll work out great!

Wondering how safe it is for the girls to hold them as they burn down? Our camp was wonderful this year! Weather cooperated, the girls had so much fun, and the testimony meeting was awesome. 5th and 6th year girls did a remarkable job with the evening programs ( along with their other assignments!) Our theme was "Come Aboard" (Noah's Ark). The favorite new addition this year was D.E.A.R. time, drop everything and read. For about 40 minutes every day at 1, everyone (including cooks, etc.) was to drop everything and read their scriptures, the New Era, or other uplifting material. It was so awesome. I anticipated difficulties in getting the young women to cooperate, but they were admonishing their leaders to do it! It was an overwhelming success, and brought a sense of peace and quiet to camp in the middle of the day. Everyone came from DEAR time rested and ready for their afternoon activities. At the end of the week, the girls were not exhausted, and were all begging to stay longer. Even the leaders felt this way! It also ensured a time during the day that every girl could do her certification for scripture reading. It was great!

Several ward traditions had developed, and I reverted to the manual. I felt it was important for the girls to see that when we had guidance, we needed to follow it, and if we didn't have guidance, we were free to follow our own best judgment. So now our Laurel president conducts each week, unless we have individual meetings, then each class president conducts her own class.

Date: 03 Aug 1998 20:46:43 -0700 Don't know about the original post on this one either, but your discussion struck a chord in me because our family is going through this situation. I am YW pres, and my middle son 18yr old, will be married the 27th of this month. His girlfriend is 6 months pregnant. It's been devastating to our family and the choices have been tough. Adoption was NOT an option for this young mom - she wouldn't even consider it. My son wanted marriage and she did too. It has been tough to accomplish as there was resistance from her family, but they will be married this month. They wanted to be together and plan to work toward being sealed. It's going to be very hard for them- they are both young, but I also think it can work if they try hard. I belive Heavenly Father expects us to take responsibility for our actions and that babies are not to be born out of wedlock. Where there are two individuals who want to take responsibility for their situation (even if they are not totally aware of what that entails) they should be given that chance. It's tough and will be a long haul, but if they are doing what's right, they will have all the help they need. Of course, I wish this situation hadn't come up. My oldest son served a mission, my second is serving now. I had hoped for this experience for my next son, but his choices limited his options and it's time to "suck it up" as they say. It's never an easy situation, but support from family and friends is essential.

Date: 04 Aug 1998 01:57:38 EDT I am surprised that they did not give you a topic to teach on because of the structured lessons in RS and Priesthood new this year. We were asked to coordinate RS lessons with the Priesthood, to give same lessons on same Sundays. You might ask one of the Priesthood leaders what lesson they plan to give. Or if you still get to choose, "Joy in the Journey" could be a fun topic and applicable to all ages. We used it one year for a Pursuit of Excellence program in RS and then it was this year's EFY theme (at least it was for my daughter who went to a week at BYU). The book given to them had great talks in it; ( I stole a peek) examples; Act 1: The Premortal Life, Act ll: Mortality, Act lll Life after Death, "The Best Three Hours of the Week", "Learning to Recognize the Spirit", "All these things Shall Give thee Experience", I could go on ... 200 pages of great youth and adult talks/topics. When I was RS pres. last year, with Bishop's permission, we had the Laurel class attend RS once/quarter. The YW pres and I would decide which Sunday based on the lessons that were scheduled. There was positive feedback and I think it helped the girls see a "bigger picture" of sisterhood. Anyway, hope this helps.

Date: 04 Aug 1998 02:42:10 -0400 Sister Ferguson, I would just like you to know that all of our prayers are with you at this time. On e of my roommates just went through this rough ordeal. She chose to give her child up to lds social services, which indeed was one of the hardest things for her to do. What helped her get through most of it was the support of our university ward and the song "From God's arms to my arms to yours" by Michael Mclean. But she truly has been blessed by our Heavenly Father. I know that the decision to keep a child or give it up is hard. As I have only been a member for 1 year yesterday, I have seen the changes in yw who keep their child. Whereas I have failed to notice them before. All I can say is that whatever this yw decides, support her and show her more love. I have numerous young adult friends who have read this article and we all agree that if the decision is made prayerfully then this couple will be blessed. As for your son, he may have the opportunity to go on a mission when he is older ( Married couple mission) I know that missions are a big part of our church to soar for souls, but I also know that your son will have the opportunity to serve our Heavenly Father whether it is him going on a mission or rendering service as a member of the church!

Date: 04 Aug 1998 02:53:11 -0400 As we have just had the privilege of having the Prophet here in Edmonton, an ideal lesson might be " why it is important to be nice to converts" President Hinckley stated at the conference in Edmonton " When we get new members in the church, they do not know everything. In fact they don't know a great deal after 6 discussions." Ask them what they can do to make converts feel more like they belong, you can also tie this in with a lesson form the BY manual about personal apostasy. After all this would add to our personal apostasy if we do not fellowship new converts in the church. Hope this helps. Megan in Edmonton, Alberta.

Date: 04 Aug 1998 09:37:31 EDT Dee, I just gave a lesson in young women's on the Holy Ghost. I think it applies to every member of the church. I discussed why the holy ghost is so important in our lives, the purposes of promptings, how promptings come, why we get no answer even when we are living the commandments and Dallin Oaks test of content for promptings ... how to tell if they are from us or the Lord. Started the lesson by giving a gift ... an NY subway token. Explained what the gift was. Asked a youth if she could go from Times Square to the Empire State Building, using her new gift. She explained she knew the basics, understood the use of the token but, admitted that she wouldn't know which subway to use. I Explained and tied that into the Holy Ghost. We understand we have this gift, but do we fully understand its purpose? Do we know how to use the gift? Do we understand its purposes? Anyway, there's another thought in the pile! Best of Luck!

We were made into a district in January having been a part of the West Grantsville Stake. Our district consists of four branches, and we operate just like a stake only on a smaller basis. We are appx. 1 1/2 hours away from Grantsville so none of our district leaders have every been in a stake position, and we're all trying to figure out what we're doing. I am the YW District President. The Handbook states that all Sunday lessons should come from the manual with the exception of an occasional speaker, with the approval of the bishop. I have one branch that on the first Sunday of each month does not give a lesson out of the manual, but gives a lesson on a value. This is not a directive of the bishop. I'm not sure why or how it started. Could you please give me some feed back on how you feel about this. I've been debating if I should emphasis the Handbook's statement. Also, how does your Stake budget for YW. Do you get a budget? I haven't a clue on money, mostly because I've asked and never received an answer. I'm not sure what I can spend and why. I believe this is because our district presidency isn't sure either. Do you all get money from the stake for girls' camp? Our district was thinking of not given us any. They feel because the Boy Scout program does not use budget money, the girls should not either. My biggest problem with this is I know the boys get donations from business around here. They receive enough for the scout registration plus extra to run their program. I have been told by one branch president we are not allowed to do fund raisers, and I have been told by my District counselor we can do two fund raisers a year. Anyone know for sure? Any help, suggestions, or ideas would be greatly appreciated. You guys have been a real help so far. Ilene _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

In preparing for girls camp I was able to get several things donated or at a great discount by just speaking to store owners. We had one branch camp director receive donations from beauty salons, supermarkets, store vendors which the girls used for their garage sale/carnival. Most people are very willing to help girls go to camp! Marcia - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

Several ward traditions had developed These "traditions" are what made me ask the original question. Thanks to everyone who gave me such great input. There are some wonderful ideas that were forwarded and I wanted to make certain that there was not a policy that I was unaware of. Also, as to Laurels only conducting when the YW meet together, we do not have ANY laurels. Well, actually there is one who may be there once in 5 or 6 weeks. There is no laurel presidency. So, at least for the summer, I have been doing the planning when it was the laurels turn, along with my counselors. In this instance we have been having the Miamaid president conduct combined lessons. I believe that the Lord will forgive us! So, sometimes you have to do the best with the circumstances you find yourself in.

The girls have been complaining that they suffer through these lessons, and would rather meet within their own groups. This worked out very well for us, with the approval of my YW President! Hope this helps someone: My lesson was on "Turning your hearts --- to each other." We talked (in my lesson) about being friends. What does it mean to be a friend? What qualities does your best friend - or any friend, for that matter - have that attracts you to her? What do you like most about her? What makes her your best friend? How long has this friend been in your life? Would anyone like to share something about their friend or friends? Unfortunately, I didn't get a lot of response - but did garner a lot of blank stares.... So, I came prepared. I set them up in groups of five around the room. You could even do it in groups of two in a Relief Society lesson, pairing a very young sister with a very old sister. I made sure each group contained at least one leader, Mia Maid, Beehive and Laurel, to get a good mix. YOU need to control the mix, and not put good friends together. I put ten signs around the front of the room: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE FOOD? WHAT IS YOUR FULL NAME, AND WHO WERE YOU NAMED AFTER? WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVORITE MUTUAL OR WARD ACTIVITY? WHAT DRIVES YOU CRAZY? WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE OR BOOK, AND WHY? WHAT IS THE KINDEST THING ANYONE EVER DID FOR YOU? WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR WORST COOKING DISASTER? WHAT IS THE THING THAT SCARES YOU THE MOST? WHEN WERE YOU THE MOST PROUD OF YOURSELF? IF YOUR FRIEND WAS SAD, WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE? Then I had them work within their groups to answer some or all of the questions together. I gave them only about 15 minutes, and they had a lot of fun. Then I handed out a small square of paper with the same 10 questions on it, and a blank line for their name and phone number. You could, instead, do 10 different questions. I asked each person in the group to fill out their name and phone number on it. I collected all of them, after they folded them in half. I got the sisters back into one collective group, and asked them what new things they had learned about their fellow sisters today. They seemed to have a good time sharing. We talked about the Savior's great example in being a friend. He felt compassion for all the poor, and anyone who suffered. How many of our sisters are suffering out there? It is time to serve each other. Christ healed the sick, raised the dead, fed the hungry, and blessed the children. How can we be more like Christ? Can we heal the sick? Yes, we can heal the sick by tending to them, even if they are only sick in heart. Can we raise the dead? Some of our sisters have testimonies that are dead, and we can share ours, and lift their spirits. Can we feed the hungry? (A resounding "YES"!). Can we bless the children? Of course we can - in our families and in our church callings. We are all children of our Father in Heaven. Then, I bore my testimony. The last thing I did was to put all those papers with their names and phone numbers in a basket, and ask the sisters to draw names out. If they got their friend, they needed to put it back. I asked the sisters to be like Christ, and call the sister whose name they drew this week - even today! And ask more questions, and get to know this sister better. I asked them to climb out of their comfort zone, and start getting to know the sisters in the ward that they didn't know well. Well, I hope this helps. It was a fun lesson to give, and the girls seemed excited. I would like to hear about other ideas that worked well for joint YW lessons.

Too many times we think that the only way to give a lesson on Sundays is to have the class sit with arms folded. Before our wards reorganized, I had one sister who was called as the Value Speaker. She always gave the lessons on Fast Sunday and they were about the Values. She was terrific and used so many different teaching techniques. A while back someone on the list mentioned the book "Teaching No Greater Call". It has some of the best teaching methods and they will keep your lessons A-one! Now that we are in a smaller ward, there isn't anyone to be a Value Speaker, in fact, I don't even have advisors, so we have a guest value speaker on Fast Sunday. I've used the best women and a few men in the stake. I always get the names approved by the bishop, which isn't a problem, and ask the speaker well in advance. They have been the best! Last month the sister compared quilt tops to Divine Nature and the individuality of the girls. She brought several quilts and had prepared pieces of paper with a pattern of nine squares. She divided the girls into groups and gave each group a paper, scissors, glue stick, and a baggie containing 9 squares of red and blue paper to fit into the pattern. The groups could then make any design they decided. It was great and they all turned out so different. Our presidency just stood back in awe!

Having the person conducting make assignments in advance for prayers, opening hymn, spiritual thoughts, etc., cuts down on the confusion of trying to get someone to accept on the spot or volunteer to pray. Something we do that also helps is to have a CD or tape of soft music playing before the girls start arriving for the meeting. They especially like hearing YW songs. It really brings a spiritual feeling into the room. "Soothe the savage beast" :) By the time these girls get to YW it's their third meeting and they love to complain about it...especially on Fast Sunday!

Peck" Subject: Re: (lds-yw) Budgets/calendars Date: 04 Aug 1998 12:37:55 -0600 Ilene: You are entitled to a "stake" budget for YW. We submit ours to the Stake Presidency in September and they come back and let us know if they have any problems or not. We plan all of next year's activities and submit them with how much each activity will cost, as well as the gospel purpose for each activity (based on the mission of the church). One thing to consider. At the last Area Training meeting I went to they had us keep a few things in mind when planning activities: 1. Is this activity a good use of budget funds? 2. Could this activity be done better/more effectively on a ward basis? 3. Does this activity have a gospel purpose? Stake/ward budgets are based on Sacrament meeting attendance for the prior six months. For example, if the stake president has money allocated to that stake in January, it is based on that stake/ward's attendance for six months prior to that. We had a problem with that this year. We got a new Spanish ward in February, and had to stretch all of our budget money because the budget was based on the Stake's sacrament meeting attendance for the six months before that ward came into our stake. Make sense? Fund raisers are up to "local priesthood leaders". Our stake presidency does not allow them, even though the Church's budget guidelines state that the YW can have one per year for camp. So we have to use budget funds for camp. In our stake we have a Stake/Ward camp, meaning that we split the costs. We do some activities on a stake level while at camp, which the stake pays for, but the activities the wards do while at camp are paid for out of their funds. The wards pay for all the food except the one meal which the stake provides (a dinner). One huge problem with the WardYW Presidencies in our stake is that they "forget" to budget, or don't know how, so they run short or don't have money for camp, etc. etc. We are really trying to help them with that. Also, in our stake the Stake Presidency wants to know the youth activities three months in advance, because so many wards just play basketball or don't have something planned with a gospel purpose, so we are trying to help them plan better with their calendaring. Hope this helps. Charee Peck, Stake Young Women President, South Salt Lake Stake serryp@burgoyne.com -----Original Message----- >Hi everyone, >I live in Wendover, NV.

Our LEADERS were even quite disruptive! We did several things & it has improved greatly. We worked with the class presidencies.... the girls had noticed also how awful it was. They decided on some courses of action & once they got behind it things really improved. I worked with the leaders at board meetings... discussing the problem, getting their input, etc. The more people you involve in the solution, the less of a problem you have! We started by cleaning out the young women room. It happens to be the scout room & people seem to think it is the storage area for all the broken down tables, chairs, extra podiums, etc. We got rid of all the junk & re-arranged the room to be more conducive to reverence & got in the room early to have it all set up before hand. What I mean by rearranging the room is that we have two doors in the room... we used to face the door with a window in it so that everyone walking by would make funny faces in the window, etc. and take away from the lesson or whatever was going on. Also, that same door was the one that people would walk into [like Bishopric to come in & tell me something], etc. & so that would disrupt the class. There is a back door but every time someone tried to use it it would bang into chairs, would be locked, etc. So we turned all the chairs facing the back wall (which now is the front!) so that people can come in & out or walk by & it is behind the girls... they don't notice it as much. Of course, we have a chalkboard, etc. on that wall & so it worked to face the other direction. Hope that all made sense! What I'm trying to say is look at how the room is set up & how it relates to the atmosphere & what your options are We asked the pianist to come in by a certain time to start playing prelude. We also had sooooo many announcements... it took so long & there was too much talking about each announcement & added confusion. Now we have a weekly newsletter that the secretary makes each week on her computer. It's fun & cute & has the birthdays, the upcoming young women talk schedule, the activities coming up, plus news items on different girls & their accomplishments & updates about who is doing what so we can go support them. They are handed this as they enter the room. (Actually now we just put one on each chair along with our songbook). This gives them something to read while they wait for opex to begin, rather than sitting & talking. It also helps girls & parents remember what is happening when it is written down to take home & refer to. Add notes from the Bishop to the girls, etc. Also, spotlighting different girls in the newsletter is fun. Something else we decided (the Laurel presidency was in on this decision) was that instead of the Laurel president walking around asking people to give the prayer, lead the theme, etc. she just stands up & announces who will be doing it. She told them what she would be doing & why she was doing it that way... and that all of us are "old enough" now to be able to do any of those things... and so when it is time for the prayer, she just says... "Mary will lead us in the theme"... and then Mary stands up & does it. That has really been a good thing. It cuts down on a lot of chaos before we start. The girls have ALL been fine with it. I haven't heard any complaints! Ü We decided to call a yw pianist & chorister. That cuts down on deciding who is playing, who is leading, what songs, etc. It is their calling & they arrange the songs together beforehand. It has been also a WONDERFUL growing experience for both girls. It's been 6-8 months, so we will be changing soon. We have a Laurel class president who is very confident in her abilities & handles things beautifully. Of course that helps and some need more training than others. When people start talking, INCLUDING LEADERS, she just stops talking & waits for them to finish. Then she continues. Overall, it is not always perfect (sometimes I am the problem when my baby decides to start SCREAMING!!!), but in general it is 100% better and we are pleased! Hope some of this helped or gave you other ideas to build on. - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

In fact, I don't know a ward that does not do this, although I'm sure there are many! And no.... I haven't seen a directive about this from Salt Lake. Just one of those things that catches on & seems to be pretty common. I interpret it that those are the occasional speakers the handbook mentions & like I said we do get Bishop's approval. We also don't do it every month... we do it seven months (seven values)... just during the school year & not during the months of general conference. Of course, that guest speaker, or joint young women lessons could be taught from the manual since all the young women are getting the same lessons. This year, for a change, we did our lesson to go along with the yearly theme of Turning Hearts to the Family rather than the values. We had a packet of young women lessons that we got somewhere (I don't know where!).... lessons on family prayer, scripture reading, family home evening, journals, geneology & temple work, preparing to be wives & mothers, etc. The lessons were based on general authority talks, scriptures, the proclamation, and tied in with a value. We get the Bishop's approval of guest speakers for those, if it is not one of us leaders teaching. And he joins those lessons most months! - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

It's so good to see the relationship that your Laurel Advisor has with your class. I am the YW Pres. in our ward and had the fun priviledge to be phone tagged on Sunday. One of my Miamaids called and said "I love you Sister Burns, Phone Tag, your it!" and she hung up. It immediately called and said the same thing to one of my Beehives. I don't know how far it got but it was important enough to me to see the girls playing games like this. Later that night, two YW showed up at my door around 10pm, just to talk. We talked ALOT. They left around 11:45 to get back home. But not before dropping two wonderful notes on my desk for me to find later. But that wasn't the last of them! I got up the next morning and was telling my husband how late they stayed and how good the visit went. He just smiled and said "They stayed later than you think". I cocked my head in confusion and it then dawned on me. I ran out the front door and my front yard looked like heaven...all draped in white... toilet paper! I loved it! Fortunately, my husband and son took it all down and I didn't have to do any of the work! Tee Hee It is so good to get to know these beautiful girls and even better when they trust you enough to come over and visit and just talk.

This is one of the many things that has caught my eye, we are trying to stay with tradition and have the value lesson once a month, but it is always taught out of the manual. Most of the lessons can bring out a value without straying from the manual that has been provided for us to use. This year as well we are trying to bring the values and the proclamation together with the lesson being taught. This way we hope to cover it all!!

We had a training a couple of years ago with Sister Pierce who was at the time a member of the YW general board, and she stressed the importance of teaching the lessons in the manual. She explained that in the curriculum department at church head quarters that they have charts on the walls that list gospel topics that will be taught from the time we are in nursery until we are in Relief Society and Priesthood quorums. She said we would be amazed to see that topics we think are so basic may only be covered once or twice in our life time. She was stressing the importance of teaching the lesson in the manual. Ever since that time I have thought that it is probley best if we would choose a lesson from the manual to be taught in the combine sunday lesson, and even give to outside speakers we invite to speak to the youth to base there lesson on. We will be having another training form the General Board this fall and at that time I hope to be able to ask about this.

Do not use quotes in your message. We go by the handbook and our Laurels conduct each week. When we changed several years ago we got some flack. But now the girls know and look forward to their Laurel years. I've learned that we should follow the handbook when guidelines are given.

Hats off! and throw them high-- The ceremony's done! You've made it! Graduated-- The excitement's just begun! To life! Come on! Raise a cheer-- Step forward if you dare. New places, Unknown faces And a million hats to wear. Some might wear a doctor's whites Or wear a nurse's cap Give shots and diagnoses, Medicate and wrap. Some might choose a Stetson To shade them from the sun, Grab the bull by the horns, or ride Not to be outdone. A wedding veil might feel just right In satin, pearls and lace With silken roses on the crown To frame a smiling face. Some might choose the roar of crowds Ninth inning, bottom side, A baseball cap upon their heads, Team colors worn with pride. Some might prefer a garden hat To keep them in the shade While they prepare the flower beds And plant with hoe and spade. Hats off! Hats off! We salute Potential unrestrained. For every hat's a challenge And a victory gained.

Date: 05 Aug 1998 01:30:01 -0400 In response to getting the girls to settle down and become less disruptive to conduct the class, my university ward has come up with this idea for you. When the class is supposed to begin, open with the phrase " What would Jesus do?" Or " Would Jesus do this?" Get the class to think about this, and then begin with a prayer. If this does not work, talk to your Bishop or Stake President and have arranged a " Walk Out " We just did this in RS ( with permission of course!) What a walk out is, when the noise becomes to an unbearable level or you have received "no attitude" changes in the class you get up smile, and say " I hope that you will be able to follow the counsel of our Heavenly Father on your own. It just doesn't look like you're interested in obtaining the Highest Celestial Glory." Then say " I hope that you will one day try a little better to be a little better." Then walk out of the class ( closing the door). This gave our RS a little shock in the head. We don't know if it will work for you, but it did work for us. The other thing that our stake President suggested was to refer the members of the class to the Bishop for disciplinary action. I hope this helps!

When the girls come in they write any announcements they have on the chalkboard. Usually these are announcements about upcoming sporting events, music events, birthdays and notes of congratulations. Then whoever is conducting will read the board during announcement time. This works out well because even the shyest girls who wouldn't normally raise their hand and give an announcement when the conductor asks who has an announcement has the opportunity to share something with the rest of us.

" Everyday let us try a little harder to be a little better" You can also add what President Boyd K. Packer said to us" We do not serve the way we do because we were called to do so, rather we serve the way we do because we are under the covenants. Let us try to do all we can to please our Father in Heaven" And President Gordon B.

Meeting Date: 04 Aug 1998 23:31:09 PDT My Laurel Class was given the assignment to sing in Sacrament meeting. We had a difficult time choosing a song. Some leaders thought that only hymns were to be sung in Sacrament meeting, but we didn't want to sing a hymn because we wanted to sing something the congregation hadn't heard before. There have been songs that weren't hymns used as special musical numbers in our ward. We wanted to choose a song that we all knew pretty well since we could only come up with very few practice times. I suggested a primary song, we decided A Child's Prayer would be good, but , the YW president said she didn't think it was appropriate for teenagers to sing a primary song. We ended up deciding not to sing because mainly we couldn't find time to practice or even decide on a song. Has anyone run into a similar situation? Does anyone know of a policy on songs in Sacrament meeting?

My name is Jan, I live in Southern California. I am the Stake YW's Secretary. I love the YW's program and I am so thankful to be able to serve in it. My husband was just called as our Ward YM's President, he also teaches seminary. (No our Ward's not that short of people, he just loves both callings). We have 5 children between us (I had 3, he had 2). One boy and four girls, ages 19, 17, 17, 14, 13. It's a crowd but we love'em! I'm looking for ideas for a culmination activity for the World Wide Celebration. Our Stake YW's wants to have an activity and we need ideas. We just had a great Youth Conference and we are leaving for camp next week, so we are a little burnt out in the ideas department!!!! Another question I have doesn't have anything to do with YW, But I thought there might be someone on the list that can help me. My son (the 19 yr old) moved to Vancouver, WA recently. I would like to find out what ward he should be in and find who the Bishop is and give him a call. He lives at approximatly 900 W 21 St. He moved in with his Dad and they are not active.

Meeting Date: 05 Aug 1998 02:42:32 -0400 Alison, They ran into this problem in 4th ward in the Bonnie Doon Stake. The yw pres was away at the time. So what was suggested was the university ward was to come in and help. But we were still stuck. We got away with singing a Child's Prayer mainly because we have used it in our Primary presentation in the university ward. I'm not sure of the policy for songs sung in the Sacrament meeting, but we have never had a problem with singing any songs written for the church. The only time that we have been rebuked is when someone suggested apostate music. Other than that everything else was approved.

We had a MASH theme, subtitled be all that you can be. One of the wards in our stake adopted the name for their group, The Celestial Wannabees. The third day of camp, they ran around to all the wards with cut out photocopied bees on yellow paper (they must have made 200 copies or so in different sizes). Some were an inch in size, others were as large as four inches. They stuck tape on the back of each of these bees. As they came to our campsite, their ward screamed, you are being swarmed. They then came running at everyone and stuck a paper bee on everybody's shirts, stuck some on the cooking table, tents, etc. They also had some of their girls hand out pieces of the candy, bit-o-honey. It was a lot of fun. Maybe you could do this the day ahead of your devotional to help inter-ward camraderie. This particular ward is the only one that planned something fun and thoughtful that they could share with every other ward. I don't think it cost too much and our girls/leaders sure had fun being the recipients of their thoughtfulness. At a post-camp party just last night, one of the just-released counsellors in our ward passed out a laminated bookmark which had a floral graphic at the top with the following poem. Blossoms By Allene W. Heiner If all God's blooms were hollyhocks, How boring gardens would be. We need the rose and buttercup, The mum and apple tree. A pansy glorifies the shade, A marigold the sun. We needs the glads and daffodils To make the garden fun. If each of us were asters blue, There'd be no vim at all. We need daisies in the world, Tall iris and violets small. Whatever flower you may be Enjoy life as you go. Life your head, stretch your stem, And let your blossom show. She then had added the following thought on the back for everyone, You are a beautiful flower in our Young Women bouquet.

I think you can also sing other songs as long as the Bishop has approved the lyrics. There is also a purple book called a Song of the Heart put out by the Church that has good songs. Hope this helps.

It was very effective! We have used primary songs often in our sacrament meeting. At my sons farewell my daughters sang a medley of them and in his remarks, the stake president noted that we can learn so much from them. _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

Meeting -Reply Date: 05 Aug 1998 09:10:00 -0700 The policy on sacrament meeting music is that it must be sacred. The bishopric is responsible for sacrament meeting and they should approve any musical number. I think the logic that teenagers should not sing primary songs is flawed. Although there are some primary songs that are not appropriate for sacrament meeting, many are. Some have even been included in the new hymnbook (e.g., I Am a Child of God, etc.) I love the hymns and would encourage you to find a hymn that is not sung very often. My priests quorum learned a hymn on the priesthood(#220 I think) and sang it in sacrament meeting. The stake presidency then had them sing it for stake priesthood meeting. You can also find new arrangements of the hymns that are beautiful. Anyway don't discount the hymns. Bishop Lance Proffit >>> "Alison J" 08/04/98 11:31pm >>> My Laurel Class was given the assignment to sing in Sacrament meeting. We had a difficult time choosing a song. Some leaders thought that only hymns were to be sung in Sacrament meeting, but we didn't want to sing a hymn because we wanted to sing something the congregation hadn't heard before. There have been songs that weren't hymns used as special musical numbers in our ward. We wanted to choose a song that we all knew pretty well since we could only come up with very few practice times. I suggested a primary song, we decided A Child's Prayer would be good, but , the YW president said she didn't think it was appropriate for teenagers to sing a primary song. We ended up deciding not to sing because mainly we couldn't find time to practice or even decide on a song. Has anyone run into a similar situation? Does anyone know of a policy on songs in Sacrament meeting?

One branch had 4 girls and the other branch 2 girls. We did not worry about class presidencies by age group. We called one president, and she chose her counselors; needless to say all the girls had positions. In the branch with two girls, I was the only adult leader. Of course, I taught all the lessons. We only had a few activities since one of the girls lived 30 miles away and attended a different school which was 90 miles away. She was unable to come except on Sundays. I tried having combined activities with the YM; there were 3. If I did all the planning, work, etc., we had them. The YM Prez did nothing for these activities. In the branch with 4 girls, there were 2 leaders. My counselor came from 45 miles away. Therefore, I used her to teach the lessons only. We both did 2 lessons a month. The activities were held twice monthly. One of our girls also lived 30 miles away and attended a school 45 miles away. We did not want to exclude her, and the best we could arrange for all the girls to participate was twice a month. Small branches have to adapt to their circumstances. Don't beat yourself over the head for not being able to run your YW like a ward. Love the girls, stay close to them, teach them, and encourage them to achieve their Young Womanhood Recognition. Your rewards will be great. Good Luck, Ilene ---Delrey Pearson wrote: > > Hi To All, > I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Betty and I live in Tuba City, Arizona, on the Navajo Indian Reservation.

Meeting Date: 05 Aug 1998 10:25:32 -0700 I had a laurel for part of one of her laurel projects arrange for the young men/young women and primary to sing A Child's Prayer in Sacrament meeting. It was really beautiful. I understand that hymns are to to first choice in Sacrament meeting, but I also was under the impression that Primary songs counted. I love the Primary songs and don't have any problem with the Y. Women singing them. How about I Walk by Faith or something else from Janice Kapp Perry that has been written with youth in mind? The New Era many times has music/songs in it as well. Our Young Women are going to sing, My Rainbow of Values in Sacrament meeting next month. It seems to me it would be up to your bishop to approve the song and decide if it was appropriate or not. cathie -----Original Message----- >My Laurel Class was given the assignment to sing in Sacrament meeting. >We had a difficult time choosing a song.

Jennifer had just been called up to receive her YWhood medallion in Sacrament meeting. ( I Went into a little detail on how much effort this takes) She walked up to the pulpit and received her award from her bishop. On the way Down her heel got caught and she started to fall... What happens when you fall? You grab the first thing on the way down. Well, unfortunately for Jennifer that was the Sacrament cloth! As she fell she pulled the cloth she propelled the sacrament forward. Bread and water was flying every where... Brother Lewis said he felt like he was in Sea World ... you know the sign, if you sit in the first three rows YOU WILL GET WET! Cups were flying everywhere. There was bread in people's hair it was awful! The congregation was laughing hard. She tried to get up and she struggled and the more she struggled the more tangled she got. His wife nudged him and said, "Honey, help your daughter," he said that's "Not my daughter! " Their Home teacher, a very elderly gentleman who was hard of hearing got up and went up to help her. Now he was trying to be kind as he help free her, and he thought he was whispering ... but because he was Hard of hearing he said QUITE LOUDLY, " Don't Worry Honey, I don't think anyone noticed"... Oh the congregation laughed even louder! Jennifer got up and ran out to the parking lot. Her father went out to comfort her. Through her tears she said "Dad I am so embarrassed I can't ever face the ward again!" Her father replied, " I don't think its a good idea to get your YWhood medallion and go inactive on the same day." Dad you just don't understand! I am so embarrassed I could never go in there again. At this point her dad put his arms around her and said, You know I am not the wisest man on this earth. There are many things I don't understand. But I do know this, one day we will all have a chance to meet the Savior and we need to live our lives in such a way that when that time comes we won't be embarrassed. Do you think it took courage for Jennifer to go back into the sacrament meeting? You bet! - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

We have someone or group sing a prelude song each week before sacrament meeting about half the time it is a hymn and the other half it is a "church" song.

The Church Music Handbooks states: "The hymns of the Church are the basic music for Latter-day Saint meetings and are standard for all congregational singing....If other musical selections are used, they should be in keeping with the spirit of the hymns of the Church. Texts should be doctrinally correct. Music in Church meetings should help members worship and feel the sacred spirit of the Sabbath and the spirit of revelation. It should not draw attention to itself. Some religiously oriented music in a popular style should not be used in sacrament meetings. Also, much sacred music suitable for concerts and recitals is not appropriate for a Latter-day Saint worship service. When questions arise, stake presidencies and bishoprics should determine whether music is suitable for a particular meeting." (p. 2) Hope this helps!!

Meeting Date: 05 Aug 1998 14:03:24 EDT Here is an excerpt from the "Church Music Handbook" that might be helpful in choosing appropriate music for sacrament meeting. "The hymns of the Church are the basic music for Latter-day Saint meetings and are standard for all congregational singing. Hymns are encouraged for prelude and postlude music, choir music and special selections. If other musical selections are used , they should be in keeping with the spirit of the hymns of the Church. Music in Church meetings should help members worship and feel the sacred spirit of the Sabbath and the spirit of revelation. It should not draw attention to itself. Some religiously oriented music should not be used in sacrament meetings... (My note: even Janice Kapp Perry herself suggested that her music is more appropriate for YW meetings than sacrament meetings, with that notice at the bottom of many of her songs) When questions arise, stake presidencies and bishoprics should determine suitability of music." p. 2 Another good reference is the November 91 Ensign - Elder Packer gave a wonderful talk about appropriate music for sacrament meeting.

Meeting Date: 05 Aug 1998 08:25:26 -0700 You have to be careful with music in Sacrament Meeting. The goal is to have appropriate music and do not teach false doctrine. The best example is "I Heard Him Come" I had many people say they wanted it sung in Sacrament Meeting. But we always said no. In the song it says something like the river or water comes crawling to Him. Rivers do not do that. The biggest thing is, Being appropriate and no false doctrine. Stake President said no song, unless from the songbook. Some people complained but it worked out great.

Meeting Date: 05 Aug 1998 13:40:02 -0600 Alison, I don't know if there is a policy or not. When we do musical numbers we usually choose our song and then have the bishop approve it. We don't use the hymns or primary songs. Janice Kapp Perry has some good songs and there are some good ones in the Hold to the Rod songbook. We usually practice during yw opening exercises on Sundays for a few weeks before we sing in Sacrament meeting and arrange another time if we need more practice. I hope you'll be able to find something that works for you.

We base our mid-week activities around that value also, print the monthly calendar on that value colors paper, do our handouts with that color paper. We try to coordinate the color and value in all that we do so that it becomes engrained in the minds of the girls.) The President usually does it and it lasts about 2 - 5 minutes.

Only after the earth had been formed, after the day had been separated from the night, after the waters had been divided from the land, after vegetation and animal life had been created, and after man had been placed on the earth, was woman created; and only then was the work pronounced complete and good.

Just like the primary, sunday school and RS and > Priesthood. > We were told in a regional meeting that we could skip around in the lesson manual. That the only thing we needed to keep in mind was that we were to teach the complete unit and not just one lesson out of the unit. If you look in the front of the lesson manual in the introduction under unit teaching it states "In teaching these units, assess the needs of the YW in your class by asking yourself the following questions: What problems are they facing? What do they already know about the subject? What previous lessons have they had on the subject? Which of these lessons best meet their needs? When you have carefully considered the needs of your YW, study the lesson titles and objectives of each lesson to determine which lessons will best meet those needs. By planning well in advance, you can be sure that the YW will receive lessons in all units and that you will provide a complete, balanced curriculum." In reading this it sounds like they would like us to consider the needs of our classes in determining the order in which we teach the lessons. That is the beauty of these lesson manuals, we can taylor the lessons to the needs of the YW in our ward.

We were told this in our Stake Leadership meeting last summer. We have been using conference talks once a month as a way to familiarize the girls with current counsel from our prophets. We chose a talk that goes along with the theme from the conference issues. We skip around and choose lessons that go along with the theme of the month. We sit down in October and November and plan our our lesson schedule for the coming year. I also tell my counselors to be open to inspiration. If they know their girls have a need that comes up during the year, they are free to use conference talks or another lesson that we did not have time to cover to meet that need. Their right to inspiration for their girls supercedes our yearly outline.

The only other thing that I can think of is to talk to your bishop and seek his advice and counsel to help you in this matter. Hopefully things will be resolved.

Before we started, we did remind the girls to be careful. Someone e-mailed me stated they use no drip candles in the value colors.

I listen to hear them with my heart. They listen with theirs. I read to brighten my life. They read to broaden theirs. I write to show them meaning. They write to show me they understand. I watch as they grow and am happy. They watch themselves grow and feel pride. I share to allow an exchange. They share to find a piece for themselves. I care because they belong to me. They care because we belong to each other. I teach because I dream.

If you have more than 19 girls, have two of each kind or make up your own). Then describe what kind of man each candy bar symbolizes. Describe attitudes toward work, family, womanhood, motherhood, the Church, honoring the Priesthood, children, etc. After discussing every candy bar man, explain that choosing which man to marry should be done with much more thought than choosing a candy bar. Gather suggestions from the girls or hand out lists of things the girls might consider looking for in a husband. Pass out stationary so each girl can make a list of qualities she's looking for in her future husband. Remind the girls that it isn't enough just to marry a nice guy, or just a member, or just a returned missionary, or just to get married in the temple. They should make sure that the man they marry is going to be strong and active in the Church and that he has a testimony. Getting married to a man only because he is handsome, strong, athletic, rich, a good dancer, a good kisser, funny, or well-educated is not enough. Though it is nice to have those things, it is more important that you share the same goals and values. Discuss with the girls that they aren't the only ones choosing a spouse. The young men they are looking at are also looking at them. If they want a solid member of the Church, a returned missionary, a smart, fun, optimistic, creative person to marry, they must make themselves attractive to that type of person by being or doing those things themselves. Be careful as you present each candy bar man that you don't imply that the girl chose or will choose that kind of man just because she chose that candy bar. Be sensitive to how each man is presented. Some girl's father may match one of them. Explain that each girl needs to be wise, think about what she really wants, discuss her choice with family and good friends, and pray to Heavenly Father for guidance when making this crucial decision. She should pick the best man for her. Have candy bars for refreshments. Decorate with question marks, wedding decorations, bells, doves, netting and lights wrapped together, or pictures of temples, etc. **Candy Bar Men** Disclaimer: These candy bar men have a hodge-podge of characteristics that I have seen or heard about. These men are not designed to match any real individual, living or dead, and should not be taken as such. These candy bar men are designed to show how each person is a mixture of good and bad traits and to help girls decide which traits they want and which ones they don't. Oh Henry!--He's nice, honest, but forgetful. He prefers to watch TV rather than have Family Home Evening. He's not very committed to the Church. If he stays up late on Saturday, he doesn't mind missing Church, but he will go at least half of the time and take the kids to activities and chaperon dances. He married you in the temple, but you haven't been there together in several years. SNICKERS--Anytime you talk about the Church, he makes wisecracks about Joseph Smith or things that are hard for him to believe. He's never read the Book of Mormon. He is a good provider. He is a great kisser. He likes to tell jokes which are pretty funny unless they're about the Church. He's great with kids and your kids adore him, but they're adopting his attitude about the Church. You had a beautiful wedding in a garden. You hoped he'd join the Church because he played basketball with the missionaries on their P-day, but now you think that maybe it was just because he liked basketball. Idaho Spud--He's been a member all of his life and all of his family are members. He's a hard, honest worker. He's got a strong and simple faith in the Gospel. He's not a terrific dancer, but he honors his priesthood and can give your children blessings when they're sick. He's baptized all of your children so far. He went on a mission and married you in the temple. Now he's balding a little bit, has a pooch, and needs glasses, but he's trustworthy and respectful. MARS Bar--He's a rocket scientist, really. He loves physics and math. He's also kind of a nut. He's got a quirky sense of humor that not everyone understands, but you like it. He likes camping with the Cub Scouts and loves to design Pinewood Derby cars. He also teaches Gospel Doctrine and seems to know everything about Church History. He has to work late on Friday nights sometimes, but he always makes it up to you. You married in the temple and attend about every other month. Chuckles--This guy wasn't the cutest guy you dated, but he was the most fun. He never took you out to just a dinner and a movie. He was too creative for that. He proposed to you when you were eating a candlelight dinner on a road median. You found the ring underneath your Washington D.C. temple-shaped strawberry shortcake (where you later married--in the temple, not the cake). He even brought along some ring cleaner so it wouldn't be sticky when he slipped it on your finger. He says he wants 15 kids. You joke with him that you'll have the first eight and he can have the rest. He fun to tease and joke around with. He giggles if you make him laugh really hard. You're not rich, but you get by on his salary. m & m (More and More)--This guy is very ambitious. He goes to work at 7 am and comes home at 9 pm. Sometimes he works seven days a week, even if he doesn't have to. He even brings his work along on family vacations. You never date anymore. He's too tired and busy for that. You are fairly well off and you have a nice house, but you'd rather that he spent more time with you and the kids. What really breaks your heart is that your children ask, "When is daddy coming back?" You got married in the temple, but you wonder if he remembers what that means, since he doesn't seem to value his family here on earth. Mamba--this guy was on the BYU ballroom dance team and is a terrific dancer. You go dancing every week. He likes having group parties at your house. He is spontaneous and fun. Sometimes he surprises you by bringing home people for dinner without giving much warning, if any. He is a great father and takes his kids on outings with Dad once a month or so. He isn't that great at paying bills, going grocery shopping, or balancing the checkbook, so you learned to do that. He has a sincere testimony of the Gospel and you got married in the temple. Granola Bar--This guy loves health food. He's in great shape. He avoids refined sugar, white flour, and exercises daily. He cares about the environment and wears a Save the Whales T-shirt frequently. He loves to learn. He's a little unconventional, but he's very nice. Many of your family activities are athletic ones. You ride bikes and bring your own cloth grocery bags when you shop. He has a testimony of the Book of Mormon and loves doing missionary work. You married in the temple. Charleston Chew--This guy loves the night club scene. That was fun when you were dating, but now you wish he'd also take on responsibilities for taking care of the house, the kids, etc. He was a member of the Church when you met, but he had a small Word of Wisdom problem, chewing tobacco. You thought he would quit after you got married, but now he drinks, too. Because of that, he feels uncomfortable going to church. It looks like you'll never get to the temple. Skittles--This guy is very handsome and romantic, but not a member. He thought marriage was "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." Now that he sees that marriage is also a lot of hard work, he doesn't seem interested. He talks about being single again. He doesn't want kids and thinks that you, as a woman, should do all of the work in the house, on the relationship, and everything. He figures, "Hey, I'm earning the money around here!" Mr. Goodbar--This guy is sweet, handsome, and strong. He is a returned missionary and loves learning about the Gospel. He has very bad vision and already has the extra large print scriptures (the High Priest Version). Without his glasses, he can only make out big, fuzzy, colored blobs around him. He loves children and respects motherhood. He hasn't decided on what he wants to do with his career yet, but he's a hard worker and you're getting by. You got married in the temple. 100 Grand--This guy grew up in a very affluent home. He has a lot of earning potential, but he's not earning much right now. The problem is, he's used to a more affluent style of living and is having a hard time staying within your means. He has a testimony of the Church, but he decided that it was more important to graduate from college than to go on a mission. He took you to the temple. 5TH AVENUE--This guy inherited a lot of money from a rich uncle. He is not a member, but is very charming and handsome. You figured that since he was such a nice guy, he was sure to join the Church. He lets you go to Church and supports you in your callings, but he rarely goes himself. His social circle has lots of parties where they drink champagne. He drinks and suggests that once or twice wouldn't really hurt you, but he isn't pushy. Most of the other women there don't have children or have only one or two. They wonder what you do with yourself all day with 5 children and no nanny. Big Hunk--This guy was a quarterback at your college. He joined the Church while he was there. You introduced yourself to him on his first Sunday in the student ward. He was good looking and buff. You got married before he had been a member for a year and you are anxiously preparing to go to the temple together. It's hard for him to go to Church every Sunday since now he's playing in the NFL. He works a lot of Sundays and Mondays, but he still manages to get to sacrament meeting most of the time and he reads his scriptures a lot on Sundays. He tells you that when he retires from the game, he'll do charity work and have Sundays off. You're well off and he doesn't mind paying tithing even though it is a huge chunk of money. He loves kids and is so excited that you're expecting a baby soon. SKOR--This guy is very handsome and cool. He loves sports, especially soccer. He hopes to own a Baskin-Robbins ice cream shop one day. He was a big flirt when you were dating and was physically affectionate with lots of girls. Though he was always morally clean, you still wished that he had saved his kisses and other forms of physical affection for you. He served an honorable mission and took you to the temple. ZERO--This guy never studied in school and barely graduated. His idea of a good job is working at McDonald's during a non-lunch or dinner rush shift. He doesn't know what to do with his life and he doesn't really care. He spends his time hanging out with a few friends, laughing at old jokes, and watching people. He is a member, but rarely goes. He likes to sing and he could be good looking if he took better care of himself. He wrote romantic things to you in letters and you thought that they were all true. You felt sure that if you could just influence him for good, he could turn his life around.Unfortunately, you married him before he turned it around and he still hasn't changed. Milky Way--This guy has spectacular dreams. He wants to be a movie star. He wants to be unbelievably rich and tremendously famous. He wants to own a huge, richly decorated home. He also sees himself as a very successful player in the NBA, or maybe in the NFL. Self-esteem is not one of his weaknesses. However, he lacks a plan which would help him reach is dreams, so they are merely fantasies, not real goals. His reality is that he hasn't even graduated from college or a vocational school, though he has attended college for 10 years. You married him, believing in him and his dreams, but as it is now, you're still living the poor student life. If it weren't for your job, you wouldn't have any money at all. He's a great father and very smart and funny. He's just not focused on fulfilling his dreams. Lifesavers--This man is a lifeguard. He has a great body, a great tan, a great smile, and a helpful personality. He also is a wonderful home teacher and missionary. He has shared the Gospel with many of his friends. So far, 30 have joined the Church. He has a very strong testimony of the truthfulness of the Gospel and it is visible in everything he does. You met him when you were out dancing with your friends. He saw that you weren't having much fun dancing with the man who kept asking you to dance, and realized you were too nice to tell him no. So he stepped in and asked you for the next slow song. You had a lot in common and felt totally comfortable with each other, in an exciting sort of way. When you returned to your friends, you were almost out of breath and deliriously happy. You exchanged phone numbers, dated for 8 months, met each other's families and got engaged. Of course, you got married in your favorite temple. Four children later, you are still madly in love and very happy. Hot Tamales--This guy was voted "most attractive man" his senior year of high school. He knows he's good looking and considers himself a valuable commodity. However, once you get to know him, he can be down to earth and fun. He joined the Church when he was seventeen and none of his family are members. He's a great dancer and singer. He is reserving his kisses for engagement at least. He wants to be an electrical engineer when he grows up, but right now he's a waiter, putting himself through school. He is trying to avoid school-debt, but it looks like he'll take out at least $5,000 in student loans next semester. He had to cut down on his hours at work so he'd have time to study. He thinks womanhood is very sacred and is excited about being a daddy. He wants to learn how to play the piano. Right now, all he can play is "Heart and Soul." You got married in the temple. You live near his parents, who like the family over for Sunday dinner during Church time. It's a tough balancing act. These candies would also work well: Sugar Daddy, Sugar Baby, Nerds, Sweetarts, Almond Joy, Mounds, etc. - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

I'm not sure if "Zim's" in SLC is the same kind of place ... I was only there once and found it alittle more expensive than the place we have here so didn't check it out thoroughly. Here's a long-shot suggestion ... you might want to talk to a florist and see if they will give you information as to where they purchase their supplies. Most are reluctant to give out that sort of information ... Mitchell's Nursery on 33rd might be helpful - is it still there? The Mitchell's are members of the church - I haven't kept in touch with them in years but you're welcomed to use me as a reference - you'll probably need to jog their memory - Marcia Leon in NJ - their oldest son served a mission here about 20 years ago and the Mitchell's were like family to me while I was out at BYU! Anyway, most of the florist supply places will sell to those that have a tax ID number and you can then register ... at least that's how it's done here in northern NJ. The phone book is a great place to start also. Hope that helps!

(I don't know how it works with other denominations that use candles in their services, maybe they can't any more?!) It is the fire code. Check with your local fire dept.

I have been the 1st counselor in YW for about a month now and I still feel lost. However one point I would like to make on something I know quite a bit about. Having candles around the campfire is great-- but I hope no one uses them in the church buildings. I used to work for the church as a custodian and I know that no one is supposed to have any lit candles in any church building. It is the church's policy. In fact there is a lot of stuff that is not supposed to be in the building but is taken in anyway. Lots of times I have to just turn my head and shrug my shoulders. It used to be real hard for me to go to activities because I would see the mess everyone made and I knew I would have to clean it the next day. So after your activities-- please remember the custodian and clean up really well!!!!

Date: 06 Aug 1998 14:08:25 -0700 Action Relay Course You will need: 1. 4 hoops or tires per team (You could make them from a string of yarn or rope if you dont have plastic ones.) 2. 1 hat per team 3. 1 broom stick per team 4. 1 Jump rope per team (again a piece of roap will work) 5. 1 bean bag per team 6. Articles of clothes to make an outfit Devide the Youth into teams (under 6 per team is best) Place the hoops 12 yards apart in a line for each team. Place the hat and broom in the 1st hoop of each team, the beanbag in the 2nd,the jump roap in the third and the article of clothes in the 4th. The first player will run to the 1st hoop and put on the hat and mount the broom and ride it to the second hoop. This is where he/she will take off the hat and place the hat and broom in the hoop and balance the bean bag on his/her head and go to the 3rd hoop where the bean bag is placed in the hoop. The jump roap is picked up and jump roap to the 4th hoop place the roap in the hoop and get dressed. Run to the 1st hoop and take off the clothes and put them in the hoop then run to the team and tag the next player. The 2nd - 6th players will do the same going through the 1 - 4 hoops.

As for using candles inside ... what I have used that substitutes very well is the battery operated christmas candles ... gives the same effect as a real candle when you dim the lights!

We too stressed that this is just an activity to discuss dating and they all took it real well. We had a very good turnout and the girls said it was a great activity. I am the YW Pres. in my ward and I do not see anything wrong in this activity. I wish the sister well with working with her Pres. on different activities. I have two counselors and I take their ideas because we are all in this together and the YW need to see us working together! Let the spirit guide you in talking to your Pres. Beth in Md. -----Original Message----- Perhaps you could just go to some effort to ensure that the girls get the main point. I was slightly worried about this with the candy bar activity also-I did it a couple of months ago and was careful to point out that this was not intimating that this was at all like actually choosing a spouse, and the candy bar they ended up with was not supposed to be like the spouse they would actually get. I stressed to the girls that this was just a springboard for a discussion of the qualities and values that were most important to them. And was it ever! We got such a good discussion going that it was almost impossible to end the activity! The girls really got thinking about this, and they enjoyed it so much we have expanded and adapted it (for guys as well as girls) and will be using it to close out our Dating Standards combined activity next month. Some activities do seem a little cutesie or contrived, unless you make sure to point to the objective or value being stressed. Then the girls can have fun and learn and feel the Spirit too!

We had a luxury camp this year and were in lodges ... the YCL/adult leader lodge had a good size living room that we decorated with white christmas lights, white netting, bows, and a fake 3-tier wedding cake - we wrapped round cake tins with white foil paper and made a paper-doll bride & groom for the top - it was really cute and the YCL's really enjoyed decorating the room for me! I didn't tell them what we were doing except that we were going to their wedding and that I had their husbands ready for them. The oldest YCL got really creative and asked if she could make a wedding dress! I gave her 2 white plastic tablecloths and she and her YW president went to work on this dress ... it was wonderful ... complete with a detachable train!! So as part of the activity we talked about setting the goal of getting married in the temple and we got into wedding dresses and how they should be modest with long sleeves, high neckline, etc and why. Then Claudia came out to model her wedding dress for them ... it was a big hit!

Date: 06 Aug 1998 14:08:04 -0700 What Kind of Man Do You Want to Marry? (Candy Bar Activity) Have each girl choose a candy bar when she arrives, but don't let her eat it until later (See list below. If you have more than 19 girls, have two of each kind or make up your own). Then describe what kind of man each candy bar symbolizes. Describe attitudes toward work, family, womanhood, motherhood, the Church, honoring the Priesthood, children, etc. After discussing every candy bar man, explain that choosing which man to marry should be done with much more thought than choosing a candy bar. Gather suggestions from the girls or hand out lists of things the girls might consider looking for in a husband. Pass out stationary so each girl can make a list of qualities she's looking for in her future husband. Remind the girls that it isn't enough just to marry a nice guy, or just a member, or just a returned missionary, or just to get married in the temple. They should make sure that the man they marry is going to be strong and active in the Church and that he has a testimony. Getting married to a man only because he is handsome, strong, athletic, rich, a good dancer, a good kisser, funny, or well-educated is not enough. Though it is nice to have those things, it is more important that you share the same goals and values. Discuss with the girls that they aren't the only ones choosing a spouse. The young men they are looking at are also looking at them. If they want a solid member of the Church, a returned missionary, a smart, fun, optimistic, creative person to marry, they must make themselves attractive to that type of person by being or doing those things themselves. Be careful as you present each candy bar man that you don't imply that the girl chose or will choose that kind of man just because she chose that candy bar. Be sensitive to how each man is presented. Some girl's father may match one of them. Explain that each girl needs to be wise, think about what she really wants, discuss her choice with family and good friends, and pray to Heavenly Father for guidance when making this crucial decision. She should pick the best man for her. Have candy bars for refreshments. Decorate with question marks, wedding decorations, bells, doves, netting and lights wrapped together, or pictures of temples, etc. **Candy Bar Men** Disclaimer: These candy bar men have a hodge-podge of characteristics that I have seen or heard about. These men are not designed to match any real individual, living or dead, and should not be taken as such. These candy bar men are designed to show how each person is a mixture of good and bad traits and to help girls decide which traits they want and which ones they don't. Oh Henry!--He's nice, honest, but forgetful. He prefers to watch TV rather than have Family Home Evening. He's not very committed to the Church. If he stays up late on Saturday, he doesn't mind missing Church, but he will go at least half of the time and take the kids to activities and chaperon dances. He married you in the temple, but you haven't been there together in several years. SNICKERS--Anytime you talk about the Church, he makes wisecracks about Joseph Smith or things that are hard for him to believe. He's never read the Book of Mormon. He is a good provider. He is a great kisser. He likes to tell jokes which are pretty funny unless they're about the Church. He's great with kids and your kids adore him, but they're adopting his attitude about the Church. You had a beautiful wedding in a garden. You hoped he'd join the Church because he played basketball with the missionaries on their P-day, but now you think that maybe it was just because he liked basketball. Idaho Spud--He's been a member all of his life and all of his family are members. He's a hard, honest worker. He's got a strong and simple faith in the Gospel. He's not a terrific dancer, but he honors his priesthood and can give your children blessings when they're sick. He's baptized all of your children so far. He went on a mission and married you in the temple. Now he's balding a little bit, has a pooch, and needs glasses, but he's trustworthy and respectful. MARS Bar--He's a rocket scientist, really. He loves physics and math. He's also kind of a nut. He's got a quirky sense of humor that not everyone understands, but you like it. He likes camping with the Cub Scouts and loves to design Pinewood Derby cars. He also teaches Gospel Doctrine and seems to know everything about Church History. He has to work late on Friday nights sometimes, but he always makes it up to you. You married in the temple and attend about every other month. Chuckles--This guy wasn't the cutest guy you dated, but he was the most fun. He never took you out to just a dinner and a movie. He was too creative for that. He proposed to you when you were eating a candlelight dinner on a road median. You found the ring underneath your Washington D.C. temple-shaped strawberry shortcake (where you later married--in the temple, not the cake). He even brought along some ring cleaner so it wouldn't be sticky when he slipped it on your finger. He says he wants 15 kids. You joke with him that you'll have the first eight and he can have the rest. He fun to tease and joke around with. He giggles if you make him laugh really hard. You're not rich, but you get by on his salary. m & m (More and More)--This guy is very ambitious. He goes to work at 7 am and comes home at 9 pm. Sometimes he works seven days a week, even if he doesn't have to. He even brings his work along on family vacations. You never date anymore. He's too tired and busy for that. You are fairly well off and you have a nice house, but you'd rather that he spent more time with you and the kids. What really breaks your heart is that your children ask, "When is daddy coming back?" You got married in the temple, but you wonder if he remembers what that means, since he doesn't seem to value his family here on earth. Mamba--this guy was on the BYU ballroom dance team and is a terrific dancer. You go dancing every week. He likes having group parties at your house. He is spontaneous and fun. Sometimes he surprises you by bringing home people for dinner without giving much warning, if any. He is a great father and takes his kids on outings with Dad once a month or so. He isn't that great at paying bills, going grocery shopping, or balancing the checkbook, so you learned to do that. He has a sincere testimony of the Gospel and you got married in the temple. Granola Bar--This guy loves health food. He's in great shape. He avoids refined sugar, white flour, and exercises daily. He cares about the environment and wears a Save the Whales T-shirt frequently. He loves to learn. He's a little unconventional, but he's very nice. Many of your family activities are athletic ones. You ride bikes and bring your own cloth grocery bags when you shop. He has a testimony of the Book of Mormon and loves doing missionary work. You married in the temple. Charleston Chew--This guy loves the night club scene. That was fun when you were dating, but now you wish he'd also take on responsibilities for taking care of the house, the kids, etc. He was a member of the Church when you met, but he had a small Word of Wisdom problem, chewing tobacco. You thought he would quit after you got married, but now he drinks, too. Because of that, he feels uncomfortable going to church. It looks like you'll never get to the temple. Skittles--This guy is very handsome and romantic, but not a member. He thought marriage was "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." Now that he sees that marriage is also a lot of hard work, he doesn't seem interested. He talks about being single again. He doesn't want kids and thinks that you, as a woman, should do all of the work in the house, on the relationship, and everything. He figures, "Hey, I'm earning the money around here!" Mr. Goodbar--This guy is sweet, handsome, and strong. He is a returned missionary and loves learning about the Gospel. He has very bad vision and already has the extra large print scriptures (the High Priest Version). Without his glasses, he can only make out big, fuzzy, colored blobs around him. He loves children and respects motherhood. He hasn't decided on what he wants to do with his career yet, but he's a hard worker and you're getting by. You got married in the temple. 100 Grand--This guy grew up in a very affluent home. He has a lot of earning potential, but he's not earning much right now. The problem is, he's used to a more affluent style of living and is having a hard time staying within your means. He has a testimony of the Church, but he decided that it was more important to graduate from college than to go on a mission. He took you to the temple. 5TH AVENUE--This guy inherited a lot of money from a rich uncle. He is not a member, but is very charming and handsome. You figured that since he was such a nice guy, he was sure to join the Church. He lets you go to Church and supports you in your callings, but he rarely goes himself. His social circle has lots of parties where they drink champagne. He drinks and suggests that once or twice wouldn't really hurt you, but he isn't pushy. Most of the other women there don't have children or have only one or two. They wonder what you do with yourself all day with 5 children and no nanny. Big Hunk--This guy was a quarterback at your college. He joined the Church while he was there. You introduced yourself to him on his first Sunday in the student ward. He was good looking and buff. You got married before he had been a member for a year and you are anxiously preparing to go to the temple together. It's hard for him to go to Church every Sunday since now he's playing in the NFL. He works a lot of Sundays and Mondays, but he still manages to get to sacrament meeting most of the time and he reads his scriptures a lot on Sundays. He tells you that when he retires from the game, he'll do charity work and have Sundays off. You're well off and he doesn't mind paying tithing even though it is a huge chunk of money. He loves kids and is so excited that you're expecting a baby soon. SKOR--This guy is very handsome and cool. He loves sports, especially soccer. He hopes to own a Baskin-Robbins ice cream shop one day. He was a big flirt when you were dating and was physically affectionate with lots of girls. Though he was always morally clean, you still wished that he had saved his kisses and other forms of physical affection for you. He served an honorable mission and took you to the temple. ZERO--This guy never studied in school and barely graduated. His idea of a good job is working at McDonald's during a non-lunch or dinner rush shift. He doesn't know what to do with his life and he doesn't really care. He spends his time hanging out with a few friends, laughing at old jokes, and watching people. He is a member, but rarely goes. He likes to sing and he could be good looking if he took better care of himself. He wrote romantic things to you in letters and you thought that they were all true. You felt sure that if you could just influence him for good, he could turn his life around. Unfortunately, you married him before he turned it around and he still hasn't changed. Milky Way--This guy has spectacular dreams. He wants to be a movie star. He wants to be unbelievably rich and tremendously famous. He wants to own a huge, richly decorated home. He also sees himself as a very successful player in the NBA, or maybe in the NFL. Self-esteem is not one of his weaknesses. However, he lacks a plan which would help him reach is dreams, so they are merely fantasies, not real goals. His reality is that he hasn't even graduated from college or a vocational school, though he has attended college for 10 years. You married him, believing in him and his dreams, but as it is now, you're still living the poor student life. If it weren't for your job, you wouldn't have any money at all. He's a great father and very smart and funny. He's just not focused on fulfilling his dreams. Lifesavers--This man is a lifeguard. He has a great body, a great tan, a great smile, and a helpful personality. He also is a wonderful home teacher and missionary. He has shared the Gospel with many of his friends. So far, 30 have joined the Church. He has a very strong testimony of the truthfulness of the Gospel and it is visible in everything he does. You met him when you were out dancing with your friends. He saw that you weren't having much fun dancing with the man who kept asking you to dance, and realized you were too nice to tell him no. So he stepped in and asked you for the next slow song. You had a lot in common and felt totally comfortable with each other, in an exciting sort of way. When you returned to your friends, you were almost out of breath and deliriously happy. You exchanged phone numbers, dated for 8 months, met each other's families and got engaged. Of course, you got married in your favorite temple. Four children later, you are still madly in love and very happy. Hot Tamales--This guy was voted "most attractive man" his senior year of high school. He knows he's good looking and considers himself a valuable commodity. However, once you get to know him, he can be down to earth and fun. He joined the Church when he was seventeen and none of his family are members. He's a great dancer and singer. He is reserving his kisses for engagement at least. He wants to be an electrical engineer when he grows up, but right now he's a waiter, putting himself through school. He is trying to avoid school-debt, but it looks like he'll take out at least $5,000 in student loans next semester. He had to cut down on his hours at work so he'd have time to study. He thinks womanhood is very sacred and is excited about being a daddy. He wants to learn how to play the piano. Right now, all he can play is "Heart and Soul." You got married in the temple. You live near his parents, who like the family over for Sunday dinner during Church time. It's a tough balancing act. These candies would also work well: Sugar Daddy, Sugar Baby, Nerds, Sweetarts, Almond Joy, Mounds, etc. -- We did it a little different, we had the girls come in and take a candy bar, a piece of paper and a pen. We first had them each write 20 things that they wanted in the man they marry. Then we had some of them share their "priorities". Some were hilarious! Then the leaders took a few minutes to talk about being the kind of person you want to marry and how some of the things on their lists would move down the list as they got older. Then we had the class presidency take turns reading the candy bar descriptions. We spent the whole time laughing! -----Original Message----- > > > >Could you try and send this Choclolate activity cut and Paste because my >computer doesn't have that program and I'd really like to see it because >I lost it myself!

If it get to be such a huge problem, then the Bishop should be informed of it. In our ward (San Jose, CA), the girls plan the activities and we guide them through the process. It builds leadership abilities in them and makes them appreciate what it takes to carry out a fantastic activity. They learn to talk with the others in their class to brainstorm ideas and choose activities that interest all/most of the girls in their class.

It is difficult to give advice through a computer miles away. Let me tell you a story. When I was called to be Bishop, I knew there were 4 people in the ward that absolutely HATED me. = I could never understand what I had done to afford them. About 3 years ago = I was finally able to buy The Color Code by Taylor Hartman. We purchased it at Ricks College the week we took our son there. It is a 16 hour drive fr= om Ricks to where we live. We listened to these tapes the entire way. It was great. Taylor says there a 4 kinds of people(Personalities) Red- They wa= nt to be in charge, never wrong and they can always do it better than you ca= n. Must look good.=20 Blue-The intimate person, they will talk and find out everything about yo= u. Very considerate and VERY emotional. Must be good. Boy Scout. White-Lay back, procrastinates, avoids fights. Loves to sit at a computer. Peacemaker.Wants to feel good about what he does. Yellow-They are only here to party. Very flighty, non-committal.=20 Now I knew why these people acted the way they did, they didn't hate me they were just being red. Do not ever get into an argument with a red person, unless you are blue. he red person will eat you alive. And just b= e playing around the whole time.=20 I suggest you by the tapes and listen to them, they are a great tool in helping to deral with people. The color code tapes made my last 3 years a= s Bishop much easier. It helped me understand why people acted the way they did.=20 The tapes cost around $60.00 But it will be the best buy you ever make.

Have the girls sit in on the planning. Does the president know that the girls don't like the program as she has outlined it? Ask the president what fun things she did as a YW and see if that helps. My heart goes out to you. I have a wonderful presidency -- it sure makes a difference in how the YW program runs.

I have a serious problem! First I need to read your suggested book... Second, I'm all those colors! as soon as I heard your description of Red, I moaned and wanted to slink away. It's me through a= nd through. (And as a YW Pres, former RS Presidency member...that can be a challenge in and of itself)... THEN you went on to the next color, and lo= w and behold... that's me too (sometimes)...and on and on. I'm a chameleon= I guess, cause I am all of those at different times throughout a given week= .=20 :-) Maybe I should avoid the book... just one more thing to sap my time and confuse me even more . LOL! =20 Thanks for your input. I enjoy all your comments. You help keep us in line with the spirit and I, for one, am truly glad to see you respond often!!! Keep it up. Each of us need a guide at times. Dee in Iowa... A multicolored YW leader! ---------- All kinds of questions are asked on this thread about how to deal with certain people or situations. It is difficult to give advice through a computer miles away. Let me tell you a story. When I was called to be Bishop, I knew there were 4 people in the ward that absolutely HATED me. = I could never understand what I had done to afford them. About 3 years ago = I was finally able to buy The Color Code by Taylor Hartman. We purchased it at Ricks College the week we took our son there. It is a 16 hour drive fr= om Ricks to where we live. We listened to these tapes the entire way. It was great. Taylor says there a 4 kinds of people(Personalities) Red- They wa= nt to be in charge, never wrong and they can always do it better than you ca= n. Must look good.=20 Blue-The intimate person, they will talk and find out everything about yo= u. Very considerate and VERY emotional. Must be good. Boy Scout. White-Lay back, procrastinates, avoids fights. Loves to sit at a computer. Peacemaker.Wants to feel good about what he does. Yellow-They are only here to party. Very flighty, non-committal.=20 Now I knew why these people acted the way they did, they didn't hate me they were just being red. Do not ever get into an argument with a red person, unless you are blue. he red person will eat you alive. And just b= e playing around the whole time.=20 I suggest you by the tapes and listen to them, they are a great tool in helping to deral with people. The color code tapes made my last 3 years a= s Bishop much easier. It helped me understand why people acted the way they did.=20 The tapes cost around $60.00 But it will be the best buy you ever make.

Actually, I found the list several months ago when I was looking for ideas that might help me with my calling with the youth (early morning seminary - [Jan, I know why your husband doesn't want to give that up!!!]) I was also in the Primary presidency, had a new baby (foster), and didn't have the time to keep up with all the mail - so, I have been off for awhile. My name is Nancy, and I live in Missouri. I have just been called to be the 1st Counselor in the Stake YW. I am really excited about it - I love being involved with the youth! I feel very inadequate, but I know the Lord will help me as I seek His direction and that of my leaders. I have already gleaned some wonderful ideas from you, and hope to be able to share some as well. Thank you for making this such a great resource!! - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

Peck" Subject: Re: (lds-yw) I need some Advice Date: 06 Aug 1998 23:50:29 -0600 Geri, I can really sympathize with you. I had a first counselor that way. No matter what anybody else's ideas were, she had to go the opposite direction. Even regarding the color of napkins. I was MISERABLE! I just kept praying that Heavenly Father would tell me what I had to learn through all of it. Then one year she and I did rough camp together, no camp director. We really bonded and it changed the whole situation. I realized, too, that I perhaps had a pride problem and began carrying the following quote around with me by Thomas B. Marsh: *Pride has a way of nursing the totally unimportant into something unbearably significant.* When I began to understand her better and figure out that it was okay to let her shine, things got better. This may not at all pertain to your situation. I had another counselor that did a FABULOUS job as a counselor (the stake presidency steals all of my counselors and makes them presidents of organizations sooner or later!) but is very unbending as the president of the organization she is in now. A friend of mine is her counselor and struggles with similar problems as yours. Go figure! Perhaps remember this sister in your next fast or two and see if you notice a difference? Good luck!

I thiink that the best thing to do would to have the girls tell your president how they feel. It will be hard for them but they need to because she needs to known exactly how they feel. She must not know l or she surely would want things to change. Also, have her talk to other YW presidents in your stake and ask them what kinds of activities they have. She could even attend a few and see for herself that fun activities with a moral are ok. Hope that helps!

We have a little problem with our camp. Our RS ( In our Univ. ward) to go camping this weekend. We have invited the yw group to join us as well as 2 Priesthood holders to come along. Now I'm fairly new with the church ( 1 year) and it seems that we as RS councilors have been down trodden by the response of some new and old converts. The converts have expressed that they feel we do not need to bring Priesthood holders as it is a camp for the girls. We have tried to explain the importance of PH and still get the same response. Currently our bishop is away and we need to resolve this problem. The yw hear what the older wards are saying, and it is making them change their mind on the camp out as well. Any suggestions so that no one misses out on the blessings of this camp out?

We have continuously had a problem with PH support at girl's camp but fortunately have not had a real need for it in the past. This year I made assignments to wards -two wards each night where they needed to provide PH - good thing!! We had a YCL that fell ill and was able to receive a blessing from the PH - she was up on her feet the next day! My point of reference is the YW camp manual ... it states that there should be PH presence at camp. That directive comes through inspiration and we need to follow that counsel. - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

Even at homemaking there is to be a priesthood holder in the building... It is for safety and it sure helps to have someone help break down tables etc. (Spoken by a Homemaking Counselor of many years!) At Girls Camp, our wards were to ask for priesthood holders to come (2 per ward) for safety, blessings, and plain strength in some of the duties that were too much for us... But it was REQUIRED that we have at least 2 full time Priesthood Holders at camp with us at ALL times! I wanted to go to Nauvoo with my Laurel group and my bishop wanted me to take a Priesthood holder! I did end up taking my advisor (who's an EMT) and a list of the names of wards and the Bishop's phone numbers along the way in case of problems... Just because it would have entailed someone taking vacation days and the added expense of another hotel room... As a convert of 8 years, I'm not sure it's the "convert" attitude or lack of knowledge... It's the "individuals" characters or lack of policy knowledge. Too often I hear the excuse "convert"... as I hear "Utah Mormon"...I'm not fond of either generality. A "convert's" knowledge comes from those who fellowship in the wards... lifers or not... "Converts" with fresh new testimonies can be very strong...and will absorb the policies of the church if that's what they are taught. :-) Sorry... I'm too sensitive. I was converted in a STRONG ward full of Spiritual Giants.. I joined (along with my husband) and we've taken the gospel and church teachings 150% without question. I don't think we're special...I think we were "raised" in the church by righteous, knowledgeable people who loved the Lord. Humble servants of the Father. I've had the opportunity to be in the RS Pres for 7 years and have been the YW President for a year... Sometimes, I find the lifers living in the "gray" area and when a convert comes into the church, they are taught a "gray" gospel... The Gospel is black and white. The priesthood is a wonderful gift and we need to respect the direction of the 1st Presidency. Maybe just a review of policy from your manual will be a gentle, kind way to introduce the need for the priesthood at functions in the church! Boy, this is why I shouldn't reply... Guess my soapbox needed dusting! Hope I didn't offend or come across too harsh. I love this group and my lessons are fresher because of all of your wonderful suggestions! Thanks...

At our girl's camp 3 years ago, we had bears rampage through the camp. I= t was terrifying and we were very greatful for the priesthood leaders there. (They even had bows and arrows!) Each year at camp we need AT LEAST one or two blessings given, thanks aga= in to the priesthood. Final point. Young Women and R.S. are AUXILLIARIES (sp?) to the priestho= od. We are told that over and over. We are here to HELP THE PRIESTHOOD DO TH= EIR JOBS. Our handbooks state clearly that these organizations are under the direction of the prieshtood. Our Stake President makes certain we have priesthood representation at everything we do, camps, training meetings, firesides, etc. etc. etc. There is even supposed to be priesthood representation at YW ward activities by a member of the bishopric. Perha= ps when the other ladies come to understand the purpose of our organizations= , their hearts will soften a little. =DC Charee Peck, Stake Young Women President, South Salt Lake Stake serryp@burgoyne.com -----Original Message----- > Hi there! > > We have a little problem with our camp.

They have their own camp site, and play a very laid back role at camp. One gentleman teaches fishing, one does archery, one does row boats, and one does rifles. They do their jobs, maintain a low profile, and this year replumbed a leaky bathroom, repaired the shower house, provided strength at the camp service project, cooked a million pancakes, and was just there when there was a need. They are definitely in the background, most are Dads of one or more YW at camp. Our Stake President comes two nights, and his counselor over youth was there one night. Every night they do a camp "walk-about" where they quietly walk through camp, ensuring all is secure and there are no problems. They are all excellent role models for the girls, yet respect that this is girls camp and do not overstep their bounds. All Bishops come Friday night for dinner, and many spend the night in the men's site, and help drive girls home on Saturday. Every adult invited to our camp (whether serving in YW or not) needs to be approved by their Priesthood Leader. No one "assumes" they are going to camp. They are invited to come, after clearance from their Bishop or Branch President. All leaders are excellent examples to the YW. I can't imagine YW camp without the influence and power of the Priesthood, there to call upon if needed.

Date: 07 Aug 1998 13:05:37 EDT Megan, We have always had PH at camp. Stake and Ward. I think my girls would feel weird if they weren't there. We never really know they are there unless they offer to make the fire of something like that, in which case we are very grateful. Last year we tried for over 2 hours to get a coleman lantern to work with no luck. One of our PH came over and had it going in a second. We were sure glad he was there. I'm not sure what you could tell the girls to make them feel better about PH but if it were me I would just say either thely go or none of us go. HAHAHA. Also I have a question. I am the Ward Camp Director this year and also the Laurel advisor. We leave for camp on Monday the 10th. One of my assistants is taking the Laurels up one night early and she wants to talk to them about setting a good example for the other girls at camp. Espescially because we have some inactive Beehives joining us this year. We don't want our Laurels to scare them off. They can get really wild sometimes. They are all really good girls but get a little sarcastic and the other girls don't realize that they are kidding. And sometimes feelings get hurt. Does anyone have any talks or quotes or stories about setting an example ect. that she could present to these Counselors the first night. Anything would be helpful since we have nothing. Thanks so much and I love how helpful this list has been. I just wish I would have found it about 2 months ago!

One year, we had some roudy teenage boys come into the camp in the middle of the night. The PH chased them away. While the other girls and I thought it was "great" that guys had shown up, we were also grateful that we had these men there to protect us. Another year, we had a YW who spilled a pot of boiling water and had some spash up onto her leg. Though the burns weren't severe, she was in a lot of pain. The PH that were there gave her a blessing, and she was able to stay the rest of the week. I personally feel that anytime sisters are camping, there should be PH present, if for no other reason than for the power that the priesthood holds. Just my opinion.

We have needed them MANY times. Each ward is required to provide these men. There are others up there off and on also such as bishops, stake pres and husbands just lending a hand. We use a church owned property for camp and there is a caretaker and his family who live there so he is always available also.

My father was not a member, and the only way I knew what the "priesthood" did was to watch and learn. I have found that there are many YW in the wards and stakes in similar situations. These are teaching moments and testimony builders for these girls. It is important to have them around at all times.

I rooted as hard for victory as they did. A dramatic incident, however, following a game in which I officiated as a referee, changed my perspective on victories and defeats. I was refereeing a league championship basketball game in New Rochelle, New York, between New Rochelle and Yonkers High. New Rochelle was coached by Dan'O Brian, Yonkers by Les Beck. The gym was crowded to capacity, and the volume of noise made it impossible to hear. The game was well played and closely contested. Yonkers was leading by one point as I glanced at the clock and discovered there were but 30 seconds left to play. Yonkers, in possession of the ball, passed off-shot- missed. New Rochelle recovered-pushed the ball up court-shot. The ball rolled tantalizingly around the rim and off. The fans shrieked. New Rochelle, the home team, recovered the ball, and tapped it in for what looked like victory. The tumult was deafening. I glanced at the clock and saw that the game was over. I hadn't heard the final buzzer because of the noise. I checked with the other official, but he could not help me. Still seeking help in this bedlam, I approached the time keeper, a young man of 17 or so. He said, "Mr. Covino, the buzzer went off as the ball rolled off the rim, before the final tap-in was made." I was in the unenviable position of having to tell Coach O' Brien the sad news. "Dan," I said, "time ran out before the final basket was tapped in. Yonkers won the game." His face clouded over. The young timekeeper came up. He said, "I'm sorry, Dad. The time ran out before the final basket." Suddenly, like the sun coming out from behind a cloud, Coach O' Brian face lit up. He said, "That's okay, Joe. You did what you had to do. "I'm proud of you." Turning to me, he said, "Al, I want you to meet my son, Joe." The two of them then walked off the court together, the coach's arm around his son's shoulder. Al Covino Honesty (thoughts by President Hinckley Be fair. As you move onward in your lives, in your university studies and beyond, avoid shady and unfair practices. Clean competition is wholesome; but immoral, dishonest, or unfair practices are reprehensible, and particularly on the part of a Latter-day Saint. Be fair. The best rule ever given concerning standards of fairness was spoken by the Lord when he said, "Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them." (Matt. 7: 12.) (CR Oct 1981) On Mount Sinai the finger of the Lord wrote the law on tablets of stone: "Thou shalt not steal." (Exodus 20:15.) There was neither enlargements nor rationalization. And then that declaration was accompanied by three other commandments, the violation of each of which involves dishonesty: "Thou shalt not commit adultery." "Thou shal not bear false witness." "Thou shalt not covet." (Exodus 20:14, 16-17.) (Be Thou An Example, p. 44) Be strong, my brethren, with the strength of simple honesty. How easy it is to "lie a little, take the advantage of one because of his words, dig a pit for thy neighbor" (2 Nephi 28:8). Nephi so describes the people of his day, as he also describes so many of our day. How easy it is for us to say, "We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent" (Articles of Faith 1: 13). But how difficult for so many to resist the temptation to lie a little, cheat a little, steal a little, bear false witness in speaking gossipy words about others. Rise above it, brethren. Be strong in the simple virtue of honesty. (CR Apr 1992) ~~~~~~~ "MYSELF" by Edgar A. Guest I have to live with myself, and so I want to be fit for myself to know; I want to be able as days go by Always to look myself straight in the eye; I don't want to stand with the setting sun And hate myself for the things I've done. I don't want to keep on a closet shelf A lot of secrets about myself, And fool myself as I come and go Into thinking that nobody else will know The kind of a man I really am; I don't want to dress myself up in sham. I want to go out with my head erect, I want to deserve all men's respect; But here in the struggle for fame and pelf, I want to be able to like myself. I don't want to think as I come and go That I'm bluster and bluff and empty show. I never can hide myself from me, I see what others may never see, I know what others may never know, I never can fool myself --- and so, Whatever happens, I want to be Self-respecting and conscience free. - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

Be strong in the simple virtue of honesty. (CR Apr 1992) ~~~~~~~ "MYSELF" by Edgar A. Guest I have to live with myself, and so I want to be fit for myself to know; I want to be able as days go by Always to look myself straight in the eye; I don't want to stand with the setting sun And hate myself for the things I've done. I don't want to keep on a closet shelf A lot of secrets about myself, And fool myself as I come and go Into thinking that nobody else will know The kind of a man I really am; I don't want to dress myself up in sham. I want to go out with my head erect, I want to deserve all men's respect; But here in the struggle for fame and pelf, I want to be able to like myself. I don't want to think as I come and go That I'm bluster and bluff and empty show. I never can hide myself from me, I see what others may never see, I know what others may never know, I never can fool myself --- and so, Whatever happens, I want to be Self-respecting and conscience free. - - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

Date: 07 Aug 1998 17:36:35 -0600 There's a poem that John Bytheway quotes about Builders and Wreckers that would help illustrate the idea of 'building' each other instead of 'wrecking'. I don't know who the author is. Hope it helps: Builders and Wreckers I passed one day through a lonely town, And saw a man tearing a building down. With a how heave ho and a husky yell They swung a beam and a side wall fell. I asked the foreman, "Are these men skilled?" "The kind you'd hire if you had to build?" "Oh, no!" he said. "Oh, no indeed! The common laborer is all I need." "Why I can destroy in a day or two What builders have taken weeks to do." I thought to myself as I went on my way, Which of these roles have I tried to play? Am I a builder who works with care, Strengthening lives by a rule and square, Shaping my peers to a well-made plan, Helping them do the best they can? Or am I a wrecker who walks around Content with the labor of tearing down?

I, on the other hand was not even sure that there was a God, let alone that He cared for me. When we were teenagers she traveled from church to church and dragged me along. Most churches were okay, but she would go for a while then decide that the church did not have "it" so we moved on. I just wondered what "it" was! While on her quest, a few things happened to sour me on any church. We went to a youth group Sunday school. And the instructor asked me to read. I said no! Again she asked, again I said no. I was not familiar with the language of the Bible and did not want to read. She persisted. Finally I gave in. I read some passage and read... THE Holy SPRITE!!!! All the kids laughed at me. I refused to go back. I was hurt and humiliated. But, my sister kept looking and soon she was again bringing me to a different church. Another church had us place big red stickers on our clothes as we were entering the chapel for identifying visitors.. HA the minister in his sermon said all those with red stickers were going to H... if they did not come forward at that moment and be saved... Everyone in the chapel turned around to find us sinners.... At that point I shrunk in my seat ripped off the sticker and proceeded to turn around to help find those sinners with stickers!!!! At this point I thought religion was crazy and wanted out... Let her find it on her own!!!! I was never going to church! A few weeks passed by and there was a knock on the door. My mother answered. It was the missionaries! Was she looking for religion? No, She wasn't but her daughter was. Kelly took the lessons and recognized the truth ... as she was taught I peeked and thought WOW cute guys! She was soon baptized. Lucky me, the Mormons picked her up and so I did not have to go to church!!! A little celebration dance was in order!!! My sister changed. I was the ever pest of a little sister and wondered why she no longer would swear or party... So I made it my business to play the role of the tempter, I would push her buttons so she would swear, Then say Kelly, your such a BAD MORMON and walk away. Why, I wondered was she changing? What was so different about this church? Why did she keep going? What was so special about this church? The youth fellowshipped her. I would tag along occasionally until they pushed the sports program! I was hooked! But, they had this silly rule of once a month sacrament attendance. Pretty soon the youth became my friends. I helped clear the land for the chapel, But, I still wondered how long before my sister would switch religions. As she had so many times before. The leaders in the ward did their job sending missionaries to my house and I went through several sets of missionaries.. The cuter they were, the more discussions I had! :) I even invited my best friend to see these cute guys! Oh the primping we would go through before they came! But, soon because I was not serious, they stopped coming. After a year I wanted to again take the lessons. I asked for them to come and not tell my sister. They taught me a lesson and said Jesus created the earth! I thought what nerve! I told them they were stupid because EVERYONE knows God created the earth! They scripture referenced it and at that moment I thought I need to listen to these young men. Maybe they knew more than I did. Maybe they carried the truth. I remember the challenge in Moroni. Kneeling down. Asking if this was indeed truth. That sweet overwhelming feeling that YES, Joseph Smith was a prophet. Yes, the Book of Mormon is the word of God. There is a prophet on the earth today. There was a God! He heard my prayers! The yearning to be baptized. Has it been easy? No, on my wedding day, leaving my mother to be married in the temple and not to be able to share this day with her. My father threatening to bash in the temple doors. Today, sadly my sister is Less Active, I yearn to share those deep spiritual experiences with her, but am held back. I was but 16 when I joined. My testimony today is richer, deeper. I KNOW Christ is my Savior, my friend, my redeemer. He loves me, oh how He loves me in all my imperfections. Oh how I love Him, and look forward to embracing Him once again. I am forever grateful to the youth leaders who encouraged me, the youth that accepted me, even though my mother was living with her boyfriend and I came to church smelling like smoke grateful to my sister who showed me the truth, even though today she let go of the rod.. My life is richer and deeper because of my knowledge of the Savior.

It is the driving force. Then you have seconda= ry colors, but only one core color. When you are a mother at school or disciplining your children your red comes out. The color of the family is blue. Please read the book or get the tapes. I just came back from the Temple(3 hours each way) and we listened to the color code. It helps the young people to understand themselves. It is called the color code by Taylor Hartman. What is great he has a test and you can tell real quick what you are. His 800 # is 1-800-761-0001. His secretary is a neat lady,= I have called her often. =20 Let me tell you a story. Last May my son was invited to a senior prom = by a girl in Las Vegas. It is a 12 hour drive to Vegas from our home. I to= ld Paul I would drive him there, he really didn't want to go by himself. Pa= ul is white and they prefer not to be alone in a strange town. They offered = to pay for the plane ticket. I found out later there is a lot of money in Vegas. =20 We went and we had a great time. We had to leave on Sunday to come back for Paul's school on Monday. I normally would have said, we were going to leave early Sunday morning and go home. For two reasons( I am white and white people are very logical) 1: the trip will be 12 hours and (2) I was sick at the time, and felt I should drive during the day, I did not know = if I could stay awake at night time to drive. Paul had not driven my stick shift pick up so he could not help drive.=20 The minute we arrived in Vegas and took one look at the girls home, we could tell the mother was blue, later we determined the girl was very blu= e also. White people are not very sentimental, blue people are very sentimental. Because of the color code I knew it would me a great deal to this girl and her mother if we attended Sacrament meeting with them. So w= e attended Sacrament meeting with them. For me as a white person, this was not an easy decision to make. The Sacrament meeting started at 12:30 PM. = We stayed and I am glad we did. It took 12 hours to get home, and I made it without any trouble. Again the color code helps us to understand other colors. The goal is to get rid of the negative traits and pick up all the good ones. =20 Hope I haven't rambled too much. Please read and get to know your color, = it will be a great experience. Good Luck Ex-Bishop Daddy ex-bishop daddy... I have a serious problem! First I need to read your suggested book... Second, I'm all those colors! as soon as I heard your description of Red, I moaned and wanted to slink away. It's me through a= nd through. (And as a YW Pres, former RS Presidency member...that can be a challenge in and of itself)... THEN you went on to the next color, and lo= w and behold... that's me too (sometimes)...and on and on. I'm a chameleon= I guess, cause I am all of those at different times throughout a given week= .=20 :-) Maybe I should avoid the book... just one more thing to sap my time and confuse me even more .

Peck" Subject: Re: (lds-yw) Priesthood Date: 07 Aug 1998 22:31:41 -0600 You can glean whatever you like from this talk I had to give last year re= : PH. Use what you like, pitch it if nothing applies...=DC Charee Peck, Stake Young Women President, South Salt Lake Stake serryp@burgoyne.com One of the first books I read after I was baptized at the age of 20, besi= des the Book of Mormon, was a book called Gospel Principles. In that book I learned the very basics of the gospel plan. I read that our Heavenly Fat= her has great power, called the Priesthood. By His priesthood power the heav= ens and the earth were created. By this power, the universe is kept in perfe= ct order. Heavenly Father has shared this power with the inhabitants of the earth. The priesthood is not assumed by anyone, neither men nor women, but is bestowed on worthy men by those having the authority to bless and build t= he kingdom of God on earth. It=92s ultimate purpose here is to provide ever= y family with the sealing ordinances performed in the temple of God, that every son and daughter of God will take his or her rightful place in this patriarchal order. To exercise the Priesthood is to use it, to utilize it. To have faith in it, to sustain and support it, and the men who hold those sacred priestho= od offices. Each of us, from tiny children to older adults, male and female= , should exercise the priesthood, or use it to it=92s fullest potential, in= all areas of our lives. The proper order of the home is that the father presides over the family. He, being the priesthood holder has the power to bless, heal, and adminis= ter the savings ordinances of the gospel. His responsibility is to know the will of God concerning our family, to teach and encourage us to prepare f= or eternity as a family. If a father is not in the home, it is the mother=92= s responsibility to preside there, to utilize the priesthood of those aroun= d her for her family=92s sake. David and I are equal partners. He being the priesthood holder, and me being his assistant. Speaking about the priesthood, Elder John A Widtsoe wrote =93that every member shares in the gift bestowed, but under a prope= r organization. No man who understands the gospel believes that he is grea= ter than his wife, or more beloved of the Lord, because he holds the Priestho= od, rather that he is under the responsibility of speaking and acting for the family in official matters. It is a protection to the woman who, because= of her motherhood, is under a large physical and spiritual obligation. Motherhood is an eternal part of the Priesthood.=94 My responsibility in the priesthood as the wife and mother is to uphold a= nd sustain him, to act as his counselor, to offer advice and encouragement, = as well as take charge of many other matters in our family, especially the c= are and teaching of our little girl. Katie also has a responsibility in the priesthood. To obey her father an= d mother. To learn to understand as she grows our role as parents. To all= ow us to love her, but also to teach and train her, and discipline her as necessary. She needs to come to understand that we have the Lord=92s wil= l in mind when we teach her correct principles, and her responsibility is to obey. As she gets older, she also has a responsibility under the priesth= ood to prepare herself to be baptized and receive the Holy Ghost, to keep the commandments and learn the Lord=92s will concerning her. As she becomes a young woman she will have the responsibility to complete tasks in the Young Women program. The Young Women and other auxiliary programs came to us from the First Presidency, from the Priesthood, and therefore young people have the responsibility and duty to meet those requirements, to prepare themselves to partake of the blessings of the temple. I will teach and expect Katie to do the same, as she strives to honor the priesthood. If we have a son come to us, he will be prepared to hold offices in the priesthood. His responsibility will be to live a clean life to participa= te in those offices and to pass the sacrament. But Young Men hold another great responsibility. As many of you know, at the age of 15 I met a very handsome young man, who is now my husband. I have shared the story of my conversion and baptism many times, so I will say here that this young man= , this young Aaronic Priesthood holder, lived up to his Aaronic Priesthood duties, as found in D&C 42:12-13. Based on that contact, at the age of 20 I received the missionary discussions by two fine young Melchizidek Priesthood holders, was baptize= d, and received the Gift of the Holy Ghost, the greatest of all things I cou= ld have. Shortly before I married David, I received a Patriarchal Blessing by a St= ake Patriarch. This was a man of God, who was in tune with the spirit and li= ved up to His priesthood responsibilities. I was told many things in that blessing which calmed my fears and gave direction to my life. In additio= n to the words that were written down in that blessing, I heard words which told me that I would have a particular difficulty in my life, perhaps to prepare me for the emotional roller coaster I would later encounter. President Kimball said that a Patriarchal Blessing is conditional prophec= y. A Patriarch is a prophet entitled to the revelations of the Lord to each individual on whose head he places his hands. The blessings which he giv= es are conditional. They are promised, contingent upon their worthiness and fulfilling obligations. It just so happens that we have a Patriarch that lives in our Ward, Patriarch Penrod, who is also saying the closing praye= r today. He is a great man. May we utilize him as the Lord would have us = do. A year after my baptism and six months after I received my Patriarchal Blessing, I entered the Salt Lake Temple to receive my endowment. The endowment provided me with the power and information I will need to retur= n to my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ when this life is over. That same evening I was sealed to my husband for time and all eternity. All of the= se priesthood ordinances I have spoken about would probably not have happene= d if the young men I knew in high school, ages 16-17, hadn=92t lived up to = their Aaronic Priesthood responsibilities. Through my adult life I have had struggles, probably just as any woman would, and called upon my husband, a righteous priesthood holder, for priesthood blessings. On many occasions it was to be healed or comforted= , or just to help with a difficult situation. I felt the influence of the Holy Spirit upon me because of those blessings. I recall an instance that I had to speak in the Granite Park Stake. It w= as my assignment to address approximately 100 Young Women and their mothers about temple marriage. I had struggled with what to say to them, until t= he very day of the event. I was to be at the Stake Center at 6 PM and at 5 PM my mind was still a blank. I asked my husband to give m= e a blessing, which I think completely surprised him, because I was not sick,= to help the spirit to come to me so I might know what to say. With confiden= ce I would, I headed to the Stake Center with no notes to read from, but wit= h the assurance that the Lord would make His words known to me, which He di= d. This was a miracle to me. But there was one particular occasion, which some here have heard me spea= k about, that brought the power of the priesthood home to me. As I was carrying what I thought would be our first child, I began to experience the symptoms of a miscarriage. Having tried desparately to be= ar children for several years, this was devastating to me. My husband was o= ut of town and unavailable to participate in a priesthood blessing, so I cal= led a worthy member of our ward, a good friend of ours, to come with a compan= ion and offer a blessing. Prior to their arrival, all sorts of thoughts went through my mind, why w= as this happening to me? All I wanted was what I thought was a righteous desire, to be a mother. Why didn=92t Heavenly Father feel me worthy to receive this in my life? What had I done? Had I not truly repented of things I had done when I was young, even BEFORE I was baptized. I though= t of everything. When these two men placed their hands on my head for a blessing, I was immediately comforted. The words spoken from the mouth of our friend conveyed an important message to me. I suddenly understood that Heavenly Father knew me, Charee Peck, as an individual, by name, and more importan= tly that He knew me as His daughter. He knew the pain I was in, and his hear= t broke for me. The exact fears and questions I had discussed with no one, not even my husband, were put to rest. My questions were answered very specifically. The pregnancy ended, but through the power of the priestho= od I came to an understanding of the purpose of my life and what Heavenly Father had in store for me. I had a better understanding that day of t= he influence of the priesthood in my life. It was one of the most spiritual experiences I have ever had. The most recent priesthood experiences I can relate would be the sealing = of our daughter to us, and her name and blessing. What an experience that w= as. As most of you know, we adopted our daughter almost 4 years ago. Through Katie=92s name and blessing we were made aware that she chose to come to = earth precisely the way that she did, to bless our family. When we were in the Salt Lake Temple and Katie was sealed to us, the officiator said, =93I suppose you two are thinking you=92re doing yoursel= ves a real favor by being sealed to your little girl. But she is the one you a= re really doing the favor for." And then he read an excerpt from the April 1929 Conference Report, a talk by Orson F. Whitney. Read A Precious Promise And so we see the importance sealing our families together for eternity, = and our responsibility in the Priesthood to do so. For those here who may no= t have had your families sealed together, I would challenge you to do so. Take the plunge! Jump in and get your lives in order so that your family may receive all of the benefits of the priesthood and it=92s blessings in= your home. President David Young presented a wonderful message at Stake Conference about the importance of paying a full tithing. We as Latter-d= ay Saints should not let the issue of money keep us out of the temples of th= e Lord. We have an instance in our family where that has happened, for the past 17 years to someone we are very close to, and their family has suffe= red terribly for it. As parents we also have the responsibility and obligation to raise our children in righteousness. To teach them gospel principles and help them= to make correct choices, so they can be under the power and protection of th= e Priesthood in their lives. Earlier I spoke briefly on the roles of women in the Priesthood. Several years ago a woman asked me if I was LDS, I said yes. She said, =93How do= you like the way women are treated in your church?=94 I was surprised she wo= uld even ask! In the LDS church we are not shunned or put down as women. As President Hinckley has said in many press conferences, LDS women belong t= o the largest women=92s organization in the world. We have our own officer= s on a general level down to a local level, with opportunities to teach and wo= rk in that organization. We serve in Young Women=92s organizations, Childre= n=92s organizations, scouting, Sunday School, and more. If you think of it, we have the opportunity to serve in as many or more organizations than men d= o! And we love it. As a woman I accept callings and perform tasks under the direction of the priesthood. I am a Stake officer, and report to worthy men who guide, counsel, and direct me in my responsibilities toward the young women. I = am grateful for their support and tender counsel. They are concerned with a= ll women, young and old in this stake. Do I have power? Yes, the power to = do my job according to the Lord=92s will, the power to seek his will through inspiration. Do I have the priesthood power sought after by many women i= n the world? No. Do I want it? No. Do I feel less of a person without i= t? No! I find it interesting that the reverse of this situation is not true. You don=92t hear too many men being upset by their roles, being unable to physically bear a child. They don=92t say, hey! I want to be the one to= bear the children! I will only belong to a church where I can. President Hinckley has spoken out much about the important roles of women= in this Church. At the 1996 General Young Women meeting he said: Read paragraph from Ensign I attended the special meeting called by President Benson back in the lat= e 80=92s wherein he asked all women to stay home with their children, if at= all possible, to give up their jobs and become full time mothers if they can possibly make the sacrifice to do so. As I sat there I knew without a do= ubt that he was a prophet of God, and that he was speaking the Lord=92s will.= I promised that night that I would do whatever I could to obey that commandment. It is not always easy, but it has been well worth it. And = it is possible to be a mother and also be educated, as many here have shown. I would challenge the young people here today to live their lives worthil= y to participate in Priesthood ordinances. Young Men, live up to the Aaron= ic Priesthood you hold. Teach the gospel to your friends by your actions an= d words. In unnamed ways you will influence the lives of others around you= , including Young Women, by serving a mission. Young Women, learn to recognize the Priesthood in your lives. You are surrounded by it. But you need to make the choice to keep yourselves wor= thy to receive your endowment, and when you marry, choose a worthy Priesthood Holder to take you to the temple to seal your family. I would challenge each child here to ask for a blessing from your father = or a home teacher or grandfather or special friend, when you feel the need. Not just when you are sick, but when you need guidance and special help. Utilize the priesthood within your reach to bless your lives, and the liv= es of those who perform the blessings. In closing, I have discovered that you don=92t have to memorize scripture= s about the priesthood, or be an historian, or know the exact duties and responsibilities of the priesthood, (maybe you should but you don=92t hav= e to) to seek it=92s effect in your life. When we partake of priesthood ordin= ances and blessings, our extended families may be blessed as well. I have seen= a considerable difference in my non-member mother since I married David. W= hen she is concerned about marriage today in general, she is quick to make judgement about all men and their behavior. David reassures her that he = is in Church every Sunday and that he honors his priesthood. She has become= a more loving and gentle person since David has brought his influence into = my family As I stand here today I have come to understand that I am not just a woma= n who has rambled through life unnoticed by Heavenly Father. I have been under the open umbrella of the priesthood. It has been there all the tim= e to shelter me, teach me, protect me, chastise me, strengthen me, uplift m= e, challenge me, bring me joy, and to guide me back to my Heavenly Father, i= f I would but reach up and grab on to allow it to affect my life. I would challenge each of you to grab on to it=92s powerful effects, in the name = of Jesus Christ, Amen. -----Original Message----- >My lesson Sunday is on the priesthood and how "rocky" our lives might be= if >we didn't have the blessings of the priesthood in our lives.

Like I said earlier, we took a group of youth to the Temple today. We listened to the color code while traveling. While we were stopped at Wendys we talked about it. One young man said he had just been to see the Bishop because he was worried because he was, as he put it, so emotional. But after listening to the color code he know understands he is just blue and for blue people, emotions rule their life. What was neat one of the girls that I have been worried about for a while, loved the color code. She is also blue and it helped her understand why she thinks she has so many problems. To me these are the kind of tapes the YM-YW need to hear, it brakes the ground so we can talk. It was great.

The following information will assist you in understanding the four personalities listed below. Remember that your personality reflects your personal style of thinking, communicating, and behaving; thus there is great value in knowing your personality and characteristics and the characteristics of others. REDS (Motive.- POWER) Reds are motivated by power, seek productivity, and need to look good to others. Simply stated, Reds want their own way. They like to be in the driver's seat and willingly pay the price to be in a leadership role. Reds like to work - in school, in their careers and in their relationships. What Reds value, they get done. They are often workaholics. They will, however, resist being forced to do anything that doesn't interest them. Reds need to appear knowledgeable. They crave approval from others for their intelligence and insight. They want to be respected even more than they want to be loved. They want to be admired for their logical, practical minds. When you deal with a Red, be precise and f actual. BLUES (Motive: INTIMACY) Blues are motivated by intimacy, seek opportunities to serve, and need to be appreciated. Blues are thoughtful of others, and freely accept opportunities to give up something in order to bring another person happiness. Selflessness, rather than selfishness, is their guiding philosophy. They hold doors open for people, offer rides when someone's car breaks down, contribute to charity, even devote their entire lives to helping others. Blues are gratified when they are listened to and understood. With Blues, a simple pat on the back will not Suffice. They value sincere gratitude. Blues want to be appreciated and loved. They delight in being remembered on birthdays and other special days. Healthy Blues have a strong moral code of integrity that guides them in their decision making, their value judgments, even their leisure time. WHITES (Motive.- PEACE) Whites are motivated by peace, seek independence, and need kindness. They will do almost anything to avoid confrontation. Feeling good is more important than being good. They have a strong, silent stubbornness that surfaces when they are being treated unkindly. They respect people who are kind, but recoil from those who are hostile. Whites enjoy their quiet independence and refuse to be controlled by others. Whites want to do things their own way, in their own time. They ask little of others, and resent others demanding much of them. Whites are of ten tougher than people think. On the other hand, Whites often comply with unreasonable demands, just to keep the peace. YELLOWS (Motive.- FUN) Yellows are motivated by fun, welcome praise, and enjoy center stage. They consider' life to be a party and they're hosting. They love playful interaction and live by the 'better offer theory. Yellows need to be noticed and adored. Subsequently, nothing improves a relationship with a Yellow like praise. Yellows of ten appear as though they haven't got a care in the world. Actually they are quite sensitive and highly alert to other's motives. Yellows carry within themselves the gift of a good heart. Socially looking good is very important to Yellows and friendships command a high priority in their lives. Yellows are highly verbal. Easily bored, Yellows seek adventure. They can never sit still for long. They choose friends who, like themselves, refuse to allow life's boring details' to stifle their curiosity. They embrace each day in the 'present tense'.

Date: 07 Aug 1998 23:08:32 -0700 Here's one of my most favorite poems. I thought I'd share it with all of you! -Jenny IF JESUS CAME TO YOUR HOUSE If Jesus came to your house to spend a day or two--- If He came unexpectedly, I wonder what you=92d do. Oh, I know you=92d give your nicest room to such an honored Guest, And all the food you=92d serve to Him would be the very best, And you would keep assuring Him you=92re glad to have Him there--- That serving Him in your own home is joy beyond compare. But=97when you saw Him coming, would you meet Him at the door With arms outstretched in welcome to your heav=92nly Visitor? Or would you have to change your clothes before you let Him in, And hide some magazines and put the Bible where they=92d been? Would you turn off the T.V. and hope he hadn=92t heard, And wish you hadn=92t uttered that last loud, hasty word? Would you hide your worldly music and put some hymn books out? Could you let Jesus walk right in, or would you rush about? And I wonder=97if the Savior spent a day or two with you, Would you go right on doing the things you always do? Would you go right on saying the things you always say? Would life for you continue as it does from day to day? Would your family conversation keep up the usual pace, And would you find it hard each meal to say a table grace? Would you sing the songs you always sing and read the books you read And let Him know the things on which your mind and spirit feed? Would you take Jesus with you ev=92rywhere you=92d planned to go, Or would you maybe change your plans for just a day or so? Would you be glad to have Him meet your very closest friends, Or would you hope they=92d stay away until His visit ends? Would you be glad to have Him stay forever on and on, Or would you sigh with great relief when He at last was gone? It might be interesting to know the things that you would do If Jesus Christ in person came to spend some time with you. - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

I am not the best when it comes to writing things down. I have given many talks in church and I nev= er write them ahead of time. So I hope this is OK. First of all I need to le= t you know if you just take this talk and read it to your youth it will nev= er work. Read this talk over and put in some of what you have seen. You must work the crowd, when you give this talk. Young people do not want to be lectured. What I would do is always (for lack of a better word) pick on someone. I would say for example Joseph what would you do or how can you handle this girl that is dressed in a very short skirt. I know there are some of you out there who will be highly offended by what I say and how I said it. But in 5 years, none of the active girls in our ward became pregnant. There is another ward in our area, where the YM=92s president a= sked me to come speak about sex. The Bishop said no, that is a matter to be dealt with at home. The last count was 16 girls pregnant. I hope you can use this information, Again I wish I had the opportunity to present this = to you in person. I would love to have the opportunity. I always told the young people exactly what I thought, I never pulled any punches.=20 Good Luck Ex-Bishop Daddy =20 I start the water slide talk by writing on one side of the blackboard the words, =93Date=94 and on the other side =93immorality.=94 Between the tw= o words I draw three wavy lines going from top to bottom. On the other side of the board I draw two views of a water slide. One view is looking directly dow= n at the top of the water slide platform, the other is a side view of the water slide. On the top view of the water slide I draw little buildings, such as Ice Cream, Video Games, Donuts Shop, Cookies & Candy Video=92s &C= D=92s. Between the building I draw the entrance to a water slide, with it almos= t covered. So, if someone would run from one store to the next, and if they were not careful they would fall down the slide. =20 Video games =09 ______________I_______________ Donuts Slide Cookies Candy _____________________________ =09 I read in the paper the other day they are going to build a new water slide water park in Redding (or any town that is near where you live that would have a park or even your town) This park will be like no other park you have seen. It is on top of a platform and you will have to climb a hill to get there. There will be all kinds of entertainment on the water slide. You can do just about anything you want at this park. But you mus= t be careful. It has built in traps. If you are not careful, when you are running from the cookie store to the donut shop you might fall down the slide. When you fall in the slide, if you try real hard the first few feet, you will be able to stop. If you wait a few seconds and then try to stop it will be almost impossible. You will be out of control. As you continue down the water slide, you realize you are no longer in control, you are caught up in the ride. When you get to the bottom of the water slide, instead of being filled with water, you see there is nothing but jagged rocks. In about two seconds you will hit them and there is nothing you can do to stop. That is exactly how it feels after you have been immoral. Just horrible. Most young people say I will never do that, I can handle it. Lets see if you can. . Most of you will never be arrested for grand theft auto, murder, bank robbery or any of the big things. Why is it, I don=92t think you will be arrested for any of those crimes? The reason I do not think you will be arrested is because you do not go around thinking about it nor do you hav= e the necessary equipment to do so. Things such as dynamite, plastic explosives, guns, or tools to hot-wire a car. If you are going to make a mistake, it will be in the moral area. Our Father in Heaven has given yo= u all the necessary equipment and desires to create life. Now then let=92= s talk about, the proper things to do on a date:=20 #1: NEVER DATE until you are 16 and then only date in groups. Surveys ha= ve been conducted and the results were the younger you start dating the quicker you become immoral. It was interesting, if you wait until you ar= e 16 the chances of being immoral were practically zero. Lets say you are 1= 6 and you want to start dating. You have found this real good looking girl and you want to take her out. So, you believe you are just a little smart= er than the rest of us and you can handle it. Young people DO Not fall into this trap. I have watched many young people steady date ate the age of 16 and their attitude always was-- I am smarter then any one else and I can handle it. Young people you can't. I was talking to a young girl one day and I will never forget what she said to me.. She said, =93I wish five minutes before I committed adultery, I knew, how it would feel, five minutes after I did it.=94 =20 When you date, never steady date until after your mission, for the youn= g men. When people start to date, I have noticed a pattern. =20 Boy Girl Six months To =09 Nine months =09 X (Draw this on the board and draw a line from boy to the X, and than a lin= e from girl to X.) When young people start to date, they talk a lot and have a lot of fun. They enjoy being together, and the dates are planned out. For the first s= ix to nine months the relationship is progressing and growing. There is a purpose to the relationship. After this time the relationship becomes stale. There is nothing new to do. There is nothing new to talk about. Y= ou have kissed and held hands and done all you can legally do. There is nothing left to do, except to get into trouble. The fun dates are gone, instead of planning dates, you just get together and hang out with each other. Another valuable rule is do not just hang out with each other. Ma= ke the dates special. If you spend too much time with one person again, thin= gs become to familiar, too comfortable. When this happens you start to act like married people and your defenses are weakened. I have found when t= he talking stops, the kissing starts. Fights start and the relationship is= a stale and miserable one. =20 #2.A lot of young people ask: =93What can we do on a date, like kissing?=94= My answer to the boys is You can give her a short good night kiss, IF she lets you. Not a vacuum cleaner kind. You can put your arm around her, only if she lets you. And that is it. Nothing more. If you follow this advice I know you will be able to be married in the covenant. =20 I have seen some young people laying on the floor together, or laying, sitting on a couch together. To me this is wrong, again you are becoming to familiar and comfortable with each other. I believe it is John Bythew= ay that tells this story. He was at home with his date on a Saturday afternoon. His mom, dad, and sister were in the same room with him and hi= s date. John and his date were laying on the floor, about six inches apart, looking at a magazine. His mom called him into the kitchen and told, him she was not happy they were on the floor together. John says he was a little upset, because they were not doing anything. It was broad daylig= ht and people were in the room. His mom said she would feel better if he wou= ld please sit on the couch. John went back in and sat on the couch and so hi= s date got up and sat there also. In a little while John and his date left = to go miniature golf. When he came home that night he was still mad at his m= om for not trusting him. =20 A week later John and this same girl were going to go to the show. John picked her up and realized he had left his wallet at home. He drove back = to his house and ran inside. After getting his wallet from this bedroom, he came back into the living room and his date had turned on the TV. The roo= m was dark and the mood music was playing. He laid down next to his date on the floor, and he saw his mom walk in. He jumped up and realized it was only in his mind. She was not really there. Then it dawned on him, Mom wasn=92t worried about last week she was trying to teach him correct principles for this week. He immediately turned off the TV, grabbed his date and out the door they went. =20 You say you can handle Satan. Let=92s look at the facts. How many years= has Satan had to practice against you? We know one day in the Lord=92s time = is 1000 yrs to us. So, How many years old is Satan? We know the Bible say= s we have been here for about 6,000 Yrs. About 4,000 before Christ and 2,0= 00 since. Now, it took 7 days to create the earth, each day 1,000 yrs. So this makes a minimum of 13,000 yrs. You are 16 yrs old. Now, do you thi= nk you are smart enough to go up alone against someone who is that experienced. Alone you will not survive, if you follow the council of the church, you will. =20 #3. Never be alone with someone of the opposite sex. Never! Always group date. Missionaries go out 2 by 2. Why do you think that is so? For protection.=20 We have been instructed, by the Brethren, never to have a brother and sister alone together. Whether driving or working together. Bishop Broderick tells the following story: Bishop Broderick was the Branch Pres. in a small branch in Alabama. They had a Stake conference. He was instructed to be at a meeting on Saturday and to bring the Relief Society President with him. But they were not to drive alone, they needed someon= e to ride with them. Bishop Broderick could not understand these instructions, He knew nothing would happen because she was twice his age and he was happily married.=20 This was not a rich Branch, but his counselor took time off, and lost money, to ride with them. This concerned Bishop Broderick. During the conference Pres. Kimball asked if there were any questions from the group= .=20 He raised his hand and said. =93You trust us as leaders with the keys of = the kingdom, to judge people but at the same time you do not rust us to ride 100 miles in broad daylight with someone of the opposite sex?=94 Pres. Kimball replied. =93Pres. Broderick is it your considered opinion, we hav= e nothing to do all day long but sit around and make up silly rules for you to follow?=94 Bishop Broderick said: =93Why, uh Yes=94 Pres Kimball sai= d: =93Pres Broderick, we only came up with those rules after losing many good Bishop= s and Relief Society sisters.=94 =20 If this can happen to the Bishops and Relief Society Presidents, it can happen to you. I have heard of young people taking trips alone, togethe= r. This is not right. You are only asking for trouble. Never stay overnight with any one of the opposite sex. There is no one that can walk through the mud and not get muddy. It cannot be done. Emotions are a strong force to reckon with. =20 #3. Along these same lines, never go into the bedroom of any one of the opposite sex. Going into their bedroom, helps to drop your guard. Things becomes to familiar and comfortable. I have known of students who just went into a bedroom to study and wound up being immoral because it was convenient. Just think, would you give a loaded pistol to a child to play with? It is the same. This is reserved for married people. The devil wor= ks on one little thing at a time. This may not sound like a biggie, but if y= ou stay out of their bedroom it will make a great difference with your relationship with that person. =20 I have watched how the devil operates, he is cunning and crafty. He wil= l use every good thing he can to destroy you. =20 #4. Appropriate clothing. I wish you young women knew the effect your clothing has on the young men. Why does the prophet say no short dresses= ? Why does he say do not wear low cut dresses? Why no bikini=92s or two pie= ce swimming suits. When you wear dresses that are too short or low cut dresses, the young men start thinking thoughts they shouldn=92t. The onl= y way to describe this, would be. Men react to these situations like microwave ovens. Quick. Where the young women act more like crock pots.=20 Slow. Remember the young men are visually stimulated, young women are no= t. If you do not believe this, what about Playboy Magazine? It will alway= s outsell any of the magazines printed for girls to look at. In fact just look at any magazine counter and what do you see?. I was teaching this to a group of Laurels one day and they did not believe me. So I took the entire class into the Priest=92s quorum. There were six young men there. = I told the Priests, what we had been talking about with the Laurels. I ask= ed the What do short dresses and low cut dresses do to them. Everyone of the= m said, they felt very uncomfortable because they started thinking about wh= at they saw. I had one Priest who went to pick up a Laurel for a date and h= e would not take her until she changed her blouse. It was sleeveless and he was uncomfortable with what he could see. The Laurel was very mad but she changed her blouse. - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

Date: 08 Aug 1998 20:30:32 -0700 The room was decorated in temple dress, baptismal dresses, and blessings gowns. and pictures of families and newlyweds dressed in their wedding attire in front of Temples. We started with one of the Beehives reciting from memory the poem "Three White Dresses". Moms then talked about the feelings they had on the day their daughters were blessed. Then the young women and their moms talked about their baptisms, not all were spiritual some where funny. Then we had Mom's tell about their sealings and how important that was for them. Last we had a young woman, that had been married in the Temple about a year ago , talk about what being married in the Temple meant to her. She concluded her talk on dating and standards and a reminder to set their goals to aspire to; be able to walk through the Temple Doors and be sealed for time and all eternity, to a man who loves them so much, he wanted to take them to the Temple. >MY THREE WHITE DRESSES > >My mom bought me a white dress, not red or pink or blue. >She said it was a special dress, Like very other few. >There has been just one before, A dress now put away, >That I wore some time ago, Upon my blessing day. >As a little baby clothed, In my first white dress >My dad held me in his arms, There to name and bless. > >So pure and clean was I just hen, With time to grow and learn >About the Father's plan for me, My glory I must earn. > >Now I've reached the age to judge, The wrong road from the right, >And I am here to be baptized, In this dress of white. >So once again I'm free from sin.

A friend just got back from a holiday ski trip to Utah with the kind of story that warms the cockles of anybody's heart. Conditions were perfect. 12 below, no feeling in the toes, basic numbness all over, "tell me when we're having fun" kind of day. One of the women in the group complained to her husband that she was in dire need of a restroom. He told her not to worry, that he was sure there was relief waiting at the top of the lift in the form of a powder room for female skiers in distress. He was wrong, of course, and the pain did not go away. If you've ever had nature hit its panic button in you, then you know that a temperature of 12 below zero doesn't help matters. So, with time running out, the woman weighed her options. Her husband, picking up on the intensity of the pain, suggested that since she was wearing an all-white ski outfit, she should go off in the woods. No one would even notice, he assured her. The white will provide more than adequate camouflage. So she headed for the tree line, began disrobing and proceeded to do her thing. If you've ever parked on the side of a slope, then you know there is a right way and wrong way to set up your skis so you don't move. Yup, you got it. She had them positioned the wrong way. Steep slopes are not forgiving, even during embarrassing moments. Without warning, the woman found herself skiing backward, out-of-control, racing through the trees, somehow missing all of them, and into another slope. Her derriere and the reverse side were still bare, her pants down around her knees, and she was picking up speed all the while. She continued on backwards, totally out-of-control, creating an unusual vista for the other skiers. The woman skied, if you define that verb loosely, back under the lift and finally collided violently with a pylon. The bad news was that she broke her arm and was unable to pull up her ski pants. At long last her husband arrived, put an end to her nudie show, then went to the base of the mountain and summoned the ski patrol, who transported her to a hospital. In the emergency room she was regrouping when a man with an obviously broken leg was put in the bed next to hers. "So. how'd you break your leg?" she asked, making small talk. "It was the darndest thing you ever saw," he said. "I was riding up this ski lift, and suddenly I couldn't believe my eyes. There was this crazy woman skiing backward out-of-control down the mountain with her bare bottom hanging out of her clothes and pants down around her knees." "I leaned over to get a better look and I guess I didn't realize how far I'd moved. I fell out of the lift." "So, how'd you break your arm?" >> --part0_902606774_boundary Content-ID: <0_902606774@inet_out.mail.aol.com.2> Content-type: message/rfc822 Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Content-disposition: inline Return-path: Cc: DJohn81476@aol.com, Linfer47@aol.com, lcstewart@juno.com, SarahBigRe@aol.com, dcooke@juno.com, GFSBill@aol.com, asaabye1@maine.rr.com, Skitch112@aol.com, morganjn@intcomm.net, szimmer@scnc.hcisd.k12.mi.us, Chuck2@evcom.net, JRoos69407@aol.com, parker@thegrid.net, dcook@conknet.com, Burtskid@aol.com, PHirl@aol.com, robs@the-spa.com, afranks1@juno.com, KHoward471@aol.com, ThomasGalloway@compuserve.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Hi all!

You sure are on the go! What are you doing in PA? Alice, I went to the Aldrich Webpage--which was already in my "favorite places"--been there a few times before :) But I didn't get to see you!!! Couldn't do a thing! Page isn't working properly tonight :( Can't get anywhere but main page. Couldn't even send John an email to tell him from there. Had to go back to regular AOL email -- but did send a note to tell him of the problem. I was glad to be of help Phil! Alison, don't worry about updating Jillson -- enjoy your guests! We can all wait until you have time to do it without feeling pressured. We are, indeed, on a buying binge! Who's next? Dawn, I'm glad your son is okay. We mothers sure do have a tendency to imagine the worst :) I've been there a few times myself :) Still do it even though they are grown. They don't like it much -- but I tell them it is what I'm supposed to do -- I'm a mother!!!! I've been working with family reunion pictures today. Picked up reprints, sorted, got some ready for mail, realized I was missing a few, etc. Will have to take a few negatives back for more prints tomorrow. I know what some of you are going through trying to get Munchie reunion pictures ready :) Well, must run... Love to all, Sue PS -- I just heard back from John -- he's working on the Aldrich page tonight--that's why I had a problem--so, if anyone else wants to try, wait until tomorrow.

Our plans entailed dividing into 2 groups and having one group read 45 min while the other group ate, rested, played board games, watched church videos, etc., and then switch. We planned to read all night, watch the sunrise, have a devotional and breakfast...preferably a Friday from about 5 p.m. to Saturday 9 a.m. The problem is a place to hold it. The church building is limited to activities lasting no longer than 10:30 p.m. That seems to be firm in our stake. One ward did it by cutting an old BOM into about 25 pieces and kids would take a section, read silently until done and then take it back to a basket and exchange for another. They did this on a regular activity night and since all pieces were out....read the BOM in one night. Then they discussed questions, thoughts, testimonies. Any suggestions out there? We want to get the youth really involved in the reading but want them to understand what they have read. We could start early...maybe around 5 and go to 10:30. Has anyone done something similar? We just wanted a terrific activity to end the summer and have it be spiritually oriented at the same time. Or...do you have any other activities that you had a great time doing?

After a week at the beach, I'm back and trying to get caught up on the list. I think I've decided on our theme for our Back to School Night. Has anyone read John Bytheway's book "Things I Wish I'd Known in High School" (or something like that). I think we'll have mini workshops on some topics in the book like popularity, spirituality, self-esteem, etc. Does anyone have any ideas? Before I go full force on this idea, I just wanted to see if any of you creative minds had some suggestions. We are also thinking of giving them an inexpensive school supply in each class with a little saying - i.e. a ruler to keep them on the straight and narrow. What do you think??

I am the 2nd counselor in our Stake Young Women Presidency and I heard something interesting in a Ward Conference meeting today that really struck a chord with me. A member of the stake presidency asked the women in the meeting how many of them could tie a man's tie. None of the women raised their hands. He then asked them how many times they have seen a man tie his tie - obviously the answer was "many." His point was that having the young women watch their leaders plan and carry our activities was just like having them watch someone tie a tie. You don't learn by watching, you learn by doing. This concept intrigued me and I started relating it to Young Women leaders. We have some presidencies in our stake that are struggling to "get a handle" on what is expected of them as leaders - and understandably so. But I was wondering if any of you experienced and "seasoned" leaders would have any suggestions as to how we might to be able to conduct training for the YW presidencies that would really be of benefit to them. I always get the feeling that when we orient new presidencies, that we aren't getting anywhere - that they possibly go away feeling overwhelmed and still not sure of what they need to do. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Ames from Idaho - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

We did it on Saturday, started really early in the morning, but you were free to come whatever time you wanted to. We were encouraged to stay the whole activity, but again, could leave if we needed to. the ward provided food, and drinks, and we held in a bldg on campus, but the ward bldg would work the same way. They had pictures of BOM scenes in the rooms. Some rooms had soft church music playing, others were quiet, one room you could go to for a break, and discussions about what you were reading-the Bishop was there to help answer questions. This was a great day, even if you didn't read the whole book!. We ended (don't remember exact time) with a testimony meeting, and then a BBQ, and it was great. If you really want to do it all night (I would have a hard time staying awake all night to read) maybe you could do it at a leader's home- and have the leader's younger children stay overnight at a friends if necessary. I would suggest having everyone bring their own scriptures, that way they could mark as they go. I also have some problems with cutting up a BOM, but maybe that is just me.

The scouts each deliver so many advertisements in pre-selected areas and then are paid on the volume delivered. I am not certain of the price paid per advertisement, but there was enough need for additional distribution that they invited our young women to participate as a fund raiser for girls camp. We required the girls to go in groups of two and/or with their parent(s) for security reasons. They had to go before sunset, and they had a deadline of when the deliveries had to be completed. Each girl made enough in two to three hours of delivery time to pay for their camp fee, as well as a dollar for secret sister gifts. Perhaps you coul brainstorm about people in your ward or stake, or individuals with contacts which may require similar advertising needs. Many years ago when we still had ward budget offerings, our ward stuffed advertising fliers into the city paper for weekend delivery. We would have to go two weekends a quarter for quite a marathon session, but it was usually sufficient to meet a large percentage of the budget assessment. Perhaps there are still similar needs somewhere in your community. ---------- > From: Valgy@aol.com > To: lds-yw@lists.xmission.com > Subject: Re: (lds-yw) Sunday lessons > Date: Sunday, August 09, 1998 8:54 PM > > We had a problem with the camp budget and we are allowed to have one > fundraiser per year for this purpose.

You can have as many fund-raisers as you want. No if or ands about it. When people read the guide lines they do not read them properly. At high council last week we went over this. The part that the Bishops and the Stake presidents are missing, is, it states all activities will come out of the budget. Isn't camp for the girls an activity? It states Young women camp MAY be paid for out of the budget. The Young Women are encouraged to earn their money but if they cannot the budget should pay for it. It also states if funds are not available from the budget then use fund-raisers. You might want to have a meeting with your Bishops and talk about this. This info is on page 13 and 14 of the budget guidelines.

Then he takes the pencil to the back of the table and says the pencil will not fall if it is not even near the edge, much safer, etc. Joan in SLC - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

FAMILY FEUD PREP TIME: Several hours COST: $4.00 for candy from the $1 store FUN: Lots Step 1: QUESTIONS. I polled the YW list, Parents list and the teem list with 25 different questions. After recieving over 100 answers I took the top 4-8 answers and reduced the number of questions to 20. Some questions while sounding good just did not get enough variety to use. The answers to the questions with my comments are below. Step 2: SETTING UP THE GAME. I used Corel Presentations and my computer to set up the questions (I have a laptop and can connect it to a TV). This could also be done with poster boards, I think (be original). At the top of each screen was the question which wasn't revealed until after it had been read. Then the answers were below, covered, with the highest response first and going down the page in descending order. The number of responses was the number of points each answer was worth. Step 3: SETTING UP THE ROOM. We met in a narrow, long room. Down the middle I put 4 standard church classroom tables in a long row. I placed chairs against both walls for the teams to sit on. When a team was answering a question they would line up along the side of the tables while the other team sat in their chaires. This allowed me to walk down one side to ack each person the question. I used a rolled up dish towel with rubberbands around it for a "buzzer". Step 4: PLAYING THE GAME. As the girls arrived we divided them into "families" trying to keep the number of Beehives, MiaMaids and Laurels even on each team. The oldest girl was the "head" of the family. The "head" came to the front where the rolled up towel was and was asked the first question. The first person to grab the towel won the chance to answer. If there answer was the number 1 she would ask her team if they wanted to play or pass. If her answer wasn't the number one her opponent had the right to try and guess a higher answer. Whoever got the higher answer option to play or pass. Once it was decided which team would play each girl would return to her spot in line and the team playing would stand up. PLAY: The team deciding to play would have the right to try and figure out all the answers to the question before missing three times, "strikes" (I used cardboard X's for strikes). I would just go down the line of girls asking each one in turn the question. In each round I started with the girl that was after the one that came to the front. If they received three strikes the other team had the chance to "steal" the points. During "play" no player may help another come up with an answer. I used a time limit of 15 seconds to answer and if no answer was given it would be a strike. PASS: If a team decides to pass the other team must play. A team would decide to do this if they think the question is hard and they can get a chance to steal. STEAL: If the team playing fails to find all the answers before three strikes the opposing team get the chance to steal. All players give the "head" possible answers and then the "head" gives the MC one answer. If the answer is on the board the stealing team gets the points that had been revealed before the steal. If the answer is not on the board the "playing team" gets the points. Time limit of 15 seconds to discuss possible answers. Play continues like this with the next member of the family coming to the front and so on and so forth. After all questions (or a pre-set time) have expired the team with the most points wins. For a prize I bought a couple of bags of gold chocolate coins for the winning team and tootsie roll suckers for everyone. Activity went very well with all involved enjoying it. The questions were just hard enough to allow for lots of attempted steals. QUESTIONS: Disclaimer: There is no scientific basis for these answers, they are all for fun. 1.

However, I was wondering how other wards > handle birthdays. I am the world's worst birthday person!! I'm the YW Pres., and I have an non-functioning secretary right now, so the admin stuff is mostly on me. We were called in Feb, already past 2 girls birthdays, then I dilly-dallied around and couldn't decide what to do, and suddenly it was June!! (I told you I was BAD). So we had a big birthday party in July for all the girls' birthdays. And it was a pool party (to make sure everyone showed up :). We did a big birthday cake and handed out presents, and they had great fun just playing together. On their birthdays, we just congratulate them and wish them happy birthday (and have it on the month's calendar). The gift we gave this year (in July) was a little terra cotta pot (5" tall?), painted white, then simply decorated with dots or triangles or hearts, and the girl's name. Different colored markers based on the girl's favorite colors. We only have 15 girls, so it's not hard to keep track. Then we put floral foam inside, covered it with moss, and stuck 7 short skewer sticks around in the foam. I had gotten a bunch of 1 1/2" wooden hearts, which I painted value colors. I glue gunned 7 hearts onto each girl's sticks, then tied a little ribbon bow under the heart (because it kind of looked naked standing up on that skinny skewer stick!). We used bows in the same colors as the value hearts, but it could have been all white. We already had craft paint and ribbon, so it cost about $4 per girl for the pots, foam and hearts. It could have been cheaper if I'd planned ahead, shopped sales, etc. But, of course, I made them all in one evening (the day before the party). --Don't do as I do!-- We specifically wanted something they could put up on a shelf in their room to remind them of the values. I still want to do better about birthdays, but I'm starting from ground zero, so I have to move slowly.... :) Laurie in Oceanside, CA - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

Perhaps they will be of some benefit to someone. The Holy Ghost acts under the direction of the Father and the Son to teach, testify, enlighten, comfort, guide, and sanctify. No matter how righteous a man or woman may be, they cannot fulfill the role of the Spirit. We may say that we want to give our students a "spiritual experience". We cannot. We can do things that can influence whether or not the Spirit is present, but we cannot fulfill his role. It is the the Holy Ghost that "carrieth it unto the hearts of the children of men" (2 Ne 33:1). Though we may master many teaching skills and methods, we can still fail to provide an edifying experience if the Spirit is not present. Teaching by the Spirit is defined as taking place when the Holy Ghost is performing his functions with the teacher, with the student or with both. It can happen during preparation time, during time when the teacher is interacting with the students, even out of class. It can happen long after the class is over. Roles of the Holy Ghost as related to teaching and learning: 1. Shows a person what to do (2 Ne 32:5, D & C 28:15; 39:6) 2. Bestows "fruits of the Spirit", which include love, peace, joy, patience (Galatians 5:22-23; D&C 6:23; 11:12-13) 3. Gives "gifts of the Spirit" (Moroni 10:8-17; D&C 46:11-26) 4. Inspiration in a "moment's notice" (Luke 12:11-12; D&C 84:85, 100:5-6) 5. Carry truth to the heart of a person (2 Ne 33:1) 6. Enhance a person's skills and abilities (1 Ne 18:1-4; D&C 46:18) 7. Edifies teacher and student (D&C 50:22-23; 84:106; 1 Cor 14:12) 8. Brings ideas, principles into remembrance (John 14:26) 9. Gives us power of discernment (Alma 12:3; 18:16-35; D&C 63:41) 10. Testifies of truth (John 15:26; D&C 21:9; 100:8) 11. Allows person to speak with authority (1 Ne 10:22; Alma 18:35, Moroni 8:16) 12. Gives comfort (John 14:26; D&C 88:3) The importance of teaching with the Spirit, in my opinion, cannot be understated. Sometimes we are tempted to "sugar coat" the gospel when teaching. Elder McConkie once said " If you want to know what emphasis to give the principles of the gospel, simply teach the scriptures and in the process, you will have given the Lord's emphasis to every doctrine and principle." In a conference talk not too long ago, and I can't remember the speaker at the moment, she said that the students should not leave a classroom thinking how awesome the teacher is, but how awesome the gospel is. I have been in classes where the Savior has not even been mentioned, where the scriptures have not even been opened. I hope I have not rambled on too long. Just my two cents.

I heard about it on this list. It sounded like a great idea & so we did it! My question is.... how many books did you order? We have tried to have people "reserve" their copies of the books... but can't get a hold of everyone & am just trying to figure out how many extra to get above the "reserved" number. Is there a magic formula for figuring this out? How many books did you sell? Any advice from anyone who's been there? I'm trying to get the order off this week. Thanks so much!

Here is our agenda for anyone who saves this kind of stuff. Theme: Follow your own North Star Tuesday: Crafts - pony bead animals (lizards, mice, turtles, frogs, etc) Tubing down the river. Campfire program - our Pres. introduced the theme and talked about how important it is to follow Christ like sailors followed the north star. Wednesday: Tube the river, Mountain Cricket, Volleyball Crafts- hair wrapping (boy did I do a lot of hair!!!!) "Star" skits - each girl dressed as a movie star or famous person and did a skit. These were so funny and the girls had a blast. Even the leaders did a "doo waap" song. Thursday: Group activity- rope activity done by a girl from BYU more tubing down the river Secret sister announcements (every day we gave something to a SS and then the last night before testimony meeting we found out who everyone had. Testimony meeting Friday: Pack up camp and leave for Pineview Reservoir to water-ski until 4:00 drive home at 4:00 The Laurels always "get" the beehives and new leaders. They had tried to scare us with all the things they would do to us. I think they succeeded to scare the beehives. The first night there were no pranks done by the Laurels. The beehives got the laurels terribly. This upset the laurels because "it isn't supposed to work that way". The next night the laurels had brought up earth worms - yes real ones. They put them on the beehives foreheads while they were sleeping. Then they woke them up and boy could you hear the screaming. Later that night, the two leaders in the next tent to me started screaming. They had been "wormed" too. I laughed so hard I couldn't stop. My roomy and I had tied our zipper together with a shoe lace and pulled it into the tent. We were safe. The last night the laurels gave up. They said it wasn't fun getting beehives that would get them back. I was really proud of the beehives for not rolling over to the laurels. I think the laurels learned something too. Over all it was a wonderful trip. We did have one girl fall in the river and cut her hand. It was nice to have the priesthood brethren there to give her a blessing. She really wanted one. We drove to a nearby town and received 8 stitches. That was my experience.

We thought we would be able to get rid of all of them but I think those books are still around somewhere haunting us!! What I have observed is that the YW in my ward are a bit slow at selling and rely solely on the ward members for support - no matter how often they are told to go outside the ward to family and friends! You know your YW better than anyone - what's realistic for each one to sell? So I would come up with an amount of total dollars you need to raise from this project and figure out how many books each girls needs to sell in order to reach that goal. Last year our YW sold Christmas Wreaths and I ended up selling more than anyone of them - without really trying. I think the greatest part of fundraising is in teaching the youth responsibility but they also need alot of supervision (at least in my ward!). I personally don't agree with the way the YW leaders in my ward do it - the girls are just given order forms and that's it. I happen to think it would work better if they were given a certain goal to reach in a certain amount of time. At the end of that time period they can then return and report the amount of their sales. Then they could be sent out with another goal amount if necessary. Just my opinion ...

Each adult YW leader is going to prepare a Christmas story-it could be from memory or a reading from a favorite book. Then to go along with the story, we will make an ornament for each girl that symbolizes the story. We will take the two weeks before Christmas to share our stories. At the end of each presentation, we hand out the ornament and a copy of the story. Each girl will get a file folder to keep her stories in, and be told that this is the start of their own personal christmas ornament collection. This also serves as our Christmas gift to each girl as well as to each other. For example, my story is going to be The Little Match Girl and I am going to hand out an angel made from an old fashioned clothes pin, holding a match. If this is done each year, by the time a YW is 18, she should have quite a collection! >Hi, >The song is Amy Grant, "Mary's Song". It is on her CHristmas CD. The video >is entitled "Luke II".

This "journey" takes six weeks. If you are an advisor, you will want to involve each girl in your class. If not an advisor, then choose two or three YW who will benefit most from your attention. A small booklet was given to each leader. On the first page was a heart with these words written below: "Your role is a sweet one. Few things bring such sweet satisfaction as the knowledge that we have a friend who cares. God loves each one of His children -- of that we are absolutely assured. We know it in our hearts. But God needs instruments of His love. He needs those who can carry His love and make it meaningful and personal in the lives of others." Marion D. Hanks Each page in the booklet had a hot air balloon on it. In the 1st balloon, it said: First week: The Mind and Heart of Love Below it: Moroni 7:48 (written out) then: Never attempt to make this journey alone. You cannot do it without the companionship of the Holy Ghost. So use this week to prepare yourself spiritually for this journey. Strengthen yourself by doing the following: 1. Look inward and evaluate your capacity to love. 2. Read the scriptures daily (esp. book of John) 3. Keep the commandments. 4. Attend church meetings. 5. Pray each day - including the YW in your prayers. Continue these 5 steps throughout the 6 weeks of your journey. Week 2: The Hand of Love (again, in a hot air balloon) "The impact teacher cares with an attitude of pure charity. What miracles she can achieve by giving honest appreciation and an honest sense of self-worth." Vaughn J. Featherstone Write a note to each YW and share your feelings about each one. Tell them how much you appreciate her. If she is less active, express your sincere desire to have her participate. Week 3 - The Voice of Love D&C 108:78 (written out) Telephone each YW once during the week and express your love and concern for her as an individual, or just to say thank you, or I'm sorry, etc. Try to find out more about her, her talents, qualities, interests, etc. Be warm and sincere and positive. Phone calls to conduct class business do not count. Week 4 - The Deed of Love "I wish to declare without reservation that the ultimate judgment of every man will be on the simplest terms and most certainly on what each has done to bless people in a quiet unassuming way." Robert L. Simpson Do something special for each YW anonymously. Plan your actions carefully and carry them out as secretly as possible. Week 5 - The Beauty of Love 2 Nephi 32:3 Visit each YW in her home and take a small remembrance you have made for her. A pie, a basket, pillow or bookmark - some simple handmade item that has your love for a wrapping. Week 6 - The Victory of Love Galatians 5:22-23 This is the week of celebration. Stop and evaluate the progress you have made in: 1. Personal growth. 2. Awareness of the love you have developed or strengthened for each of the YW and your calling. Express your appreciation to your Heavenly Father for His help in your journey. If a less active girl has begun to attend as a result of your efforts, feel gratitude that you have been an instrument in bringing her back to the fold. If not, take comfort that you wil be blessed for your efforts and the seeds you have sown may yet bring forth fruit in another season. The YW leaders in the wards were very enthusiastic about this - most are trying to do these things anyway, but sometimes it helps just to have some sort of plan. Hope this makes sense! Have a great day! Ü Nancy - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

We had about 70 pre-ordered cookbooks (1/2 of them paid up front). We ordered 100 and I fretted that we would not be able to sell them. Within 3 months of receiving the order, we were out and for a year since, I have had people asking about them. Our ward is relatively small ~150 total RS sisters. It's not that every one bought one, but, those who did bought more than one. Great gifts to less active sisters, too. We also have alot of families moving in and moving out. New ones will ask about how to get a cookbook. I haven't seen a set rule on how many to order. It probably wouldn't be hard to sell to other wards near you after you have saturated your ward.

Sample Presidency Meetings b. Sample Class Presidency Meetings c. Personal Progress Interview If you create a comfortable enough atmosphere in your stake meetings, you could demonstrate an interview and then let different sisters role play the situation. This would give them a form of "doing" with constructive ideas from all the sisters in attendance if they became bogged down. Our sisters like to do this providing we demonstrate first. 2) PANEL DISCUSSIONS using young women to assist in sharing their perspective on whatever we are highlighting. This gives the sisters a chance to ask questions from those whose lives they are really trying to influence for good. Just a thought - but I'm sorry I don't have any scripts. - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

We were all extremely tired when it was over. We did not read the entire BOM instead we did more of an "Exploring the Book of Mormon" night instead. Eash class or leader was in charge of a different block of scripture and they could present it in any way they chose. Some groups made videos, mine showed a clips from a BOM video and summerized the chapters. This was a great way to do it because we didn't have to listen to the same person all night, nor were we reading non stop all night, but I think everyone had a great time and learned a lot. We of course had breaks for dinner and dessert and games.

You could start at the church, then go to a member's home for a treat and more reading then maybe to a park for a game and then back to someone else's home for more reading.

There is a series of six questionaires ( one for each year they are in yw's) that the girls answer. The type of questions on each questionaire grows in depth with each year. They complete the questionare the Sunday before their birthday and choose someone from their class to read the questions and the answer that has been given. The yw being honored (or spotlighted) and the friend reading the answers stand in front of the room during opening exercies. They also receive a small figurine of a woman which is different each year. When they leave yw, they have 6 questionares and 6 figurines. Hopefully this is not to confusing.

A grandmother was surprised by her 7 year old grandson one morning. He had made her coffee! She drank what was the worst cup of coffee in her life. When she got to the bottom, there were three of those little green army men in her cup. Puzzled, she asked, "Honey, what are the army men doing in my coffee?" Her grandson answered "Grandma , it says on TV, 'The best part of waking up is soldiers in your cup.'" Have a great day! _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

The 800 # is 1-800-227-7282 or you can visit their web site at www.cookbookpublishers.com. They will send you a kit to get started including forms to put the recipes on. I went to Kinkos and copied some more and asked sisters in the ward to submit the recipes. If they are put on the form, you don't have to redo them, even if they are hand written. A couple of people put theirs on note book paper, and I retyped them onto the forms. They are a great company to work with and you don't have to pay anything until 90 days after they ship the cookbooks to you. Hope this helps.

One day a small opening appeared; he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther. The man decided to help the butterfly, so he took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time. Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly. What the man in his kindness and haste did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were God's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon. Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If God allowed us to go through our life without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as we could have been. And we could never fly. "Count it all joy, brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its full effect, that you may be complete and perfect, lacking in nothing."

At the beginning of the lesson ask for those who have NOT read their scriptures or prayed or whatever that week. Now for those who HAVE NOT read Give THEM a Hershey's kiss. Then continue with your lesson. Dont say anything else. You will hear some murmuring. If they murmur say we will talk about it later. At the END of the Lesson. For those who READ give them a HUGE candy bar. Tie it into life today ... sometimes it seems as though the wicked are receiving rewards NOW. Ask was it worth the wait to get the bigger candy bar? Tie into worth the wait for celestial Kingdom The reward is bigger better and worth the wait. Does that make sense?

His live talks are great but when it came to the school one and also the mission one I found them a little boring and so did my children. The dating 911 tape is an excellent tape. Hope that helps.

Please fill me in. Thanks! Diana/Tn >> We considered this also. Our Bishop suggested it, but said it was our decision. I talked to my sister who did this at their nursery school. She said it was a nightmare. They had 170 recipes (we have over 300) and their finished cookbook has tons of mistakes & typos (& this was an adult editing, etc... actually a professional editor for a newspaper!... not young girls), and it cost them $6.oo to copy, etc. each book (the publishing company will be charging us about 3 to 3.50 per book). We decided we would be money & time ahead letting them do it & we wouldn't miss the headaches!

Remember that your personality reflects your personal style of thinking, communicating, and behaving; thus there is great value in knowing your personality and characteristics and the characteristics of others. REDS (Motive.- POWER) Reds are motivated by power, seek productivity, and need to look good to others. Simply stated, Reds want their own way. They like to be in the driver's seat and willingly pay the price to be in a leadership role. Reds like to work - in school, in their careers and in their relationships. What Reds value, they get done. They are often workaholics. They will, however, resist being forced to do anything that doesn't interest them. Reds need to appear knowledgeable. They crave approval from others for their intelligence and insight. They want to be respected even more than they want to be loved. They want to be admired for their logical, practical minds. When you deal with a Red, be precise and f actual. BLUES (Motive: INTIMACY) Blues are motivated by intimacy, seek opportunities to serve, and need to be appreciated. Blues are thoughtf UL of others, and freely accept opportunities to give up something in order to bring another person happiness. Selflessness, rather than selfishness, is their guiding philosophy. They hold doors open for people, of fer rides when someone's car breaks down, contribute to charity, even devote their entire lives to helping others. Blues are gratif ied when they are listened to and understood. With Blues, a simple pat on the back will not suf f ice. They value sincere gratitude. Blues want to be appreciated and loved. They delight in being remembered on birthdays and other special days. Healthy Blues have a strong moral code of integrity that guides them in their decision making, their value judgements, even their leisure time. WHITES (Motive.- PEACE) Whites are motivated by peace, seek independence, and need kindness. They will do almost anything to avoid confrontation. Feeling good is more important than being good. They have a strong, silent stubbornness that surfaces when they are being treated unkindly. They respect people who are kind, but recoil from those who are hostile. Whites enjoy their quiet independence and refuse to be controlled by others. Whites want to do things their own way, in their own time. They ask little of others, and resent others demanding much of them. Whites are of ten tougher than people think. On the other hand, Whites often comply with unreasonable demands, just to keep the peace. YELLOWS (Motive.- FUN) Yellows are motivated by fun, welcome praise, and enjoy center stage. They consider' life to be a party and they're hosting. They love playf ul interaction and live by the 'better of fer' theory. Yellows need to be noticed and adored. Subsequently, nothing improves a relationship with a Yellow like praise. Yellows of ten appear as though they haven't got a care in the world. Actually they are quite sensitive and highly alert to other's motives. Yellows carry within themselves the gif t of a good heart. Socially looking good is very important to Yellows and friendships command a high priority in their lives. Yellows are highly verbal. Easily bored, Yellows seek adventure. They'can never sit still for long. They choose friends who, like themselves, ref use to allow lif e's'boring details' to stif le their curiosity. They embrace each day in the 'present tense'. 31 If I applied for a job, a prospective employer would most likely hire me because I am: a. Driven, direct and delegating. b.

We're just starting it this week, and I also don't see our women pre-ordering :(. I'd be interested in your experiences thus far. We're planning on about 300 recipes and selling 200 books. We have 12-15 active girls, so we didn't want to get too much. But that would only be a profit of $500 or so. Suggestions for selling more? Ideas? I sure would love to not do car washes this spring .

I originally contacted the cookbook company with the intention of getting their idea and making it ourselves. I'm a mooch from way back. But when they sent me a sample, and the cost, I calculated that we couldn't make a comparable book any cheaper, and it would be a lot more painful. For about $3.00 per book, you get them to type all the recipers, sort them, copy them, page dividers (sections), little ingredient substitution pages and nutritional pages, cardstock cover and back (laminated) in full color, and spiral bound. Here, the spiral binding alone is $1 a copy at Kinko's. Our RS at another ward did one years ago that didn't turn out as well, for about that price per person. But it needs to look really good if you're going to turn around and sell it for $6 a copy, and the one from the company looks like it could make the price. So that's why we're going that way. I really believe the key is selling outside the ward. We probably have 75 active women, but not all would buy. And some would buy 2 or 3. So maybe 100 sold that way. Has anyone tried selling something like this outside Walmart or a place like that? I thought maybe we could make up some bread or cookies from a recipe in the book, and give away or sell small samples, with the cookbooks displayed for sale. How out of whack is it to expect each girl to sell 10? From neighborhood and friend sales? Where else have you sold things? What about going to a business or even to a police or fire station as a gift for their wives? I'm not much of a sales person--who has experience? Help!

I'd be interested in your experiences thus far. We're planning on about 300 recipes and selling 200 books. We have 12-15 active girls, so we didn't want to get too much. But that would only be a profit of $500 or so. Suggestions for selling more? Ideas? I sure would love to not do car washes this spring . >> Like I said we have 135 orders just from 41 women. I figure there are that many again who haven't ordered yet, but I know that many are ones that will want them... even if just one for themselves. The young women have been working on calling the women who submitted recipes but didn't give us an estimate of how many books they would like. Also, we are calling women who didn't contribute but that I'm sure will want one. In the past when we have sold things, when it comes time to deliver the item (like easter candy) it seems that MANY of the people are asking if we have any more & can they buy more. As it gets closer to the holiday people start thinking of all kinds of people they could give to. I think that may happen with the cookbooks at Christmas time also. I am figuring we are making 5.00 per book. The book will cost 3.oo to make & then we are charging 8.00 for a nice recipe book of over 300 recipes. Is that out of line? Everyone seems to think that is a reasonable price. I just paid 10.00 for a school cookbook with only half that many recipes. Also, as long as we know we have enough "sure thing" sales to cover the costs of all the books, plus send all our girls to camp, I don't mind having leftover books. We will just put them in our young women closet to sell to new move-ins, etc. over the next year. To increase sales & interest we requested recipes from past ward members or their addresses or phone numbers to contact them & include their recipes. A great way to remember them & I figured they would want to remember us too by buying a cookbook! Also, we are having a tasting party at an all-day Saturday Homemaking in October. It's a full day holiday & craft day & there is a great turn-out for that. So we will be calling up the sisters & asking them to bring a dish of a recipe they submitted. I have kept a copy of which recipes we got & from whom & we will ask them to bring a specific item so we have a nice variety. We will make up a little card to sit in front of each dish that says the name of the dish & who submitted the recipe. I wish the books would be back by then to have them at the tasting party & have a couple girls sitting there selling them... but I think we will have a couple girls taking orders for the books on that day. Our ward is VERY enthusiastic about the cookbook. The ward has never had a cookbook & so many people have said how excited they are about it. Hope it shows in our sales!!! It is just a busy time to try to get a hold of people. I know many who have not reserved copies have either been busy & haven't thought about it... or didn't realize they could or should. Don't know if that helps you any.... - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

For our comibined lesson (Fast Sunday) we invited a member of the bishopric to present the theme. It went VERY WELL!! I was amazed at how quiet and respectful the young women were. They actually listened and learned something! I think it is a great idea and I will definately do it again. I think it helps the young women grow closer to the bishopric, as well as give them a chance to fell of their spirits individually. Another thing we have started, is having a member of the bishopric be in our opening exercies each week. This really helps with the reverence problems. (This was the bishops idea!)

While I'm really not sure yet what the purpose of such a thing is, since the Beehives and Deacons are too young to "socialize" in my opinion, I am thinking that we could still do something that wouldn't put them together so much, but which they could both attend.

Over the summer we have had about half of our active YW move out of the ward and we are left with only 7 active YW. (We have a very small YW's because we only have about 4 inactives.) Anyways we leaders have had the idea all summer to have a leadership sleepover once all the presidencies had been called. Now that has been accomplished. We have a very diverse group of girls--they are all nice to one another but there aren't any strong friendships among the girls--not much in common with one another. So we have decided to do a sleepover with the emphasis being on building unity and sisterhood with some leadership lessons sprinkled in. My problem is we decided to do this as a surprise next Tuesday. I thought if I told you a few things we want to do, maybe it would spark some ideas that you could share that would fit in. First off, we will meet at the church and do some activities where the girls have to work together in order to solve a problem. I thought maybe the Bishop might even say a few words about unity and working together. Then I thought after we get to my house for the sleepover part, which will be a surprise to the girls, we would maybe play some games where we get to know each other better--maybe using the M& M game or toilet paper game. I also wanted to maybe talk about negative feelings and words using the idea posted awhile ago with the ball of yarn making a web by saying nice things to each other and then go in a cut the strings when negativity enters into the group. We would brainstorm ideas for upcoming activities and start planning for next year as well as remind the girls of their duties as class presidencies. I also like the idea of decorating pillowcases and letting the girls sign each other's pillowcases. (Will any fabric paint work or does someone have a recommendation?) That is about all I have come up with today since our presidency meeting. We all left the meeting to brainstorm and iron out details over the phone. Any other thoughts or words of wisdom? Or things you have done to promote unity and sisterhood? Sometimes I feel like you guys are my functioning presidency and my counselors are there to carry out your wonderful ideas. My counselors are pretty quiet in the idea department, but are great in carrying out the plans. They are getting better though. Thanks in advance and sorry this is so long.

I apologize for taking so long to send this. I am not the best when it comes to writing things down. I have given many talks in church and I never write them ahead of time. So I hope this is OK. First of all I need to let you know if you just take this talk and read it to your youth it will never work. Read this talk over and put in some of what you have seen. You must work the crowd, when you give this talk. Young people do not want to be lectured. What I would do is always (for lack of a better word) pick on someone. I would say for example Joseph what would you do or how can you handle this girl that is dressed in a very short skirt. I know there are some of you out there who will be highly offended by what I say and how I said it. But in 5 years, none of the active girls in our ward became pregnant. There is another ward in our area, where the YM's president asked me to come speak about sex. The Bishop said no, that is a matter to be dealt with at home. The last count was 16 girls pregnant. I hope you can use this information, Again I wish I had the opportunity to present this to you in person. I would love to have the opportunity. I always told the young people exactly what I thought, I never pulled any punches. Good Luck Ex-Bishop Daddy =20 MORALITY TALK I start the water slide talk by writing on one side of the blackboard the words, =93Date=94 and on the other side =93immorality.=94 Between the two words I draw three wavy lines going from top to bottom. On the other side of the board I draw two views of a water slide. One view is looking directly down at the top of the water slide platform, the other is a side view of the water slide. On the top view of the water slide I draw little buildings, such as Ice Cream, Video Games, Donuts Shop, Cookies & Candy Video's &CD's. Between the building I draw the entrance to a water slide, with it almost covered. So, if someone would run from one store to the next, and if they were not careful they would fall down the slide. Video games =09 ______________I_______________ Donuts Slide Cookies Candy _____________________________ =09 I read in the paper the other day they are going to build a new water slide water park in Redding (or any town that is near where you live that would have a park or even your town) This park will be like no other park you have seen. It is on top of a platform and you will have to climb a hill to get there. There will be all kinds of entertainment on the water slide. You can do just about anything you want at this park. But you must be careful. It has built in traps. If you are not careful, when you are running from the cookie store to the donut shop you might fall down the slide. When you fall in the slide, if you try real hard the first few feet, you will be able to stop. If you wait a few seconds and then try to stop it will be almost impossible. You will be out of control. As you continue down the water slide, you realize you are no longer in control, you are caught up in the ride. When you get to the bottom of the water slide, instead of being filled with water, you see there is nothing but jagged rocks. In about two seconds you will hit them and there is nothing you can do to stop. That is exactly how it feels after you have been immoral. Just horrible. Most young people say I will never do that, I can handle it. Lets see if you can. . Most of you will never be arrested for grand theft auto, murder, bank robbery or any of the big things. Why is it, I don't think you will be arrested for any of those crimes? The reason I do not think you will be arrested is because you do not go around thinking about it nor do you have the necessary equipment to do so. Things such as dynamite, plastic explosives, guns, or tools to hot-wire a car. If you are going to make a mistake, it will be in the moral area. Our Father in Heaven has given you all the necessary equipment and desires to create life. Now then let's talk about, the proper things to do on a date. #1: NEVER DATE until you are 16 and then only date in groups. Surveys have been conducted and the results were the younger you start dating the quicker you become immoral. It was interesting, if you wait until you are 16 the chances of being immoral were practically zero. Lets say you are 16 and you want to start dating. You have found this real good looking girl and you want to take her out. So, you believe you are just a little smarter than the rest of us and you can handle it. Young people DO Not fall into this trap. I have watched many young people steady date ate the age of 16 and their attitude always was-- I am smarter then any one else and I can handle it. Young people you can't. I was talking to a young girl one day and I will never forget what she said to me.. She said, =93I wish five minutes before I committed adultery, I knew, how it would feel, five minutes after I did it. When you date, never steady date until after your mission, for the young men. When people start to date, I have noticed a pattern. Boy Girl Six months To =09 Nine months =09 X (Draw this on the board and draw a line from boy to the X, and than a line from girl to X.) When young people start to date, they talk a lot and have a lot of fun. They enjoy being together, and the dates are planned out. For the first six to nine months the relationship is progressing and growing. There is a purpose to the relationship. After this time the relationship becomes stale. There is nothing new to do. There is nothing new to talk about. You have kissed and held hands and done all you can legally do. There is nothing left to do, except to get into trouble. The fun dates are gone, instead of planning dates, you just get together and hang out with each other. Another valuable rule is do not just hang out with each other. Make the dates special. If you spend too much time with one person again, things become to familiar, too comfortable. When this happens you start to act like married people and your defenses are weakened. I have found when the talking stops, the kissing starts. Fights start and the relationship is a stale and miserable one. #2.A lot of young people ask:"What can we do on a date, like kissing?" My answer to the boys is You can give her a short good night kiss, IF she lets you. Not a vacuum cleaner kind. You can put your arm around her, only if she lets you. And that is it. Nothing more. If you follow this advice I know you will be able to be married in the covenant. I have seen some young people laying on the floor together, or laying, sitting on a couch together. To me this is wrong, again you are becoming to familiar and comfortable with each other. I believe it is John Bytheway that tells this story. He was at home with his date on a Saturday afternoon. His mom, dad, and sister were in the same room with him and his date. John and his date were laying on the floor, about six inches apart, looking at a magazine. His mom called him into the kitchen and told, him she was not happy they were on the floor together. John says he was a little upset, because they were not doing anything. It was broad daylight and people were in the room. His mom said she would feel better if he would please sit on the couch. John went back in and sat on the couch and so his date got up and sat there also. In a little while John and his date left to go miniature golf. When he came home that night he was still mad at his mom for not trusting him. A week later John and this same girl were going to go to the show. John picked her up and realized he had left his wallet at home. He drove back = to his house and ran inside. After getting his wallet from this bedroom, he came back into the living room and his date had turned on the TV. The roo= m was dark and the mood music was playing. He laid down next to his date on the floor, and he saw his mom walk in. He jumped up and realized it was only in his mind. She was not really there. Then it dawned on him, Mom wasn=92t worried about last week she was trying to teach him correct principles for this week. He immediately turned off the TV, grabbed his date and out the door they went. =20 You say you can handle Satan. Let=92s look at the facts. How many years= has Satan had to practice against you? We know one day in the Lord=92s time = is 1000 yrs to us. So, How many years old is Satan? We know the Bible say= s we have been here for about 6,000 Yrs. About 4,000 before Christ and 2,0= 00 since. Now, it took 7 days to create the earth, each day 1,000 yrs. So this makes a minimum of 13,000 yrs. You are 16 yrs old. Now, do you thi= nk you are smart enough to go up alone against someone who is that experienced. Alone you will not survive, if you follow the council of the church, you will. =20 #3. Never be alone with someone of the opposite sex. Never! Always group date. Missionaries go out 2 by 2. Why do you think that is so? For protection.=20 We have been instructed, by the Brethren, never to have a brother and sister alone together. Whether driving or working together. Bishop Broderick tells the following story: Bishop Broderick was the Branch Pres. in a small branch in Alabama. They had a Stake conference. He was instructed to be at a meeting on Saturday and to bring the Relief Society President with him. But they were not to drive alone, they needed someon= e to ride with them. Bishop Broderick could not understand these instructions, He knew nothing would happen because she was twice his age and he was happily married.=20 This was not a rich Branch, but his counselor took time off, and lost money, to ride with them. This concerned Bishop Broderick. During the conference Pres. Kimball asked if there were any questions from the group= .=20 He raised his hand and said. =93You trust us as leaders with the keys of = the kingdom, to judge people but at the same time you do not rust us to ride 100 miles in broad daylight with someone of the opposite sex?=94 Pres. Kimball replied. =93Pres. Broderick is it your considered opinion, we hav= e nothing to do all day long but sit around and make up silly rules for you to follow?=94 Bishop Broderick said: =93Why, uh Yes=94 Pres Kimball sai= d: =93Pres Broderick, we only came up with those rules after losing many good Bishop= s and Relief Society sisters.=94 =20 If this can happen to the Bishops and Relief Society Presidents, it can happen to you. I have heard of young people taking trips alone, togethe= r. This is not right. You are only asking for trouble. Never stay overnight with any one of the opposite sex. There is no one that can walk through the mud and not get muddy. It cannot be done. Emotions are a strong force to reckon with. =20 #3. Along these same lines, never go into the bedroom of any one of the opposite sex. Going into their bedroom, helps to drop your guard. Things becomes to familiar and comfortable. I have known of students who just went into a bedroom to study and wound up being immoral because it was convenient. Just think, would you give a loaded pistol to a child to play with? It is the same. This is reserved for married people. The devil wor= ks on one little thing at a time. This may not sound like a biggie, but if y= ou stay out of their bedroom it will make a great difference with your relationship with that person. =20 I have watched how the devil operates, he is cunning and crafty. He wil= l use every good thing he can to destroy you. =20 #4. Appropriate clothing. I wish you young women knew the effect your clothing has on the young men. Why does the prophet say no short dresses= ? Why does he say do not wear low cut dresses? Why no bikini=92s or two pie= ce swimming suits. When you wear dresses that are too short or low cut dresses, the young men start thinking thoughts they shouldn=92t. The onl= y way to describe this, would be. Men react to these situations like microwave ovens. Quick. Where the young women act more like crock pots.=20 Slow. Remember the young men are visually stimulated, young women are no= t. If you do not believe this, what about Playboy Magazine? It will alway= s outsell any of the magazines printed for girls to look at. In fact just look at any magazine counter and what do you see?. I was teaching this to a group of Laurels one day and they did not believe me. So I took the entire class into the Priest=92s quorum.

Please send in a list of your stake activities that you do each year. I am interested in seeing what kinds of things other stakes are doing on a regular basis. Our stake has pretty much done the same thing every year for the last 7 years, we are pretty predictable. Leadership Conference Winter Carnival Sports Day Standards Night Youth Conference YW Camp / Scout Camp Always another YW activity (WW celebration, Recognition Night, etc.) Three Tri-Stake Dances (each stake in our state hosts one) Two or three regular dances We occasionally invite another stake to one of the above activities. We have been invited for the last couple of years to attend a neighboring stake's Priest/Laurel Activity, always a lot of fun and great for the older kids to get together. So anybody have any suggestions?.....................

Our stake did the Wilderness Youth Conference 6 years ago at the Joseph Smith Memorial, and 2 years ago we did the "Hold Fast" Youth Conference. These are no longer programs offered by BYU/CES - now they just offer an outline, help with a program, and speakers to enhance your conference. Have any of you done the Pioneer Trek program, or a similar activity? Any successes or disappointments you could share? This activity includes pulling handcarts in families, doing pioneer activities, etc. The trek lasts for 4 days, and includes walking long distances and camping overnight. Some things include the solo hike, only an orange for one meal (food deprivation), the women's pull, killing a live chicken, taffy pulling, I even heard of building cardboard temples and the stake leaders coming in as marauders and destroying them. I personally have a problem with "contrived" situations where the youth are deprived comforts they are accustomed to, or sleep deprivation etc., and then they are given an intense "spiritual experience". I am not sure that the youth need to pull a handcart or kill a chicken to feel the spirit or learn to deal with issues they face today. As you can tell, I have reservations about this youth conference plan. Any ideas you could all share pro or con? Thanks so much for your help!

She lives in the Salt Lake Valley and is delighted to do her presentation (does not charge) to YW groups on either a ward or stake level. I asked for her permission to post her name on this list. If you want her phone number, e-mail me and I will get her phone number to you. She decorates the room with Cabbage Patch dolls in bassinets, high chairs, children's strollers, etc. Has pictures of the temple and YW-related posters on the wall. She plays a game with dressing a baby doll and drinking from a baby bottle as the girls have to relate the standards of personal worthiness. Sister Wall then read a story about mother's hands, etc. She concludes by spotlighting a picture of a small child, while a recording is played of a small child addressing a letter to her mother. This amazing woman (and this is the part you keep a secret from the YW) brings a pair of crocheted baby booties for each YW and issues a challenge to them to earn the privilege of keeping the booties for their first child. If they fail to meet the challenge, she asks the girls to return the booties to her so another girl who has lived clean and pure can have the privilege of using them for her child. She encourages the girls to keep the booties packaged in a prominent sight by a temple picture to remind them of their goals. She gave me permission to share this on this list. She asked me to let you know she also does a presentation on temple marriage, and she has put together a presentation for each of the values. Sister Wall has always been a stay-at-home mom and truly cherishes her calling as a mother. She devoted a few minutes of tribute to the YW mothers and reminds the YW of the choice opportunity they have to be close to their mothers. This was a wonderful evening.

This one is done on Church property in WY. near Evanston. I loved it. The kids had a great time too. I was never hungry the whole time. I am sure the teenage boys were at some points. There is a lot of walking. we never stayed up really late either. The first night we stayed up maybe to 11:00 p.m. is all. I understand the 5 day Trek is the best (only hiking 1 1/2 days camping the rest). If you chose a 3 day Trek there is still 1 1/2 days of walking but not enough time to socialize and get to know your "family". I had heard many horror stories before I went. I was a "kid" in a family not a support person. I think the "olden days" Treks were much more strict - less water (we had as much as we wanted), longer hikes, killing a turkey (we didn't), and other stuff. We did pull taffy, make candles, had a few games. The testimony meeting on Sunday was one of the most spiritual ones I have ever been to. I really saw how strong the youth are in the gospel. I would really encourage you to do one - especially if it is the one in WY. on Deseret Land and Livestock (church owned). The church was given this land to use as it wanted to. The President of the Church then (can't remember which one it was) asked a group to figure out how this land could best be used to help the youth of the Church and how to make it self-sustainable. (I guess this man had been losing money every year as a rancher and he could never get it in the black). The group decided to do Treks for youth groups and to have drawings to hunt on the land (Elk and Deer) and they charge 350 dollars a day per person to come and fish on the land. (I wouldn't have believed it either but I heard it straight from the caretakers mouth. People do pay it. We saw some of the fish in the ponds and streams - they were HUGE!!!) She said they now operate in the black. If you do go, e-mail me personally and I will tell you what I would have done differently to get ready for the Trek. As for worrying about your youth, I wasn't. Our kids are very spoiled (like most) and I didn't think they really were bothered too much with he whole thing. I do think it is good for them to see how blessed they are - eating oatmeal every morning, etc. - and how much their family means to them. Pray about it and see what answer you get.

I wish our stake could have gotten organized enough to do something like that!! My friend's then 14 yr. old son took part in it and had a great experience. That was a total surprise to me because he rarely shows any kind of emotion and everything seems to only be "okay" with him but when relating his experience to me he was very enthusiastic and animated. I believe they did it over 3 days... they didn't kill any chickens ... but they did have the girls pull the handcarts for some miles! They were organized into families with adults being the mothers and fathers ... they cooked out and one night it rained on them ... I wish I had concrete information to give you! Maybe someone on this list is in the Morristown, NJ stake has more to offer?!

We do it on a stake level too ... we jokingly refer to it as our "slush fund"! We had one branch of 8 YW raise $1400 from one activity this year and only needed half for camp so they're already half-way there for next year. I made sure to let every YW presidency know to have their ward financial clerk talk to the stake financial clerk to find out how funds can be saved for next year. - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

We had 40 people in this area and it worked out fine. We could have had 20-25 more without any problem. The nice thing I thought was that for the 3 nights, 4 days it cost 150$.

Every other month we also have a member of the bishopric teach a combined lesson to all the YW and usually we ask them to teach the kick-off lesson if it falls on the same sunday. This adds variety to who the girls are always hearing from and the bishopric is also well versed in the young women theme as a result. One other thing my bishop insists on is setting apart new class presidencies in YW opening exercises. All the girls feel the spirit of the blessing given and through the words of the blessing come to and understanding of the role class presidencies play and how important they are.

I would present the waterslide every few months, the youth in our ward can now give it to me.

I am white and my wife is yellow. Taylor says they are the two that marry's the least. My father in-law is red. He is a healthy red and he comments sometimes that we need a red person in our household so some thing can and will get done. You need to get the book or the tapes. Once you understand the color code you can do great things. I know how to act red and on some occasions I will act red to get what I want from a store. Because like he says things are saved just for red people. Taylor also says, there are not as many white people as the rest. Maybe 18 to 20 percent white and the rest are about even. When I found this out I said Taylor let me tell you a story. First of all I am the Bishop and I am white. One of my counselors is white, The entire RS Pres, EQP, HPGL, Exec. Secty, Primary are all white. His response back to me was: "How do youi ever get anything done in your ward" What is funny is red people never see negative traits as negative. I am grateful to Taylor for the color code. I really try hard each day to be a better person. I know we are always told to strive for perfection. But unless something like the color code comes along, we do not know where to start.

It broke down any and all Barriers. If you handle the presentation properly, all the youth will participate. If someone has a question , stop and answer it and use this as a teaching moment. BE HONEST, tell them like it is. The youth will love you for it. Each age group I would teach differently. There are a couple stories I would only tell the priests and Laurels. Believe me it got their attention and they listened. Can't tell that story here, I would certainly get roasted. This will make the difference.

We had to get it done by this month in order to get the cookbooks back in time for Christmas. We really felt like we needed the Christmas season to boost sales. We haven't collected any money yet... we will when we deliver cookbooks. So we will be making the money in mid-December. I don't think that is a problem... the Bishop & ward & financial clerks know what we are doing and haven't said it is a problem. If it was we could just wait two weeks until January to submit all the money. Usually, from what I've been told, the money just "rolls over" into the next year. As long as it is earmarked girls camp money we are ok. In fact, I'm hoping we will make MORE money than it costs to send girls to camp & we will just roll it over into the following year to go toward the next year's camp.

The YW held an all day carnival that consisted of games for kids (small prizes to win), sold food (which was bought with a gift certificate from a local market), had a garage sale with articles donated by ward members, and an auction. At the same time that they were holding their carnival another ward YW group had a car wash at the same building - so that attacted lots of people. The girls were so proud of themselves for raising that large amount of money ... I think it helped them gain some self-confidence and the knowledge that if they work together they can accomplish many great things! - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

We still ended up doing things such as girls camp, and the boys camping activities. This year the ward council decided not to skip July, so we've had an activity (of some sort) each week. It is hard, especially with vacations and all, but I feel that consistancy is important.

And we have alot of stake activities in the summer like girls camp, YW high adventure, youth conference, temple trips, etc. We've tried to schedule activities in the past in the summer with very little attendance. Some families take month-long vacations (myself included). The scouting program stops for the summer (at least in our ward) and so we do too. We have an occasional activity, but our regular Wednesday night meetings don't happen until school starts again. I'm sure this wouldn't be the case with every ward, but with our ward it works and no one seems to mind.

Some families rarely take vacations (at least in my area) and I don't think it's good for the kids to be idle all week during the summer except for Sundays.

Some families rarely take vacations (at least in my area) and I don't think it's good for the kids to be idle all week during the summer except for Sundays. Regardless of how many attend, those that do show up deserve to be able to participate in an activity. >> I agree. When I was the ward YW Pres (I'm now Stake Pres) we were struggling with this problem too. Part of our solution was to have a combined activity once a month with the four wards meeting in our building. Each ward took a turn during May, June, July or August and planned an activity, hosting the other three wards. That way, we had a great turn out of YW and each ward only had to host one time. The other three weeks in the month were left to each ward to plan as usual. It was really fun and we had some great activities.

We are having a "back to school" slumber party at my house. (YW Pres) We had a "school's out slumber party" and it went over so well, they asked for another... We taught a skill... I'm a woodcrafter, so I planned to make 4th of July bird houses out of fence post... The girls got them quite raw and had to sand them, prepare etc... They strayed from the traditional "follow the directions" and were quite creative and all were pleased with "their art piece for the family". We had a skit by the BeeHives (remember the Tator skit?) YW activity in her ward...dic"tator", agi "tator", we added mocking"tator", etc etc til the all time favorite partici"tator"... It was a good way to actually TEACH while having fun! The BeeHives were in charge of dinner and had a "POTATO BAR" to go with their skit. MiaMaids did activities (which meant..."Sis. Nix, do you have any games???" Luckily I am a major board game queen, so we got out "Song Burst 50's thru the 80's" and sang our hearts out in 2 teams. Twister was the first activity of the night and was a definite "ice-breaker"! The YW Adult Leaders brought "snacks" and I was in charge of the "candy bar". I set it up like at a movie counter.. And it was "all you want" style. It is no surprize that I have been given that duty again! The Laurels prepared a huge breakfast in the morning and everyone departed by 10am. It was wonderful. We did decide we needed a curfew (I wouldn't go to bed til the last girl was down and out...which was 5am!!! 5 of us were still up and I was getting a bit grouchy and slaphappy!) So curfew is at midnight.. we then all have to take our sleeping bags to the TV for some preapproved movies with lights out. Back to your original question.... In Denver our Stake President wouldn't allow a month "off". In fact, we couldn't skip homemaking to go on a temple trip... Each area is different. In my case, we gladly took the month off to regroup and get ready for school!

We also have combined activities with the YM in our ward a lot more during the summer. They all seem more excited to attend if it's combined =) Also, our activity tonight is one that the girls have planned themselves and everyone is really excited. They've worked really hard to get everything planned and put together, and have put forth extra effort to make sure we have a good turnout.

I tend to think that continuing to hold activities - even with a handful of youth - is important ... especially during the summer months! The months off from school are when kids tend to get bored with so much free time and can easily be distracted with things that take them away from gospel concentrated activities. I guess I am speaking in respect to the areas that our stake covers - alot of inner-city wards and branches. It's so totally different for those of you that live out in Utah or throughout the Midwest. People who live in our large metropolitan area usually do not take a month off for vacations - simply because they don't have that kind of time off from work and mostly because financial circumstances don't allow for that. So holding weekly mutual activities gives the youth a place to go that offers good things. Our stake YM president suggested we cancel stake super Saturdays during the summer because of low numbers and was shot down in a split second ... the stake YW counselor at the meeting simply stated that you don't take a vacation from the gospel out of convenience (don't mean to offend anyone out there!) ... I was glad that she spoke up! Marcia in NJ - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

The cookbooks are selling for $8.00. There are approximately 300 recipes (the recipes are still coming in...) We are placing the order now for the books. It will take 80-90 days for the company to get them back to us. We are guaranteed to have them in time for Christmas (so think Christmas presents everyone!). I don't know how much it would cost to mail them to you... I'm thinking that it shouldn't be too much, especially if I can get a book rate. They could easily fit in a padded mailing envelope. The post office is closed now, but I will check tomorrow on pricing. If it isn't too much, MAYBE we could just include the shipping in the price of the book. That way we wouldn't have to refigure each book price with shipping for each person depending on where they live... a flat fee would cover all. That would definitely simplify things! Let me check with the post office & check with our "Cookbook Committee" to say for sure! Once I let you know, I would want to know soon if you are still interested so I make sure and order enough. We are trying to get the order in any day now to be sure & get them back in time. Once the shipping cost is figured out & if you still want to get one/some you could send a check for how ever many books you want... then I would have your address from that to mail the book(s) back. I would not cash the check until the books arrived & I was ready to mail them to you. I'll get back to you tomorrow about the mailing situation. Anyone else interested... let me know!

One day after Junior grabbed the nickel, the store manager got him off to one side and said, "Junior, those boys are making fun of you. They think you don't know the dime is worth more than the nickel. Are you grabbing the nickel because it's bigger, or what?" Junior smiled. "Well, if I took the dime, they'd quit doing it."

I didn't want to stand up there and talk about it because they-ve heard it all before. Instead we did a random act of kindness. Before hand I very briefly explained that when we do an act of selfless service or kindness, the impact can be great. I had brought my craft box,a bunch of glue guns and little cards saying "You've been touched by a random act of kindness - Pass it on!" I had the girls take ten or fifteen minutes to decorate the cards with the stuff from the craft box. Some of them signed them and even wrote a little about the importance of the commandment "Love one another". We then had a special prayer that some one may be touched by our efforts and that through our act of kindness we can halp make the area a better place. We took the girls outside and encouraged them to place the cards out in the neighborhood on non-members homes, cars, etc. Most did however some just placed them on the members cars in the parking lot. When they all returned we talked about how they felt about they actions. Some of the girls shared experiences where they were able to talk to the peoplethey gave the cards to. During that week we received some thank you cards at the church from some of the people in the neighborhood. The girls were amazed at the impact of that small act of kindness. The point was really driven home to them and it was done in a way words from my mouth could not have accomplished. The Spirit really worked in them during that lesson and it was fun too!!

Twice a year we have a dance with 3 of the other stakes in NJ and twice a year we are joined by the fifth stake and so it turns out to be a "state-wide" dance ... the youth all look forward to these dances! In May we join in on a 4-stake Youth Conference. We take a break in July because of girls/scout camp and encourage the youth & their families to attend the stake Pioneer Day picnic. And the remaining 6 months we hold some kind of activity that includes the 12 & 13 year olds - since they can not attend any of the dances yet. The stake youth committee decide on the monthly activities and then meet once a month to plan. Some of the Super Saturday activities that we have had are: Game Night - we set up board games in one room and then have different activities (in at least two other rooms) - relays, team games, contests, etc. and the kids rotate from room to room. MTC Activitiy - the one Charee posted to the list several months ago - this was a HUGE success! Play-in-a-Day - we divided the youth up into about 5 groups and let them pick a subject out of one bag and the "style" out of another, then they went off into a room with an adult leader and had 30 min. to come up with a skit. Subjects were things like, Moses parting the Red Sea, Cleopatra, Pocahontas ... and the "styles" were, Opera, Rap, Rhymn and others that I can't remember. Service Projects - Cleaned up pond at a county park, packed food at the state food bank ( we've done this twice now), made Christmas stockings and goody bags for children's home (this is yearly activity). Wacky Olympics - We made up categories and activities ... balloon volley ball, one-handed basketball, haystack hurdles, paperplate discus, paper airplane javalin ... we made gold, silver, and bronze medals to give out. Sports Night - we rented out a health club one night and the kids were able to play racketball, volleyball, basketball, and we had a dance going on at the same time. Game of Life - doing this on a stake level was a major task and a little chaotic!! Some of the activities are held at night and others during the day - we do try to keep them to a total of 2 hours. We always have simple refreshments such as chips, brownies, cake, and punch or soda. For the big activities such as the service projects, wacky olympics or those that we schedule to end around 11-11:30 am we have lunch for them. What is popular among our youth are the 6 Ft. hero sandwiches that we order from a local deli. We rotate the responsibilities among the wards - hosting/conducting, refreshments, and clean-up. We do have a pretty generous stake budget for these Super Saturdays and the activities that we have had have been extremely low budget which now allows us to have some good things for the 5-stake dance we're hosting in September (we expect about 400 - 500 youth and maybe 100 adults). Our attendance had been kind of low this year - we averaged 80 youth last year and had been getting 35 this year ... but at our last SS (the MTC activity) we had 93 youth show up! We're hoping for at least 80 for our temple site project next week! Hope this helps you!

My husband thinks Americans cook too blandly (is that a word?), and isn't fond of the standard fare. The recipe names you listed sounded good to me, but do you think there's stuff in there that would satisfy a "food snob." (He gets called that by my family, and I think he actually likes it!) P.S. He may be a food snob, but at least he doesn't expect me to cook all the time for him! I can sit back on the telephone and he'll be content to be in the kitchen!

I feel a real concern that we let them grow up to fast, then no new seems to be there so the desire for attendance lessens.

I just wrote you this great email listing more recipes that might interest you or your husband and my one year old walked in & disconnected me!!! I lost it ALL! I'll start again & try to remember what I had written... Actually we have some of our own "food snobs" in our ward! Ü We also have some people from different countries & good cooks just the same. One woman from Thailand has been teaching the R.S. sisters her specialties... she submitted three main dish recipes. Another woman from south america is bringing her recipes tomorrow, and a chinese woman (who owns her own FABULOUS restaurant) is bringing a recipe or two today (I hope). Also, some swedish recipes...There are a bunch of recipes with curry in them, also a cilantro chicken which I am told by the cook that it is "five star"! An austrian goulash soup from one of the food "snobs" Ü that has some different looking things in it. Two seafood stews... one from me that is very tasty but also has a little bit of a "bite" to it ... how much bite depends on your heavy-handedness with the hot sauce... the other seafood stew with fennel, etc. The coconut shrimp appetizer has, along with the lime, pineapple & coconut juices some garlic and cayenne. a blue cheese potato salad, two guacamoles... one that is spicy, another from the bishop who served his mission with the navajo indians & says that's how they make it, some fajita recipes (lime, chili powder, garlic, etc), chalupas, a chicken salad with candied ginger as optional ingredient along with macadamia nuts, and another chicken salad with mango chutney, greek stuffed pitas, the spaghetti squash italiano and a spaghetti sauce with italian sausage so that should be flavorful. The black bean & rice salad that serves 40 has some lime juice, soy, rice vinegar & cayenne & I heard was wonderful....pan de elote (mexican cornbread).... to name a few....probably others, but that is what I can come up with without digging through them all... Haven't had the tasting party yet, so I can't say for sure, but I sure have heard lots of raving going on about these recipes in this book! They look like they have some flavor to them! I'm anxious myself to get my hands on it!!! hope that answers your question.

Last night I got a official count of all the YW in our Ward and it's 66! I nearly fainted! I have no counselor's or help and it's kind of a overwhelming feeling! Here' s some things I've decided to do to help me overcome that overwhelming feeling. First, I'm going to write a post card or letter to those I have address for and send them a welcome and list the activities we will have for the next month. Then I plan on speaking to the bishop or someone who knows who these YW are and finding about 3 or 4 we can actively work on. For those very few that just come once in awhile that I know we will make cookies and do a personal visit. I'm trying not to be to overwhelmed with all of this! Any other idea's would be greatly appriicated. I also wonder how many 18 year old girls you have in YW? It's my understanding that it's there choice after they turn 18 to stay or go to Relief Society? We have several 18 year old girls still in high school. Thanks in advance.

How about a carpet sample with stenciled 'pray' for a prayer rug, or a rock with 'dyttp' (did you think to pray) or on some other item, they can only succeed with help from the Lord. Candle to remind them to share the light of Christ. Something to help them to understand (like a spy glass to search out what is their specific calling) that this calling was of the Lord, and they have a mission to fufill specific to them and the girls. A clock face with 26 hours on it, to show the Lord will help them find the time if they are sincere. tissue to wipe the tears at times of motherly pride in the girls or in times of trials. 100,000 dollar candy bar, to help stretch the budget with spiritual not entertainment. Hats to represent the different 'hats' they will need to meet the needs of the girls. A Spoon to represent the need of 'Feeding His Sheep". Something to do with PP book. they must have a testimony of the program, and of PP or they cannot succeed. Quick thoughts, hope it helps to get the mind turning.

Jones) Subject: Re: (lds-yw) Report on Girls Camp 1998 Date: 13 Aug 1998 14:20:07 -0500 What an awesome experience I had this past week at Girls Camp! As the Stake Camp Director, I was a bit nervous to embark on this "journey", but to coin this years EFY theme, there was great "Joy in the Journey!" For those of you who keep files, heres a summary of Operation Camp '98-- First of all, my asst. CD adn I decided that camp in a Boy Scout camp would be a thing of the past and so we researched available camp grounds and found that the State Parks in MN have great group campgrounds, plus they are very affordable--about $4 per girl per night! Aslo, just so you know, we are working with about 100 girls and 25 adults. I made arrangements to have medical scrubs donated. This was so cool. Each girl received a minimum of 1 pair. Girls who showed up to the Stake Pre Camp Clinic got another pair. Wards who got their monies turned first, got dibs on the leftovers. All of the scrubs were blue. I made name tags (like hospital ID's with each girls picture and her level (1st years were Med Students, 2nd levels were Interns, 3rd levels were , 4th levels were M.D.'s, the YCL were psychologists, the Ward Leaders were psychyatrists, and the Stake leaders were the Board of Directors) Each level was printed on a differnent value color, laminated and hole punched at the top. The girls had to wear these at all times and they were used for buddy checks at swim times. Boy, were my thoughts on "uniforms" reinforced. What unity they created. We told the girls they only needed to wear the scrubs at two times during the week-- one for the group phot and the other during testimony meeting. However, about 98 percent of the girls wore them all week. Many chose to hand wash them and let them dry during the night. WE camped in levels this year, something new for our stake. As long as I am the Stake CD, we'll keep doing it too! (WEll, if I can get priesthood support) Each Adult was preassgined a level to work with. I assigned one of the adults in each level to be the level coordinator (This was an adult who was a certified camper) We had planning meetings during the Spring for them to get together and make there plan. A Stake YW presidency person was assigned to be over each level to help smooth out any problems that the ward leaders might not beable to handle. I worked with the YCL's (we had 15 this year). The YCL were told that their number 1 responsibility was to unify their levels. These girls did a fantastic job. They also helped with certification, but it was up to the adults to give them assignments. Ok, so heres kindof how each day went. Monday-- Arrived in buses around 3pm (BTW, this is the first time we did the bus thing--the girls loved it, 2 1/2 hour drive). Had Flag ceremony to open camp. Priesthood dedicated camp ground. Girls dimissed to set up cabins and then meet with level coordinators, leaders to get weekly assignments, instruction, etc. Dinner. 9 of 12 meals cooked by girls on camp stoves or over fire. Evening activity7:30-9: FHE, by wards. Each ward CD was assigned to get something organized for this well ahead of time. Many of the wards delegated the responsibililty out to a member of their wards YW presidency. Worked great! After the evening activities each night we had snack and then the girls went to theri cabins for "Pillow Talk" The YCL went in and told a story, gave a handout and had a disscussion with the girls on the assigned topic. While this was happening, the adults and myself met (20 minute eval meeting). Afterwards we had an optional Campfire activity each night--Tonights, Unity game. Tuesday- Wake up call, Scripture Study, Flag Ceremony, Breakfast and Lab (8:30-11:00)-- We decided this year to let the levels have a bit more flexibility on when they wanted to do meals, so the kitchen coordinator had boxes ready for pick up 1/2 hr before Lab time. While some girls were cooking, others were certifying, and others where doing their assigned chores. Worked slick! Craft time-- Each waard was responsible for provideing a recyclable craft idea, kit and explain during there assigned time. Oh yeah, we also had 2 Spiritual labs today one at the end of the morning lab time and one at the beginning the Dinner/Lab time These were 1/2 hr labs taught by Stake YW Presidency people. Nice break from "certifying" They were very hand on and well put together. Lunch. Rest. Sports-- each day the YCL planned several sports activiites depending on weather. Dinner and Lab time--worked the same as Bkft and Lab. Evening activity--Mormonad Skit night by wards. We gave out the M&M's in the hand--girls loved em! Fireside Activity: Campfire songs Wednesday-- Daily Schedule the same except 4th years left for their tent camp out/ hike in the Primative camp area. Evening Activity-- First Aid Relays planned by the YCL, First Aid Test . Fireside Activity: Squaredancing and swing-- 4th Years hiked back down for the dancing. Thursday-- Signature day! Fabric pens handed out so girls could get signatures Hike day, girls packed lunches and took off. Afternoon Water party-- boats and swimming Dinner-- pot luck, everyone ate together. Testimony meeting with Torchbearer ceremony. Beautiful. Camp highlight. Pillow talk-- You are loved-- 15 minutes of silence and girls read letters provided by moms and or dads. Friday-- Break down camp, say good-byes, go home. Definately a successful, spiritually renewing, friendshipping week! Cant wait for the awards ceremony! _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

Then all the recipes are collected and put into a booklet and handed out a few weeks later. They are always darling books decorated with lots of pigs.

The boys on one side of the cart and the girls on the other. When we got to the camp site, we just moved away from each other. The boys slept over there with our "pa" and the girls slept over here with the "Ma". We had several (12) different familles all together so we really weren't that far apart from each other. (maybe 10 feet) This is a church sponsored activity (where we were) and it is run by the church so I wonder if the directive isn't meant for something else. I know that if we have a ward YM/YW activity and one group is staying over night the other group MUST go home. We never have camp outs within our ward or stake that involve both sexes.

Maybe there is a Children's hospital near you that would like girls to come and read to kids. The nice thing about just a few girls is that you can do those things that cost alittle more money.

We're in southern Calif. and have about 15 active and 5 inactive. Is that just really unusual? Our ward does encompass a large retired community, so I guess we could have a smaller number of youth than normal. We do a lot of things all together. Often 2 activites a month instead of just one. And this summer we decided to plan activities that are appropriate for combined activities every week. It lets the leaders take occasional breaks because we really only need a couple of adults there, instead of every person. Plus, the girls enjoy it more when there are more of them. Our ward split about 3 years ago, and the girls still remember how fun it was to have activities with 3 times the girls (the other ward got the majority, unfortunately). So rather than have 2 Laurels and 2 Mia Maids with their leaders, we have more frequent group activities. This month: scrapbooking (with camp photos); beach party with the YM; tie quilts for 2 former YW leaders who are expecting this month; then we're skipping the week before school starts. For people with small groups who need a break, why don't you just alternate responsibility for the activities? Pres and Sec. for two weeks, then counselors the other two weeks. Sort of like having combined fast Sunday lessons lets the non-teachers get to Relief Society occasionally.

I live in Tuba City, Arizona, on the Navajo Indian Reservation. My husband works for Indian Health Services which brings us here. Yes, it is unusual to have 66 girls on the rolls and only 6 active but it helps to know it's on a Indian Reservation. The Navajo and Hopi people struggle terribly between there religion and their Culture. There is much pressure for them to practice their Native Belief's. Also many of there parents were baptized to go on the Indian Placement Program's in the 60's and 70's and they have never been active but feel it's important to have there children baptized. It's a huge challenge for everyone here. And on top of it, our bishop has to work most Sunday's and is only in attendance every 4 or 5 weeks and we rarely have correlation meeting and the complaints could go on and on, but we live with it and do the best we can not to get discouraged. Anyway, that's probably more than you wanted to know in answer to your question. It's a very unique situation!! Thanks for all your idea's I've received so far. It makes me feel like I'm a part of YW's instead of just alone! Thanks!

Overnight activities for mixed group of youth are not approved . Stake Presidents and Bishops may authorize overnight activities for youth conferences and Temple trips if segregated housing is provided. In all cases, careful planning, safe transportation, signed permission slips, supervision, and chaperoning by leaders are the utmost importance. Church Bulletins are changes to the General Handbook of Instructions. This bulletin came out in 1993 and it states there will be no mixed youth comp outs. Our Stake President was very strict on this one. My advice is check with PH ldrs and remind them of this bulletin, and they can decide for themselves.

I checked on the shipping charges. To send it to anywhere in the continental U.S. the book rate would be 1.25. That does not include a padded envelope... I forgot to price that! The book rate would take a week to get to anyone in the U.S. The book rate is not available to Hawaii or Alaska. To Alaska, the cost is the 3.00 first class postage. I'm guessing that with the shipping envelope it is about 2.oo per book to mail. How about if we split the shipping & for each book just send 9.00 (including you Kay, if you are interested). So basically we are charging you 7.00 for the book & then adding the shipping. Does that sound fair? I'm trying to simplify things and I want to make sure the girls will still make a few dollars on each book. Here is what you need to do: 1. Anyone interested let me know asap. What I have is an order for one book from: Heidi, BYUSue, Jennifer, Laurel, Lesa, Kathy in Kenwood, Jeanette, Jen in SLC, & Judy in SLC Did I miss anyone? If I have that wrong or you changed your mind... I apologize... and please let me know. If you wanted more than one... please let me know that also. Kay you asked about the price, but I'm not counting you unless you e me back & say you actually want one. 2. Then send the checks for 9.00 per book to me: Stacey Price 15342 S.E. 23rd St. Bellevue, WA. 98007 3. When the books come in (80-90 days) I will THEN cash the checks & mail the books to you. I will just mail them to the address on the front of the checks. Any questions??? Let me know. Hope that sounds ok to everyone. Thanks for the orders! You guys are great! Hope you all enjoy the recipes! Stacey - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

Please keep them coming!!!!! I loved the "medical camp" idea! That must have been a blast. Well I am in Salt Lake. We have 10 active girls and about 7 inactive. Most are all different cultures and find tough to get them all together. We had a Retreat in March and got a few of the inactive girls out to that. It was a great experience!!

I joined the church when I was 19, which was 19 years ago, so I don't have any experience with YW.

Our YM and YW recently went on a trip to Slovenia. (I attend a German ward.) There were several chaperones with their families. I've never said anything, but whenever they talk about overnight activities, I wonder how this can be done? I wasn't even a member of the church at that age, but I never went camping or did any overnight activities with mixed groups. Is our ward missing something here? Are they engaging in unapproved activities? I have no handbook. Am I allowed to read the rules of a handbook? If so, which one? I am sometimes concerned that things aren't done the same over here, because I am out of touch with the U.S. The church is supposed to be the same everywhere, but is it? What ARE the policies regarding YW activities and how often they should take place? We recently met to plan the next activities, but we have a break during school vacation. Now I don't know if that was for convenience or what? Sorry to ask so many questions at once. Tracey a bit confused second counselor in YW ...@... If you have ICQ my ICQ# is ....

We are doing a number of things to encourage our "less-actives" But, some activities work better with LARGE groups then with small ones. I have gotten many great ideas. But you can NEVER have enough.

Date: 13 Aug 1998 22:26:46 EDT Pam - Congratulations on you lamb returning to the fold. That is great! We work really hard on our inactives. I've started sending a newsletter "The Buzz" out once a month with a calendar of what is coming up next month. We spotlight the girls and tell about all the neat things we did. (so the inactive feel like they are missing out, which they are) I figured that if they (the less- actives) felt like they were knew what was going on, they would feel more apart of the group and would feel more comfortable about coming to church or the weekly activities. It seems to be helping, the bishop likes it, now he always knows what we're up to. I never realized how much I worry and care about these girls. Its an awesome responsibility. Its all worth it when you start seeing results.

Our stake presidency is really really really concerned about activities in our stake. As was discussed at our last Area Training Meeting, too often we as leaders are providing entertainment for the YW, when we should be utilizing the Young Women class presidencies to plan activities with a gospel purpose. We feel it is in some cases the only opportunity where the young women can come to feel the Spirit. I know it's hard, easier said than done, etc. etc, but it's possible! The girls can really come up with some creative ideas with a gospel purpose if we ALLOW them to! If we train them properly, this area could be working so smoothely and the YW leaders wouldn't feel like they needed a break so much. >Pres and Sec. for two weeks, then counselors the other two weeks. Sort >of like having combined fast Sunday lessons lets the non-teachers get to >Relief Society occasionally. > But the YW leaders have been called of God and set apart to receive inspiration for and in behalf of the Young Women, not the Relief Society . . .

We have been doing a really fun activity for our Ward Conference Mutual Activity that the stake puts on for each ward the Wednesday following their ward conference: On Sunday we speak to them, of course, but we also hand out an "invitation" in the form of a mission call. It is "cutesy" so they know it is a fun night and not a serious MTC. Wednesday night we set up the gym into three areas: Spiritual Care, Nutrition and Health, and Personal Care. Around the room also are banners I made with the words to "I Hope They Call Me On A Mission." You can also play the song when they come in. When the kids come into the gym after opening exercises, we have them form into companionships of two (same gender). We then tie the kids together in their companships with fabric strips (anything else hurts, we taped them with duct tape initially! Tie them together at the ankle and the wrist, and explain that on a mission you are NEVER allowed to leave your companion. We give them name tags in their language. Like my name is Sister Peck. So in N-language it would be Nister Neck. In Pig Latin it would be Istersay Eckpay. In Ubby Dubby it would be Sibisterber Pebeck. We give the kids their Mission Rules, which are: 1. You MUST speak your assigned language for the entire activity. If caught speaking English, dock them 5 points. 2. Missionaries must stay in their mission boundaries (the gym) 3. Missionaries must stay in their area boundaries (with their group) 4. Missionaries must attempt the activity in each area 5. Missionaries area able to earn extra points by singing Mission Hymns (selected Primary hymns without the names of Deity in them) or by passing off additional discussions (more nursery rhymes.) Remember, they have to do all these things in THEIR language. Then have the kids count off by threes, the 1's go to the Ubby Dubby mission, the 2's go to the Pig Latin Mission, and the 3's go to the N-language mission. We send them with their Language Training Instructor to teach them the language. They have about 20 minutes to learn their language, and pass off the first "discussion" which is a nursery rhyme. Then the groups go to their first "area". Group 1 goes to Personal Care: In personal care the kids split up into three different districts: In the first "district" the kids iron as many shirts as they can in 5 minutes (still tied together at the wrists, of course). In the second district they darn socks (which I just printed out in Corel Draw and laminated, then punches holes all around the edges) by looping yarn through the holes on the socks. They do as many as they can in 5 minutes. The third district the kids sew on as many buttons as they can in 5 minutes. You tally up the number of items each companionship did, i.e. 7 socks, or 8 shirts, or 4 buttons, then give them 5 points each for the number they got done. Make sense? 7 socks would be 35 points for each missionary in the companionship, etc. Group two goes to Spiritual Care: They simply assemble a scripture that I printed out in a huge font and cut all the words up. They can use the topical guide to find the scripture. The first companionship to assemble the scripture, read it aloud and cite the source, wins 5 extra points. We have been using Mosiah 1:14. They don't read the scripture in their language (due to Deity). Group three goes to Nutrition/Health, where they review a Food Pyramid and we explain it. Then, we give them a blank one and they have to write down as many foods in each area as they can in 5 minutes. The one with the most foods gets 5 extra points. If there is time left we play "Pit" with some veggie and fruit cards we copied. The missionaries get 5 points for attempting to complete the assignments in each area. We have a place on the back of their mission rule book to keep track of the points for each area, as well as a place to dock them points for breaking rules, and get extra points for singing hymns, etc. Last night their were two boys in my group ( I teach Pig Latin) who sang about 10 primary songs for extra credit. It was sooo cute. I have probably totally lost you. If you are interested and have more questions. E-mail me!

We feel it is in some cases the only opportunity where the young women can come to feel the Spirit. Just wanted to comment on this, when I was a MM our Bishop decided all of our activities had to have a clear gospel purpose. We planned them as a presidency with our leader, and we had to be prepared to tell the Bishop at our monthly planning meeting what the gospel purpose was for each activity. He let a few loosely tied activites go through now and again, but it stayed firm for the rest of the time. It was hard at first, and then we began to see how to tie the gospel into everything, after all the gospel is for everyday, every moment of our lives, not just "Church" activities. We had a lot of fun, and were definitely better off for being able to plan the activities ourselves, and for learning how to apply the gospel to everything from shopping to service.

Or I should say I'm ASPIRING to be fast, cheap & easy! Ü Let me think... my brain is fried... best & easist spinach soup looked VERY easy & I was told is VERY good, a family favorite. (she also has a heavenly mint mousse which is SIMPLE & good...I've already tried that recipe... I couldn't resist! Ü The Laurels were giving me a hard time saying I had to PAY for my cookbook before I could "legally" try any recipe! Ü) the cilantro chicken main dish also looked quick & easy (cook says "four star" or five??? Ü) there are some main dish impossible pie/quiche with several variations... very quick taco pie --- again an "impossible" pie an oven stew --- layer the ingredients in dish & stick in oven the greek salad stuffed pitas look like they would be quick to throw together for a summer meal.... although you might not consider that a main... pretty light ingredients... depends on your family, mine would eat it for dinner. the prime rib - very simple, but unusual way of fixing our yearly Relief Society party (with husbands) on the lake bbq turkey (a marinade) couldn't be simpler & everyone always asks for the recipe... a yearly tradition. my husband's favorite pesto salmon baguettes are a throw together meal in (literally) minutes that he likes us to serve to out of state guests... & HE'LL EVEN FIX IT!!! (How's THAT for being easy for us women!) Serve it with my spinach & strawberry salad with sweet lemon dressing... another quick & easy and you will think you've died and gone to heaven. I know everyone has different tastes... but those truly are two of my family's favorites. There is another salmon on the grill that looks simple to put together. In fact, I have a salmon barbecue (as in a barbecue sauce) recipe that is soooo easy & soooo yummy. Haven't decided if I'm putting it in cookbook yet... I'd be happy to share it with you if you like salmon. Being from Seattle (or living here at one time) & living now in Alaska I'm thinking you might like salmon??? Ok... I hate to say it folks. But I'm about recipe-d out here! (And that's saying a lot coming from me! Ü) I don't mean I'm out of recipes (I'm never out of recipes Ü)... I just mean I'm starting to get sick of it! I'll be glad to get these recipes finally sorted & edited, etc. and sent off to the publisher! This has been my constant project for I don't know how long! The girls have helped a ton. Calling for recipes, calling for recipe orders, picking up recipes & re-copying some that needed to be copied. But this final stuff is still quite a lot of work. My advice to anyone considering it.... DON'T type them yourself! If I had to now start TYPING 300 recipes... or oversee the girls typing 300 recipes.... I don't know what I'd do!!! Hope that gave you some idea Kay. There are some gourmet type recipes in there... but also just some old stand-bys.... really a little of everything it seems. The biggest categories are the main dish & the desserts. That probably isn't a big surprise though! Let me know if you'd like to know anything else about it...

Date: 14 Aug 1998 08:04:24 -0500 Hi Amy, Here is a handout that I just used for the YM/YW presidencies in our ward: TIPS ON CONDUCTING 1. BE PREPARED BEFORE STANDING UP TO CONDUCT! a. Have an agenda or outline to follow. b. Have all items filled in before meeting. c. Be sure of announcements. Know dates,times, places, and who is to attend, etc. 2. STAND UP STRAIGHT a. Don't lean or sit on table. b. Don't fidget c. Stand evenly on both feet. d. Don't keep looking behind you for support. 3. LOOK AT AUDIENCE a. Let your eyes move over the congregation. b. Don't stare at one place. c. Don't just read agenda, glance at the audience. 4. SPEAK CLEARLY a. Know how to pronounce names, places, etc. b. Enunciate clearly. c. Use proper English/grammar. d. Don't chew gum. 5. ACT CONFIDENT a. Don't be frightened. b. Act like you know what you are dong. c. Before the meeting, practice what you are going to say to help develop confidence. d. Remember, the audience doesn't know what you're going to say. If you say it confidently, they will assume you know what you're talking about! 6. BE BRIEF a. Say what you need to say and sit down. b. Don't pop up and down when conducting. Announce several items at once so you don't have to get up and down. 7. BE REVERENT a. The audience will reflect you attitude. Give them a sample agenda to use if you haven't already. This will help them to be organized and successful. Hope this helps. Good luck.

It's not influenza, but three or four fellows are dead, and it's kind of interesting, and they're sending some doctors over there to investigate it. You don't thing much about it, but on Sunday, coming home from church, you hear another radio spot. Only they say it's not three villagers, it's 30,000 villagers in the back hills of this particular area of India, and it's on TV that night. CNN runs a little blurb; people are heading there from the disease center in Atlanta because this disease strain has never been seen before. By Monday morning when you get up, it's the lead story. For it's not just India; it's Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, and before you know it, you're hearing this story everywhere and they have coined it now as "the mystery flu". The President has made some comment that he and everyone are praying and hoping that all will go well over there. But everyone is wondering, How are we going to contain it? That's when the President of France makes an announcement that shocks Europe. He is closing their borders. No flights from India, Pakistan, or any of the countries where this thing has been seen. And that's why that night you are watching a little bit of CNN before going to bed. Your jaw hits your chest when a weeping woman is translated from a French news program into English: There's a man lying in a hospital Pais dying of the mystery flu. It has come to Europe. Panic strikes. As best they can tell, once you get it, you have it for a week and you don't know it. Then you have four days of unbelievable symptoms. And then you die. Britain closes it's borders, but it's too late. South Hampton, Liverpool, North Hampton, and it's Tuesday morning when the President of the United States makes the following announcement: "Due to a national security risk, all flights to and from Europe and Asia have been canceled. If your loved ones are overseas, I'm sorry. They cannot come back until we find a cure for this thing." Within four days our nation has been plunged into an unbelievable fear. People are selling little masks for your face. People are talking about What if it comes to this country, and preachers on Tuesday are saying, It's the scourge of God. It's Wednesday night and you are at a church prayer meeting when somebody runs in from the parking lot and says, Turn on a radio, turn on a radio. And while the church listens to a little transistor radio with a microphone stuck up to it, the announcement is made. Two women are lying in a Long Island hospital dying from the mystery flu. Within hours it seems, this thing just sweeps across the country. People are working around the clock trying to find an antidote. Nothing is working.California. Oregon. Arizona. Florida. Massachusetts. It's as though it's just sweeping in from the borders. And then, all of a sudden the news comes out. The code has been broken. A cure can be found. A vaccine can be made. It's going to take the blood of somebody who hasn't been infected, and so, sure enough, all through the Midwest, through all those channels of emergency broadcasting, everyone is asked to do one simple thing: Go to your downtown hospital and have your blood type taken. That's all we ask of you. And when you hear the sirens go off in your neighborhood, please make your way quickly, quietly, and safely to the hospitals. Sure enough, when you and your family get down there late on that Friday night, there is a long line, and they've got nurses and doctors coming out and pricking fingers and taking blood and putting labels on it. Your wife and your kids are out there, and they take your blood type and they say, Wait here in the parking lot and if we call your name, you can be dismissed and go home. You stand around scared with your neighbors, wondering what in the world is going on, and that this is the end of the world. Suddenly a young man comes running out of the hospital screaming. He's yelling a name and waving a clipboard. What? He yells it again! And your son tugs on your jacket and says, "Daddy, that's me." Before you know it, they have grabbed your boy. Wait a minute, hold it! And they say, "It's okay, his blood is clean. His blood is pure. We want to make sure he doesn't have the disease. We think he has got the right type." Five tense minutes later, out come the doctors and nurses, crying and hugging one another - some are even laughing. It's the first time you have seen anybody laugh in a week, and an old doctor walks up to you and says, "Thank you, sir. Your son's blood type is perfect. It's clean, it is pure, and we can make the vaccine." As the word begins to spread all across that parking lot full of folks, people are screaming and praying and laughing and crying. But then the gray-haired doctor pulls you and you wife aside and says, "may we see you for a moment? We didn't realize that the donor would be a minor and we need. . . we need you to sign a consent form." You begin to sign and then you see that the number of pints of blood to be taken is empty. "H-h-h-how many pints?" And that is when the old doctor's smile fades and he says, "We had no idea it would be a little child. We weren't prepared. We need it all! But - but...You don't understand. We are talking about the world here. Please sign. We- we need it all - we need it all!" "But can't you give him a transfusion?" "If we had clean blood we would. Can you sign? Would you sign?" In numb silence you do. Then they say," Would you like to have a moment with him before we begin?" Can you walk back? Can you walk back to that room where he sits on a table saying, "Daddy? Mommy? What's going on?" Can you take his hands and say, "Son, your mommy and I love you, and we would never ever let anything happen to you that didn't just have to be. Do you understand that?" And when that old doctor comes back in and says, "I'm sorry, we've - we've got to get started. People all over the world are dying." Can you leave? Can you walk out while he is saying, "Dad? Mom? Dad? Why -why have you forsaken me?" And then next week, when they have the ceremony to honor your son, and some folks sleep through it, and some folks don't even come because they go to the lake,and some folks come with a pretentious smile and just pretend to care. Would you want to jump up and say, "MY SON DIED! DON'T YOU CARE?" Is that what He wants to say? "MY SON DIED. DON'T YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I CARE?" "Father, seeing it from your eyes breaks our hearts. Maybe now we can begin to comprehend the great love you have for us. --------- End forwarded message ---------- --------- End forwarded message ---------- _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

We lived downstairs and rented the upstairs rooms to outpatients at the clinic. One summer evening as I was fixing supper, there was a knock at the door. I opened it to see a truly awful looking man. "Why, he's hardly taller than my eight-year-old," I thought as I stared at the stooped, shriveled body. But the appalling thing was his face--lopsided from swelling, red and raw. Yet his voice was pleasant as he said, "Good evening. I've come to see if you've a room for just one night. I came for a treatment this morning from the eastern shore, and there's no bus 'til morning." He told me he'd been hunting for a room since noon but with no success, no one seemed to have a room. "I guess it's my face... I know it looks terrible, but my doctor says with a few more treatments..." For a moment I hesitated, but his next words convinced me: "I could sleep in this rocking chair on the porch. My bus leaves early in the morning." I told him we would find him a bed, but to rest on the porch I went inside and finished getting supper. When we were ready, I asked the old man if he would join us. "No thank you. I have plenty." And he held up a brown paper bag. When I had finished the dishes, I went out on the porch to talk with him a few minutes. It didn't take a long time to see that this old man had an oversized heart crowded into that tiny body. He told me he fished for a living to support his daughter, her five children, and her husband, who was hopelessly crippled from a back injury. He didn't tell it by way of complaint; in fact, every other sentence was prefaced with a thanks to God for a blessing. He was grateful that no pain accompanied his disease, which was apparently a form of skin cancer. He thanked God for giving him the strength to keep going. At bedtime, we put a camp cot in the children's room for him. When I got up in the morning, the bed linens were neatly folded and the little man was out on the porch. He refused breakfast, but just before he left for his bus, haltingly, as if asking a great favor, he said, "Could I please come back and stay the next time I have a treatment? I won't put you out a bit. I can sleep fine in a chair." He paused a moment and then added, "Your children made me feel at home. Grownups are bothered by my face, but children don't seem to mind." I told him he was welcome to come again. On his next trip he arrived a little after seven in the morning. As a gift, he brought a big fish and a quart of the largest oysters I had ever seen. He said he had shucked them that morning before he left so that they'd be nice and fresh. I knew his bus left at 4:00 a.m. and I wondered what time he had to get up in order to do this for us. In the years he came to stay overnight with us there was never a time that he did not bring us fish or oysters or vegetables from his garden. Other times we received packages in the mail, always by special delivery; fish and oysters packed in a box of fresh young spinach or kale, every leaf carefully washed. Knowing that he must walk three miles to mail these, and knowing how little money he had made the gifts doubly precious. When I received these little remembrances, I often thought of a comment our next-door neighbor made after he left that first morning. "Did you keep that awful looking man last night? I turned his away! You can lose roomers by putting up such people!" Maybe we did lose roomers once or twice. But oh! If only they could have known him, perhaps their illnesses would have been easier to bear. I know our family always will be grateful to have know him; from him we learned what it was to accept the bad without complaint and the good with gratitude to God. Recently I was visiting a friend who has a greenhouse. As she showed me her flowers, we came to the most beautiful one of all, a golden chrysanthemum, bursting with blooms. But to my great surprise, it was growing in an old dented, rusty bucket. I thought to myself, "If this were my plant, I'd put it in the loveliest container I had!" My friend changed my mind. "I ran short of pits," she explained, "and knowing how beautiful this one would be, I thought it wouldn't mind starting out in this old pail. It's just for a little while, 'til I can put it out in the garden." She must have wondered why I laughed so delightedly, but I was imagining just such a scene in heaven. "Here's an especially beautiful one," god might have said when he came to the soul of the sweet old fisherman. "He won't mind starting in this small body." All this happened long ago and now, in God's garden, how tall this lovely soul must stand.

I am not sure how pushy and involved I should be. I guess it depends on the girls. I'm pushy in the sense that I try to mention projects or tie it in even at the end of Sunday lessons or during opening exercises. Our girls are planning some of the activities, so when they go over the calendar it provides an opportunity to mention that the closing social is being planned by Amanda as one of her projects, or that someone will be sharing the special scrapbook they made as one of their projects, etc. I also share neat ideas I've heard on this list. Beyond that, I frequently talk to the girls, formally or informally, about possible ideas, goal setting, procrastination, motivation, etc. I've never been one of those people who feel that under the guise of "agency" we just sit back and give the girls their own space, so I may be more involved than others are. I feel that Satan is very forceful, and I don't mind reminding them frequently of some of the many opportunities the gospel provides. We're not a very homogenous group culturally in our ward, so I also try to reinforce the idea that the projects can be extremely varied and can let the girl develop areas she's interested in no matter what her interests. Some of our girls that don't fit the "Molly Mormon" profile (or whatever the youth equivelent of that is) can get discouraged and not see how a Somoan or Hispanic focus can still be used within the PP program. There are a couple of girls that I feel comfortable just stopping and cheerfully telling them they need to show me two project ideas by the next Sunday; there are others I feel comfortable telling their moms that we need help in getting the girls to move forward on the projects. Then there are others that I encourage but wouldn't be so forceful with. But on the whole, I consider myself the coach, rather than just a cheerleader, so I don't mind getting more involved. Hope that helps. (note: I'm the YW Pres, don't have a Laurel advisor, so I do both and maybe that makes me more involved as the only one!)

At first we were shocked, and heartbroken. We really did not know what to do except pray. WE came across the idea of friendshipping the other members. And it worked! You can plan activities like a barbecue and invite the less active or inactive members over. During this time, you can ask them questions to get to know them better. Once this is done, they will more than likely be more comfortable with the idea of attending yw and other activities. If you need any more help, ask the missionaries about their friendshipping experiences. I'll continue to look through my journal for more ideas to help you!

Our leaders had every teen bring a CD/cassette with some of the music that they listened to all of the time. We had to choose a song off of our CD/cassette and we'd all take turns playing our one song. We would then discuss the quality of the lyrics and rhythm. It was neat, cause the kids out here ACTUALLY brought the music they listened to--and not just stuff that would please the leaders. It DID get scary at times, but I was at least impressed that they were honest! Another of my favorites was when us YW went around our area and saw all the 'historical' sights. We live in a very, VERY small community, and we have those kind of things, for example: the original house of the people that founded the area. Their personal graveyard. The old schoolhouse, etc. They're really awesome things to go and look at--I love the broken down old houses and all!:-) Just a few ideas, hope they helped! Later!

Date: 14 Aug 1998 23:49:18 -0300 I have a question about how you treat the 18 year olds. My daughter and her best friend were our only active 18 year old Laurels after February. The girls couldn't make up their minds about whether to be Laurels or R.S. Usually they were Laurels. They tried out RS a couple of times before June. After June, they were strictly R.S. except for a combined activity when we went to the beach. But, all of us leaders took our families with us, so I guess they really weren't crashing the party. Anyway, I have a member of my presidency who thinks that they have to be either YW or RS. I am happy no matter what they choose for a particular week, as long as they are in one class or the other and not roaming the halls. I have been told I am just a tad laid back--LOL. I will have one Laurel turning 18 in September. This member of the presidency is already pushing me to give her an ultimatum, either YW or RS. What is your opinions? From my woods in Maine, Marianne B. P.S.

Bennett" Subject: Re: (lds-yw) Pioneer Trek / Wilderness Youth Conference Date: 14 Aug 1998 23:36:16 -0300 I don't know if this would be within the directives, but we had two rows of tents about 25 to 30 feet apart. The boys camped on one side and the girls on the other. Each tent had an adult of the same sex sleeping in there. The "fathers" took turns standing watch throughout the night just as the pioneers did. They walked the length of the camp back and forth for their hour and then passed on the responsibility to the next father. Maybe that is far enough away to be not a coed camp. And I guess I am a rebel, but I don't really see a difference between camping in the same field with a safe distance between the male and female tents and staying in dorms or motels. I think we had different floors within the same dorm when I was a teenager at college dorms for YC, but when we went on our temple trip in February this year, we just had separate rooms with an adult in each room.

Date: 15 Aug 1998 00:41:53 EDT In our Stake a girl can stay in Young Women until she graduates from High School. If she would like to she can stay until the start of the new school year. In the handbook on page 6 it says, "young women who reach their eighteenth birthday will ordinarily move into the RS. However, because of special circumstances ...... a young women may move into RS earlier or remain in Young Women longer." I have a daughter that will be 18 in December, but she won't graduate till June so she will stay in Young Women till she graduates. I think that it is important that they pick one or the other. If they don't really belong to either group they could get lost in the cracks. It would be hard for the Laurel advisor or the Relief Society to keep track of their needs. Also, we are a record keeping people, neither organization would have accurate records if they are going back and forth. - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

We have one now who turned 18 in July, and she's staying with YW until school starts in a couple of weeks. Then she has to decide whether to go to our ward's RS or the young adult ward nearby. But she's not a young woman anymore. I don't agree with hopping back and forth; instead of feeling more involved, I think they feel like they don't belong either place. Perhaps it's better for her than having her roam the halls, but how does it help the other YW to learn you can circumvent the church if you feel like it? If you have a YW with an unusual circumstance and who just can't bond with RS women, maybe you can talk with the RS pres and recommend a calling to the bishop. The more involved they are, the more likely they are to feel a part of the group. It's an easier transition. One of the hardest lessons that we learn, as kids or adults, is that there is an order to all things. It's an easy lesson when the order goes our way, but when it's uncomfortable, we try to get around things. It's a great gift to these young women to help them understand that the church order is ordained by the Lord, not something we cooked up in our spare time. That it's important and inspired. By the way, I think it's easier on the YW if throughout their time in YW, movement to RS is matter of fact and mandatory, rather than a lot of exceptions and commiseration about how awful RS is! Then they understand and accept the policy, and it's easier for them to adjust to it in their minds. Just my opinion. :) Laurie in Oceanside, CA - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

Date: 15 Aug 1998 07:50:19 -0700 I agree, at least they are coming to church. The hand book says that until the 18 yr. old graduates from high school it is between her, the bishop and her parents. Frankly, I encourage my 18 yr.olds to stay in YW through the summer they graduate. Then it seems that most of them are going off to school anyway, which means they will be in student wards. This year my laurels pretty much on their own decided that as soon as they graduated they were done with YW. I try to help them develop good feelings about R.S. the 2 years they are a laurel and so far, my girls have seemed to set their own date for leaving YW to attend with the adults. That includes S. school as well as R. society. I also speak prety frankly with them about what they want to do and what they are planning. We have a Young Single Adult Branch in our stake, but our bishop has asked our kids to not attend until they are 19. I do have one former laurel that grauated in June, isn't going to Ricks until winter quarter that has been called to serve in Primary. She is loving having a calling and serving. I agree it is hard when the girls can't decide and drift back and forth, feeling like a fish out of water in both organizations. Oh, something else that perhaps helps, as soon as they turn 18, our R. society pres. assigns them to be visit taught and to go out with a Sr. partner visiting teaching. Most of the girls feel funny having a visiting teacher, but love going out to visit. It prayerfully takes the right route, right partner and right visiting teacher, though Just my 2 cents worth-cathie -----Original Message----- >I feel the same way. At least they're in the building!!

I think They should have their own choice, giving them an ultimatum could hurt their feelings. Your just lucky to get them to church. I agree with you as long as they're going to a class it shouldn't matter what one. Making that transition isn't easy anyway, doing it slow one Sunday here one there would be a lot easier. I saw too many of my friends fall away because they didn't like going to RS because all the "old" women in there. I think doing it slow helps them to appreciate growing up and seeing both sides of the fence before they have to go on the other side. Well that's mt .02$ worth.

We invite to the summer activities after graduation however we also utilize this time to encourage the transition. We have an older couple in the ward who function as the Young Single Adult Shepherds. THey hold FHE in their home for these kids and work with the YSA ward reps in having activities. During the summer they take special interest in the YM/YW leaving the youth program and help them in their transition to the adult classes. They have proved invaluable in this effort. Our RS Pres also personally visits the graduating laurels during the summer and introduces them to the RS program. There has been a few who want to stay back however the combined efforts of these organizations has been the key to our success. It is not the sole responsibility of the YW President to move these girls on.

Take seminary for instance. In Utah and other areas where a load of LDS kids live close, Seminary is held either in the school setting (which is the ideal in my dream world) or at least on a morning basis before school. But when you get into the mission field where your ward boundaries encompass a 50 mile radius... We have the need to "flex" the program to meet the needs of those youth... perhaps home study with a meeting once a week before mutual... Or separate seminary classes in their areas.... I live in such a situation now, and have before. We take it to the Lord and follow his guidance. And we have to with many situations, not just seminary. I have 13 active yw... 4 families worth... 3 families are on vacation for the entire month of August. of the 4 remaining girls 2 never come to Activities because they work and 1 is starting up in sports so she too doesn't come. That leaves 1 girl; Now, I am also minus 2 leaders this month...leaving 2. I questioned the August Calendar with Stake leaders... They wipe it clean in August. No meetings and suggest the same for the Youth Programs in the wards. I've been in wards/stakes that don't do it that way, and I've now been in 2 that do. Call Salt Lake and they'll tell you to follow your Stake President's counsel. In correlation I brought up that I had prayed for counsel and had decided I would not be having "normal" YW Activities in Aug. The bishopric nodded and said that was the suggestion from the Stake they had just got at their meeting the day before. The YM president then decided he would follow their counsel. So it comes to this.... do what the Lord, and the Leaders He has given you say. In OUR area, this works best. The building is still open 2 nights a week and 1 day for basketball and exercise (we have a sort of gym room set up)... It's not like we have no contact with the remaining youth... Phone calls etc. PLUS we do see them on Sunday before, during and after class to chat with and catch up on... AND the one activity a month is a good way to stay in touch. I'm the YW Pres who will be having a "Back-to-school night sleepover" the end of the month right before school starts. I haven't dropped the gospel for a "month of vacation" ! And I sure hope you don't think you are!!!!! We have been admonished to follow the "Spirit" and our "local leaders". The Gospel is true, and our Leadership loves and cares for us, and they know what is best in your particular situation. Here on the list??? We have "opinions"... Don't let us make you feel guilty.

They always refer us back to the local PH Ldrs. Isn't it great. We are entitled to our own opinions, and we should express them, and I think everyone would agree to that.

I as have been trying to do this one important scripture kept coming to mind, "Adam fell that man might be, and men are that they might have joy" Take care that just because something has a gospel tie doesn't mean no fun and no joy! Some of the things we did: Following the Prophets directions: Journal writing, our advisor made up 365 different questions, she copied them onto bright papers, cut them up into 365 separate pieces of paper, and filled a qt size mason jar with them. She then put a piece of fabric over the top, and the ring portion of the lid on it. Each night we were to pick out a piece and answer that question in our journal. They were all different, like what is your favorite Christmas memory , where were you born, and details, who is your mother, father, grandma, etc....Favorite color, food, sport, hobby, subject, etc.... I don't still have them, though I wish I did. They were about everything. That way we were writing our personal history, and keeping a journal, also erases the excuse I don't have anything to write about... We also made little fabric covered, books for journals, Journals doesn't just mean writing, so we would occasionaly do what is now called scrapbooking, putting pictures on pages and writing about them, adding stickers, die-cuts, etc.. If you don't do this chances are somone in your ward does, amd they could come teach about taking care of your photos, etc WE had a night where we recorded some olderr member's stories and transcribed them as gifts for their families, We learned about gardening, and made small herb gardens in window boxes or pots to practice on, We made bags for carrying temple clothes you could either save them or give as a gift, Learning a language-Pres. Kimball said we should all learn a second lang. while you can't learn everything you can learn hello, thank you, please, do you speak English, and also learn about cultures, foods, customs, etc.. This is especially good if you have members from different countries, who can help. Service- -we had to do a service project at least once a month, we door ditched treats, kidnapped less-actves for ice cream, babysat foor families so they parents could go out, The ideas here are unlimited, because service relates to the GW value, as well as to the principle of service. There is a scipture in D&C that talks about having a house of order,a house of prayer....so we did some activities making an organizer for papers, organizing your closet, making time for school, prayer, church, jobs... Word of Wisdom We would cook!!always a winner with us, we made things in accordance with the guidelines, of course all things in moderation, =) One time we made a different dish each month from a new country, and learned about that country as well. 13th AOF Talks about seeking after all things lovely, praiseworthy, and of good report...under this line of thinking we did a lot of cultural things, and learned about different arts and expanding horizons We have been counseled to prepare ourselves for our futures, as homemakers or in the workplace, and with that in mind we learned the basics of sewing, cooking, decorating a home, shopping wisely, study tips, etc.. Even in college as a young person you will need to know how to do these things, and we should be prepared for all things. Knowledge-This applies to the above category as well as a huge variety of subjects. We have eternity in front of us and so much to learn, sometimes just picking some art like watercoloring or a book to read, and then come together to discuss it is fun (with snacks of course!) This also applies to preparation, and Knowledge, we learned the basics of car repair. How to change a tire, check the oil, check the fluids, add oil, change windshield wipers, etc.. This is still helpful to me today!! Choice And Acct. I don't really remember the details of this, but here is the basics, we started in one room, each given a piece of paper with a choice to make on it, different rooms for different choices, our paths led us individually all through the church, and we were rewarded differently for different choices we made. There have been a lot of posts about this type of thing. It is a great activity, and very applicable. Also, who plans your activities,? As YW we always planned them ourselves, with our advisor, I think that is the way it is supposed to work. We did a lot of different things, if your YWP is concerned about everything being related to the gospel maybe you could just make sure you always begin with a scripture, or quote from an aspotle, and make a point at the end before the closing prayer of how this relates to the gospel. Also, maybe gently remind your YWP that if the girls aren't enjoying themselves they won't come, and that is detrimental to your goals. You want the YW to have fun, and learn how to apply the gospel in everyday life. Every day life includes lots of fun!!!! Hope this helps a little, if you have something in particular you want to do, and can't figure out a way to tie it in, let me know, and I will see if I can help.

Any ideas for a fundraiser" (then your reply) Hey! I have a great idea for a fundraiser!! You could sell Red scripture markers!!! ****************************** Ivy said: " da da dia gai dna idigna eididnad" Really?? that's pretty cool, Ivy. I see you learned a new language. ****************************** End message, good bye, wave to all your cyber family, etc. This is how my list does our messages, and it really cuts down on posts!!!

If they are all batched together then I have to go back and cut and paste what I want to save, and I also have to scroll down through the parts of the message to find what I am looking for. Maybe if it is creating too much traffic on your mailbox you could create another one, juno lets you have 5 mailboxes on each account, and it is free, maybe you could try that, then it won't clog up the family mail box.

If you do you might ask this person to help out with the trial. I would probably be easier for this person to pull it all together to being familiar with the law system. You will need a jury, judge, defence lawer/team, prosecuting attorney/team, defendant, prosecutor, and people to testify. You will also need to have the facts of the case (you can also have hidden facts and let people know that they are not to freely give information. They must be asked directly or don't say anything.) You don't give scripts. You would give them what they saw and remember, then a personal history and relationships with those involved and let them make the choice of what they would say under oath. You could tell them they are having strong feelings to tell the truth no mater what or that they are having the urge to lie. This is where a person who is familiar with the legal system would come in. They would posabily know of a case that they could get the details from and change a few things to make work. If you are not abel to get help from someone associated with the law system try watching the 'Halmark Hall of Fame' movie "What the Deaf Man Heard." It is a great movie and I am sure it would give you an idea of something to do. I hope this didn't make you have to many more questions. If you need more help I will try as best I can. Just be spacific in what you ask. Jessica hetrick@prodigy.net Lawley wrote: > > Hi, my name is Anne, and I'm new to this list.

Well at the end of class she gave everyone a plant, I had it for years and it never grew.... Through this time I thought about throwing it out because it was an ugly plant with one leaf on it. I didn't look at it much and didn't pay attention to it. Went on my own way and practically lost my testimony. Well, after I got with it again I found a wonderful guy and was sealed in the temple. We brought the plant to our home now 17 months later it has eight leaves!! It has turned out to be a beautiful plant. I suppose my testimony was the same as the plant grew. It gets bigger everyday and so does my testimony. My mom was amazed when she came to my house and saw the plant after seeing it so small and lifeless for so many years. So the moral to the story is I kept one of my "handouts" though I didn't quite understand the power of it then (10 years ago) I am glad I never threw out the plant. I would have never known and remember my teacher Sis. Lynch so fondly. I would love to run into here and see if she remembered that sunday morning, Being irritated with us and giveing us all plants. I also wonder if the other girls in my class had the same results with their handout I think all the suggestions for the books and boxes are great I think I'll make me one.

I would totally encourage this to everyone. It gives the girls a chance to get to know the other girls in the stake when they first start attending camp. In our stake the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd years bunk together with thier own wards and the 4th, 5th, and 6th years bunk by levels. I didn't attend camp my fourth or fifth years but was planning to for my 6th year, I decided not to, though, after I learned that no other 6th year girls from my own ward were going. I don't know any other girls from my stake (they attend different schools and we don't have too many stake activities) and so I didn't really want to go. I think that if we would have bunked by levels instead of wards I would have been given the opportunity to get to know them during my first years at cam.

I am a YW president in Michigan, and every time some idea comes up, I am famous for the words, "We could turn that into a Laurel project." I set a deadline last year for the girls to receive their recognition, even though they technically had until their 19th birthday. I did this by having a senior honors night/ YWomanhood Recognition Night. One girl was finishing her last project THAT DAY, and I fear she still would be working on it if their wasn't a deadline. Two of my six Seniors did not get the award, but they were highlighted in the program in a different way. I am constantly thinking of ways for what the girls are "doing in life" to turn into a Laurel Projects. It's a matter of "thinking differently." For example....I had a Laurel this past year who was a member of her High School Pom Pon squad. As a team captain, she was assigned to receive a video with a "routine" on it, learn the routine, and then teach it to the 33 other girls in the squad. Was that not a goal, project, and completion? (under Knowledge). It took well over 60 hours to complete. On another note, one of my Laurels's was hardpressed to do another service project. I contacted the Primary, who were More than willing to allow her to be in charge and coordinate a Quarterly Activity. I helped her with the idea, drove her to the store to pick up supplies, and "shadow-leadershipped her" through the entire process. I feel we don't help the girls if we tell them to "go on their way" and not help them. I do believe your YW president about "Personal Progress" being "personal", but I feel that applies when you have a Super Saturday to get all of your goals done. That DOES defeat the purpose of "personal progress." The projects are done one by one. One last thought....when I became the YW president almost two years ago, I needed something to "kick-off" Laurel Projects (there was a lot of apathy in the ward). We started with a "Book of Mormon Marathon.' It was under knowledge, and we read the entire Book of Mormon out loud. It took us 27 and a half hours. But, the Laurel that were there were edified, and got one project done....which motivated them to do more. We have NEVER had four woman in one year receive their YW Recognition before. Get involved in the Laurels "Personal" lives. You, and them , will be richly rewarded!

Date: 16 Aug 1998 14:06:46 -0500 We have a box called our "Treasure Chest". When a girl has perfect atttendance for the month, she can select something out of the treasure chest. My couselors and I add things to this chest whenever we find little things at the "Only a Buck" store or just anywhere we see something cute that is inexpensive. We also keep several Mormon Ads on hand cause the girls like them a lot.. This really seems to give our girls incentive. One girl told me she started to buy the package of Mormon Ads for her room, but liked the feeling of being able to earn them each month by having perfect attendance and she is trying to collect them all. We are also planning a 100% Sunday. Each age group and their counselor are really going to start working with the inactive girls in their age group to get them all out on this particular Sunday. We are going to do something special for each group that accomplishes this, haven't really decided what yet, still in the planning stages on this one. . .Ruth in LA.

While two of us filled the super soakers with water, a third leader quielty laid out squirt guns on the eating tables without calling any attention to them at all. As we walked into camp, we squirted at girls we knew would be good sports and it just snowballed from there. One of the YW finally noticed that there were squirt guns on the table (some of which we had loaded for them).

She lived a different life than we really can relate to and thinks we live in the country... Which we don't... Anyway, at BYC our Bishop said that for any other person we have done a great job at fellowshipping and bringing her in. But for her we needed to do more. She is used to walking outside and always being around tons of people... Her ideas of fun were running through the park with friends. After hours, where there were known rapist just for the sheer thrill of it, hanging with the bloods (gang group) hiding blades in her mouth and hair for fights. In NY there was always something going on... Colorado is such a massive change in Lifestyle. Does anyone have any idea on how to help her with this change? Ever faced this? She has a good heart, we've gone out several times and she has been to the activities we have had. My Mia President would be happy with any great ideas! We have chalked her, taken her for ice-cream, swimming.. oh she has been here for three weeks.

The topic we were assigned is to talk about letting our light shine. More specifically, we wanted to give suggestions on ways in which these elderly women at their age can still be a light in other people's lives. Sometimes when people get old, they no longer feel useful or needed. I was wondering if you good sisters can post some ideas on how I can address these sweet elderly ladies and uplift them.

Date: 16 Aug 1998 22:31:26 -0400 For our Laurels they had the choice to go to YW's or Relief Society once they were 18! (During the school year) The Bishop usually has the birthday interview with them and tells them once they make a decision they must stick with it! We had one Laurel go to RS back in Feb. when she turned 18 but the others waited until they graduated! They seem to be adjusting just fine. Once they graduate from HS they need to move up in my opinion. Good luck! Beth in Md. -----Original Message----- > >I have a question about how you treat the 18 year olds.

Chalking someone.... Generally I get a van load of girls and after 10pm we go to the designated house. .. Or houses. We cover their driveway and sidewalk with side walk chalk. We draw pictures and write things like... Roses are red violets are blue no one is more loved than you, we love you, What a QT, ect.... Or what ever is needed. We chalk the bishop often.. Tell him how much we love him and appreciate his efforts. There's nothing like being chalked. Last week it was just my Laurel pres and I and we went to do a girl who was having a rough week and we ended up talking until 2am out on their driveway. Really a neat moment. Have you ever heart attacked the girls? Construction paper cut like hearts put all over their door. On the hearts you write the same type of things. We generally place them on their doors but I have heart attacked their rooms as well. We have even made paper Indian Tee Pee and write you have been TPed on their doors. Hope everyone is well!

We photo copied each page on value colored paper using all value colors (white were the leaders and the remainder colors were the YW questionaires.) As I said before, the birthday girl and the YW she chose to ready the questions and answers would stand in front during opening excercies and read the question and responses to the other girls. This was a way of learning about the birthday girl. She also received a minature figurine of a woman. The questionaire was completed the sunday before her birthday or at times, the sunday she was being spotlighted. The young women of our ward have really enjoyed being spotlighted with these questions as well as hearing how the other YW answer the questions.

I think they should be welcomed at church no matter what class they decide to attend on a particular week. Eventually I would think they would start to feel distanced from the younger YW and attend RS, or it coule be suggested that they be given a calling in YW or primary if they're still uncomfortable with RS. - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

Date: 17 Aug 1998 09:00:25 -0700 I agree, having served both as a "YOUNG" leader (called to be Beehive advisor when I was 20) and now as an "OLDER" (37 I know not that old but more experienced) leader and having two teenage daughters of my own. I feel I had things to contribute at both times in my life that were good for the girls. But I have to say that as an "OLDER" leader and having the experience of living with teenagers, I think that I have more patience and am a better counselor to the YW, I am able to see daily the struggles that the youth today face today, because I can see it both from the YW view but also the view of their parents. I think this helps me to "Turn the hearts of the YW to their parents" because I can talk to the girls and understand their struggles but also I can explain the struggles that we as parents have in being parents because I am going or have gone through the things their parents are. Also I think that we are LEADERS FIRST yes the girls will consider us a friend but we have a responsibility to be an example and a leader. The girls have lots of friends, they need to see us as a role model someone they respect and want to emulate. When I was a YOUNG leader the girls all called me by my first name and it was fine with me. But now that I am and OLDER leader, I feel it is important for the YW to call us by "Sister----" and as a parent I want my girls to call their leaders by "Sister----" I want their leaders to be their leaders and not just "ONE OF THE GIRLS" Our Youth need righteous role models and who better to fill that role then their leaders. Sorry this is so long but I think righteous women at any age (I worked with a 65 year old women who was the Laurel advisor and she was WONDERFUL with the girls) are a blessing in the lives of our youth.

I was going to just slink back into my rocker and quietly ponder this... But since you've "revealed" you too are older than dirt... Well, just for the record.. My presidency is 45(me), 45(counselor) and 24(counselor)... our advisors are 35 and 53 respectfully... Only one of us have YW in the program... And I have more "umph" , enthusiasm and energy than all 12 of our active girls put together! (which I am reminded of constantly by them!) :-) I must confess I started late in life with my family and have a 6 and 11 year old ... which keeps me on my toes. Our 24 year old leader (married and mother of 2 1/2 children) is often mistaken at Stake events as one of the YW and she can't command any respect for herself as a teacher or leader(she teaches her BeeHive class...there are only 3 girls) Even at camp, the girls won't listen to her. They love her, but she's just "Amy" to them...just another girl. It is very hard for her. She loves being in the program, but doesn't know how to be friends yet be a leader too. Any suggestions would be great.

His talk is 8pm (MDT) on Tues. 18th. See web site of CES at BYU for the rest of schedule. http://coned.byu.edu/ed/Broadcast98.htm The second thing is a BACK TO SCHOOL activity we are planning to do using the "Survival Kit for camp leaders" offered on the list a while ago. We will have the girls pull the items with the notes attached, out of a backpack and read the note, then they can keep the item. We will also discuss "other" items in their bag such as integrity, good works, knowledge, etc. and how they can use these values every day at school. Here are some of the ideas for school items-thanks to list members for their ideas previously posted: A TOOTHPICK to remind you to pick the good qualities in everyone including yourself. A RUBBERBAND to remind you to be flexible. Things might not always go the way you want, but they will work out. A BANDAID to remind you to heal hurt feelings, either yours or somebody elses. A ERASER to remind you that everyone makes mistakes. Be forgiving. A CANDY KISS to remind you that everyone needs a compliment each day. A STICK of GUM to remind you to stick with it and you can accomplish anything. A PENNY to remind you to count your blessings every day. A MINT to remind you that we think you're worth a mint. A BOOK OF MORMON in a lunchbag: Feast on HIS word. OR Decide ahead of time what's for lunch. BAG of CHIPS: Turn to prayer when the "chips" are down. COMPASS (the kind with pensil in them to draw a circle): Full circle always brings you home again. OR The eternal circle of life. Pkg of PAPER: Don't forget to record your day in you journal. PENCIL/LEAD: Be lead by the Spirit. RULER: Stay on the straight and narrow. PE-CHEE folder: Have a peachy keen attitude. PAPER CLIP: Clip yourself to good friends and invite others to clip to you. SCISSORS: Cut out your bad habits. PAPER PUNCH: Don't punch holes in anyone else's day. GLUESTICK: Stick to your standards/testimony. CRAYONS or COLORED PENCILS: Try different things in your life- color your life. PENCIL SHARPENER: Sharpen your skills, not your tongue. KEY CHAIN: You hold the keys to your success. BOOK COVER: Cover yourself from others unkind actions. BOOK LIGHT/LAMP: Let Christ be the Light that leads your way. Any other ideas or substitutes for those listed above?

We all have our own challanges and demands placed on us no matter what age or station in life. I know for a fact that when I was called to be in YW there were VERY MANY schocked people in my ward that probablly questioned the wisdom of timing as I was called just 2 months after my youngest daughter died. But it is exactlly what I needed right now and I KNOW that Heavenly Fater knew that. I think that even my bishop was a little worried about me taking it... When he called me in he must has asked at least 3 times if I thought I could handle it. It doesn't matter really no one is better suited, old or young, than those who are called.

I was really humbled when I got my calling and I do feel inadequate. My bishopric continually assures us that the strongest people of the ward need to be with the youth, no matter what age. Ultimately we all got our callings from the Lord, and He knows what is needed for each ward at a given time. I apologize for the way it came across at first...I am really thankful to have this list as a resource and I can tell that we all love our youth and our callings.

I'm okay with the YW calling me by my first name, but I will not put up with irreverance or disrespect. I will call them on it if they're disrupting my lesson, or anyone elses. If nothing else, the embarassment in front of their peers stops it. I've only had to do that 2 or 3 times and never again since. They know that how I treat them depends on how they treat me. (That's an old substitute teacher trick I learned from my Mom, she always tells a class she can be the nicest teacher they've ever had or the meanest teacher...it's up to them.

Now surely you didn't mean that some of us ancients in our mid 30s can't keep up with the girls? :) What a can of worms you've opened! Actually, I'm 36, my 1st counselor was in her 50s (I just lost her to RS :( ), and my second counselor is 30, with advisors age 38 and 42. My new 1st counselor is 25. I told my bishop that I needed fun-loving women, but more spiritually mature than we had had in there before (previous to me, it was always the 22-26 year olds). There's a lot to be said for both ages, but I prefer planning and teaching when the women have been attending the temple for a number of years, have had some parenting experiences and life experiences, and have had other callings in the church so they can relate to the interactions and the parents, too. Younger sisters can be very spiritually mature, and older sisters can be fogeys, and vice versa! And I have to say, even my 50ish counselor never had trouble keeping up at the beach, hikes, sleepovers, etc. The girls always quit long before a woman who's experienced 12 hours of labor!! (just joking, of course). Actually, the times we've had trouble keeping up have been because of our young children. Now I and both of my counselors have one under 2, which can be distracting at activities or classes when you don't have a husband there or they are too young for nursery! But on the other hand, it's good for the girls to see what it's like to be a mother, too. Oh, well. There's where the inspiration comes in. There is no specific pattern for the best YW presidency, is there? Just a love of the gospel and a desire to share it, I guess.

Then your lesson could have three sections: Success in YW requires 1. Being there; 2. A positive, loving attitude; 3. Gospel standards; Within that framework, you could focus on who is responsible for what within the organization. I agree that lack of motivation among the leaders is deadly! Is it just burnout or do they need to replan how they are doing things so that they are more excited about it? Are they excited about upcoming activities? Are they having any positive experiences with their classes? I go through periods like this where I don't see any progress and I get bummed. Then all of the sudden one of the girls will do something wonderfully spiritual or friendly and it's like the sun coming from behind the clouds! Maybe you can help them plan some "no fail" fun activities to bring a good spirit to their classes (pool party, heart attacking someone's house, having Sundae's). Maybe that will help energize, too. Sometimes we get caught up in the calling and forget the real purpose: the difference we make in the lives of the girls. Are there any success stories you can share? Young adults who can bear testimony of the changes in their lives because of YW leaders? Good luck!

In each group you will have one youth to represent each character and an adult leader to read the clues. And we put an eighth chair at each table so that if a youth showed up late we put them at a table and let them read the clues and the adult leader stayed and helped. (They will need help). Make up a set of character name tags for each table. As the kids come in give them name tags and seat them so you will have one "set " of suspects at each table. Copy the clues for each table. Cut the clues apart and put them in corresponding envelopes. All clue #1 (one for each character) in one envelope labeled clue #1. All clue #2 (one for each character) in a second envelope labeled clue #2. And all of clue #3 in a third envelope labeled clue #3. In other words, if you think you will need five tables, you will need to copy and cut up five pages of clue #1, five of clue #2, and five of clue #3. Don't give out the clues until you are instructed to later in the activity. When the adult hands the clues to each character (at the appropriate time) they should not show them to each other. The murder mystery is set around a three course dinner Round 1- salad course or maybe chips and salsa Round 2- main course or mayvbe taco bar Round 3- dessert course Pre assign someone to set the scence and reveal the murderer. They will need to so some preparation to be ready to do this, so assign them ahead of time so they can be prepared. We had our bishop do it. Now you are ready to begin- Have someone read this introduction: You are about to become a murder suspect and so is everyone else involved in this activity. You can prove your innocence only by proving that someone else is guilty. The people at your table must work together to solve the mystery. As the evening progresses, each person will receive an outline of their character and pieces of information that will be known only to them. You must be sure to clearly and accurately reveal all the facts that you know about yourself and the other suspects in each round. You may not lie about the clues you are given. When someone reads a clue that places suspicion on you, then you need to read your clue which will change the subject and raise suspicion on a different character. This activity is divided into three rounds. Round 1- first meal course and clue #1 Round 2- second meal course and clue #2 Round 3- dessert and clue #3 Do not go on th the next round until you are told to do so. (All tables should stay on the same schedule of staring and finishing). At the conclusion of the three rounds, you should decide as a table who you believe is the murderer. The solution will be revealed after the final round. Remember, you are out to catch a murderer. Be inquisitive! Be aggresive! Be suspicious! Now, set the scene: The scene is the home of Judge Jones, a former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. On this Tuesday evening (or whatever evening you are meeting) Judge Jones was found murdered. He had multiple stab wounds and was found lying in a pool of blood. There are six suspects, all with a motive for the murder. They are: (Have the youth stand as their characters are called) Mr. Enn-- He has always been a fine, uptstanding member of the community Judge Black--A very high ranking, but corrupt judge. He hates Mr Enn and would like to see him behind bars, but he fears a public outcry. Sean Jones, J.D.-- He is the brother of the murder victim, Chief Judge Justice Jones. He is also a powerful attornery. Mr. Mult-- An average citizen who is a friend of Mr Enn. Mr. Fife- Works for Chief Justive Jones (the dead man) and Judge Black. Maid-- Works for Chief Justice Jones (the dead man) Give the adult leader at each table the envelope labeled clue #1 Tell them to pass them out to the appropriate character. Have them choose one character to go first reading their clue. Their clue will accuse another character. Then that character can read their clue to try to cast suspicion at a different character. Have them continue in this manner until each character has read their clue #1 Each table will play the game at the same time, but separately. As soon as each table is finished you can serve your first course of food. After all the tables are finished eating------- Give the adult leaders at the tables the clue envelope #2. Have them read them just like the last clue. As they finish, serve course #2, After all of the tables are finished eating------- Give the adult leaders at each table clue envelope #3. Have them rad them just like the last 2 clues. As they finish, serve dessert. While they are eating their dessert have each table decide who they think is the murderer. Have them choose one person as a spokesman and have them stand and tell who they think did it and why. Now, have the bishop (or whoever you choose) reveal the murderer. Clue pages: Clue #1 for Mr Fife: I know that Mr. Mult knows that there is a great deal of animosity between Mr Enn and Judge Black. I know Mr Mult is a great friend of Mr Enn and would do anything to help him. Clue #! for the Maid: I know that the judge's brother, Sean, was always jealous of Judge Jones posistion as Chief Justice. He always wanted the posisiton for himself. Clue #1 for Mr Enn: I have discovered that Judg Black is part of a secret group who are striving to put themselves in power. I know he has been covering up crimes for his friends. Clue #1 for Sean Jones: I know my brother was always very hard on his emplyees and that his maid was fed up with the poor treatment she was receiving. She feared Judge Jones and was tired of his abuse. Clue #1 for Mr. Mult I know there are a lot of bad feelings between Mr Enn and Judge Black. Judge Black is angry that Mr Enn is in the process of exposing him and his corrupt group of friends. I believe Judge Black would do anything to get revenge. Clue #1 for Judge Black: Mr. Fife has been a trusted employee of myself and Chief Justice Jones. Mr Fife has access to the homes and offices of us both. Clue #2 for Mr. Fife I saw the maid running out of the house screaming "the judge has been murderered!", as I was approaching the house. Clue #2 for the Maid I found the body lying in a pool of blood. Clue #2 for Sean Jones Tuesday evening I issued a press release announcing that my brother, the Chief Justice, has been murdered. Clue #2 for Mr Mult I found Mr. Fife lying unconcious next to the judge's dead body when I entered Judge Jone's home. I had him arrested and charged with murder. Clue #2 for Judge Black Tuesday afternoon I heard Mr Enn say that the Chief Justice had been murdered. I sent Mr Fife to see if it's true. Clue #2 For Mr Enn At the press release you saw blood splattered on Sean Jones clothing Clue #3 for Mr. Fife I believe that the maid is the murderer. I saw her running out of the Chief Justice's house as I was approaching it. I know she hated her boss. I believe she ran out scraming that the judge had been murdered in order to throw suspicion from herself. Clue #3 for the Maid I heard Judge Jones confront Judge Black about his involvement in a group conspiring to oust him from his office. I know Judge Black is corrupt and wants to be more powerful than he is. I believe Judge Black killed Judge Jones so that he could have his seat and also to prevent Judge Jones from exposing and punishing Judge Black and his group. (Try to convince everyone that Judge Black is the murderer!) Clue #3 for Mr Enn I knew how badly the judge's brother, Sean, envied his posistion as Chief Justice. I know he always wanted the posistion for himself. I believe he killed him so that he could have posisiton and power for himself, thus fulfilling his life long dream. I believe the blood you saw on his clothing was his brother's blood. (Try to convince everyone that Sean Jones is the murderer!) Clue #3 for Sean Jones I heard Mr Enn say that Judge Jones was dead before the press release has been issued. I believe the only way that he could have known that he was dead prior to its being made public in the press release was if he was involved the the murder himself. I believe Mr Enn hires Mr Mult to kill Judge Jones and since Mr Mult was the "hit man" I believe Mr Mult should be charged with murder! Clue #3 for Mr Mult I found Mr Fife lying unconcious next to Judge Jones corpse. I believe this proves that he killed him. Why else would he be there? (Strive to convince everyone that Mr Fife is the murderer.) Clue #3 for Judge Black I heard Mr Enn say that Judge Jones was dead before the press release had been issued. I believe that the only way that he could have known that he was dead prior to the press release was if he was involved in the murder himself. The problem is, he was with me at the time of the murder, so I know he couldn't have actually stabbed him. I figure he hired someone else to commit the actual murder, but because it was all his idea I believe that Mr Enn should be charged with the crime of murder! THIS PAGE IS TO BE SEEN ONLY BY THE PERSON ORGANIZING THE MYSTERY AND THE PERSON CHOSEN TO REVEAL THE MURDERER. This murder mystery is taken from the Book of Mormon. But none of the participants will realize that. Study Helaman 8 and 9. At the conclusion of the muder mystery dinner, use your scriptures and relate the story in Helaman to solve this murder.

I just remembered a fun one the Stake I grew up in did. It was held on a Saturday in September, and called "A Day of Impact" I think it started as a church wide program, but haven't seen anyone mention it, so maybe it isn't anymore. Each ward or branch picked a service project out in the community, (Some were painting fire hydrants, cleaning gravestones/cemetaries, repainting a historic church, repairing/cleaning parks and playgrounds, building steps into a nature trail, painting bus benches, etc....) The only requirements were it had to be until about 3pm and it had to make a visible difference. We wanted people to notice youth were making a positive impact on our communitites. Then after we all met at a park for swimming, BBQ, games, and relaxing. No cleaning up allowed!! Also, a month or so later we would have a Stake fireside where slides and videos were taken from the Day of Impact and shown, testimonies would be shared, and results from the communities shared also. They had coverage on local radio, TV, and newspapers. This was a great way to serve, have fun, and unify the youth. We had a few groans to begin with, but it was great. Just thought I would share Jamie in Texas _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

In each group you will= have one youth to represent each character and an adult leader to read the clu= es. And we put an eighth chair at each table so that if a youth showed up lat= e we put them at a table and let them read the clues and the adult leader stay= ed and helped. (They will need help). Make up a set of character name tags for each table. As the kids come in = give them name tags and seat them so you will have one "set " of suspects at e= ach table. Copy the clues for each table. Cut the clues apart and put them in corresponding envelopes. All clue #1 (one for each character) in one enve= lope labeled clue #1. All clue #2 (one for each character) in a second envelop= e labeled clue #2. And all of clue #3 in a third envelope labeled clue #3. = In other words, if you think you will need five tables, you will need to cop= y and cut up five pages of clue #1, five of clue #2, and five of clue #3. Don't= give out the clues until you are instructed to later in the activity. When the= adult hands the clues to each character (at the appropriate time) they should not show them to each other. The murder mystery is set around a three course dinner Round 1- salad course or maybe chips and salsa Round 2- main course or maybe taco bar Round 3- dessert course Pre assign someone to set the scene and reveal the murderer. They will ne= ed to so some preparation to be ready to do this, so assign them ahead of time = so they can be prepared. We had our bishop do it. Now you are ready to begin- Have someone read this introduction: You are about to become a murder suspect and so is everyone else involved= in this activity. You can prove your innocence only by proving that someone = else is guilty. The people at your table must work together to solve the myste= ry. As the evening progresses, each person will receive an outline of their char= acter and pieces of information that will be known only to them. You must be su= re to clearly and accurately reveal all the facts that you know about yourself = and the other suspects in each round. You may not lie about the clues you are given. When someone reads a clue that places suspicion on you, then you n= eed to read your clue which will change the subject and raise suspicion on a dif= ferent character. This activity is divided into three rounds. Round 1- first meal course and clue #1 Round 2- second meal course and clue #2 Round 3- dessert and clue #3 Do not go on to the next round until you are told to do so. (All tables s= hould stay on the same schedule of staring and finishing). At the conclusion of= the three rounds, you should decide as a table who you believe is the murdere= r. The solution will be revealed after the final round. Remember, you are out to= catch a murderer. Be inquisitive! Be aggressive! Be suspicious! Now, set the scene: The scene is the home of Judge Jones, a former Chief Justice of the Supre= me Court. On this Tuesday evening (or whatever evening you are meeting) Judg= e Jones was found murdered. He had multiple stab wounds and was found lying= in a pool of blood. There are six suspects, all with a motive for the murder. = They are: (Have the youth stand as their characters are called) Mr. Enn-- He has always been a fine, uptstanding member of the community Judge Black--A very high ranking, but corrupt judge. He hates Mr Enn and = would like to see him behind bars, but he fears a public outcry. Sean Jones, J.D.-- He is the brother of the murder victim, Chief Judge Ju= stice Jones. He is also a powerful attornery. Mr. Mult-- An average citizen who is a friend of Mr Enn. Mr. Fife- Works for Chief Justive Jones (the dead man) and Judge Black. Maid-- Works for Chief Justice Jones (the dead man) Give the adult leader at each table the envelope labeled clue #1 Tell the= m to pass them out to the appropriate character. Have them choose one characte= r to go first reading their clue. Their clue will accuse another character. Th= en that character can read their clue to try to cast suspicion at a differen= t character. Have them continue in this manner until each character has rea= d their clue #1 Each table will play the game at the same time, but separately. As soon as each table is finished you can serve your first course of food. After all the tables are finished eating------- Give the adult leaders at the tables the clue envelope #2. Have them read= them just like the last clue. As they finish, serve course #2, After all of the tables are finished eating------- Give the adult leaders at each table clue envelope #3. Have them read the= m just like the last 2 clues. As they finish, serve dessert. While they are eating their dessert have each table decide who they think= is the murderer. Have them choose one person as a spokesman and have them st= and and tell who they think did it and why. Now, have the bishop (or whoever you choose) reveal the murderer. Clue pages: Clue #1 for Mr. Fife: I know that Mr. Mult knows that there is a great deal of animosity betwee= n Mr. Enn and Judge Black. I know Mr. Mult is a great friend of Mr. Enn and wou= ld do anything to help him. Clue #! for the Maid: I know that the judge's brother, Sean, was always jealous of Judge Jones position as Chief Justice. He always wanted the position for himself. Clue #1 for Mr. Enn: I have discovered that Judge Black is part of a secret group who are stri= ving to put themselves in power. I know he has been covering up crimes for his friends. Clue #1 for Sean Jones: I know my brother was always very hard on his employees and that his maid= was fed up with the poor treatment she was receiving. She feared Judge Jones = and was tired of his abuse. Clue #1 for Mr. Mult I know there are a lot of bad feelings between Mr. Enn and Judge Black. J= udge Black is angry that Mr. Enn is in the process of exposing him and his cor= rupt group of friends. I believe Judge Black would do anything to get revenge. Clue #1 for Judge Black: Mr. Fife has been a trusted employee of myself and Chief Justice Jones. M= r. Fife has access to the homes and offices of us both. ----- Clue #2 for Mr. Fife I saw the maid running out of the house screaming "the judge has been murdered!", as I was approaching the house. Clue #2 for the Maid I found the body lying in a pool of blood. Clue #2 for Sean Jones Tuesday evening I issued a press release announcing that my brother, the = Chief Justice, has been murdered. Clue #2 for Mr. Mult I found Mr. Fife lying unconscious next to the judge's dead body when I e= ntered Judge Jones=92 home. I had him arrested and charged with murder. Clue #2 for Judge Black Tuesday afternoon I heard Mr. Enn say that the Chief Justice had been mur= dered. I sent Mr. Fife to see if it's true. Clue #2 for Mr. Enn At the press release you saw blood splattered on Sean Jones clothing. ----- Clue #3 for Mr. Fife I believe that the maid is the murderer. I saw her running out of the Chi= ef Justice's house as I was approaching it. I know she hated her boss. I bel= ieve she ran out screaming that the judge had been murdered in order to throw suspicion from herself. Clue #3 for the Maid I heard Judge Jones confront Judge Black about his involvement in a group conspiring to oust him from his office. I know Judge Black is corrupt and= wants to be more powerful than he is. I believe Judge Black killed Judge Jones = so that he could have his seat and also to prevent Judge Jones from exposing= and punishing Judge Black and his group. (Try to convince everyone that Judge= Black is the murderer!) Clue #3 for Mr. Enn I knew how badly the judge's brother, Sean, envied his position as Chief Justice. I know he always wanted the position for himself. I believe he k= illed him so that he could have position and power for himself, thus fulfilling his life long dream. I believe the blood you saw on his clothi= ng was his brother's blood. (Try to convince everyone that Sean Jones is the murderer!) Clue #3 for Sean Jones I heard Mr. Enn say that Judge Jones was dead before the press release ha= s been issued. I believe the only way that he could have known that he was dead = prior to its being made public in the press release was if he was involved the murder himself. I believe Mr. Enn hires Mr. Mult to kill Judge Jones and = since Mr. Mult was the "hit man" I believe Mr. Mult should be charged with murd= er! Clue #3 for Mr. Mult I found Mr. Fife lying unconscious next to Judge Jones corpse. I believe = this proves that he killed him. Why else would he be there? (Strive to convinc= e everyone that Mr. Fife is the murderer.) Clue #3 for Judge Black I heard Mr. Enn say that Judge Jones was dead before the press release ha= d been issued. I believe that the only way that he could have known that he was = dead prior to the press release was if he was involved in the murder himself. = The problem is, he was with me at the time of the murder, so I know he couldn= 't have actually stabbed him. I figure he hired someone else to commit the a= ctual murder, but because it was all his idea I believe that Mr. Enn should be charged with the crime of murder! ----- THIS PAGE IS TO BE SEEN ONLY BY THE PERSON ORGANIZING THE MYSTERY AND THE PERSON CHOSEN TO REVEAL THE MURDERER. This murder mystery is taken from the Book of Mormon. But none of the participants will realize that. Study Helaman 8 and 9. At the conclusion = of the muder mystery dinner, use your scriptures and relate the story in Helaman= to solve this murder. Mr Enn is Nephi (Helaman 8 and 9) Judge Black is all the other judges (Helaman 9:13) Sean Jones, JD, is the murderer, Seantum (Helaman 9:26) Mr Mult is the multitude (Helaman 9:19) Mr Fife is the 5 men who went and saw the dead man (Helaman 9:1-6) The Maid is the servants who ran (Helaman 9:6) Christiane Hawkshaw wrote: > Recently I read a script for a Murder Mystery game on the Net but can't > find it now.

What do the colors of the Flag mean? Red is a symbol of Bravery, White is a symbol of Purity, and Blue is a symbol of Love and Devotion. From the book "Our Flag" published in 1989 by the House of Representatives... "On July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress passed a resolution authorizing a committee to devise a seal for the United States of America. This mission, designed to reflect the Founding Fathers' beliefs, values, and sovereignty of the new Nation, did not become a reality until June 20, 1782. In heraldic devices, such as seals, each element has a specific meaning. Even colors have specific meanings. The colors red, white, and blue did not have meanings for The Stars and Stripes when it was adopted in 1777. Also this from a book about the flag published in 1977 by the House of Representatives... "The star is a symbol of the heavens and the divine goal to which man has aspired from time immemorial; the stripe is symbolic of the rays of light emanating from the sun." Flag Folding Ceremony The flag folding ceremony described by the Uniformed Services is a dramatic and uplifting way to honor the flag on special days, like Memorial Day or Veterans Day, and is sometimes used at retirement ceremonies. Here is a typical sequence of the reading: (Begin reading as Honor Guard or Flag Detail is coming forward). The flag folding ceremony represents the same religious principles on which our country was originally founded. The portion of the flag denoting honor is the canton of blue containing the stars representing the states our veterans served in uniform. The canton field of blue dresses from left to right and is inverted when draped as a pall on a casket of a veteran who has served our country in uniform. In the Armed Forces of the United States, at the ceremony of retreat the flag is lowered, folded in a triangle fold and kept under watch throughout the night as a tribute to our nation's honored dead. The next morning it is brought out and, at the ceremony of reveille, run aloft as a symbol of our belief in the resurrection of the body. (Wait for the Honor Guard or Flag Detail to unravel and fold the flag into a quarter fold--resume reading when Honor Guard is standing ready.) The first fold of our flag is a symbol of life. The second fold is a symbol of our belief in the eternal life. The third fold is made in honor and remembrance of the veteran departing our ranks who gave a portion of life for the defense of our country to attain a peace throughout the world. The fourth fold represents our weaker nature, for as American citizens trusting in God, it is to Him we turn in times of peace as well as in times of war for His divine guidance. The fifth fold is a tribute to our country, for in the words of Stephen Decatur, "Our country, in dealing with other countries, may she always be right; but it is still our country, right or wrong." The sixth fold is for where our hearts lie. It is with our heart that we pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. The seventh fold is a tribute to our Armed Forces, for it is through the Armed Forces that we protect our country and our flag against all her enemies, whether they be found within or without the boundaries of our republic. The eighth fold is a tribute to the one who entered in to the valley of the shadow of death, that we might see the light of day, and to honor mother, for whom it flies on mother's day. The ninth fold is a tribute to womanhood; for it has been through their faith, love, loyalty and devotion that the character of the men and women who have made this country great have been molded. The tenth fold is a tribute to father, for he, too, has given his sons and daughters for the defense of our country since they were first born. The eleventh fold, in the eyes of a Hebrew citizen, represents the lower portion of the seal of King David and King Solomon, and glorifies, in their eyes, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The twelfth fold, in the eyes of a Christian citizen, represents an emblem of eternity and glorifies, in their eyes, God the Father, the Son, and Holy Ghost. When the flag is completely folded, the stars are uppermost, reminding us of our national motto, "In God we Trust." (Wait for the Honor Guard or Flag Detail to inspect the flag--after the inspection, resume reading.) After the flag is completely folded and tucked in, it takes on the appearance of a cocked hat, ever reminding us of the soldiers who served under General George Washington and the sailors and marines who served under Captain John Paul Jones who were followed by their comrades and shipmates in the Armed Forces of the United States, preserving for us the rights, privileges, and freedoms we enjoy today. | The Flag Folding Ceremony above is from the US Air Force Academy | - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

We are going to divide the girls into two groups - the jr. high girls and the high school girls. The jr's and sr's will come with tips about high school to share with the sophomores, and answer any questions they might have. The 8th and 9th graders will do the same with the 7th graders. The two rooms with be decorated in the colors of the two schools. Then we will all meet together. We'll do the Survival Kit thing that someone shared the other day. Then we will give them a pen and a pencil tied together with the saying "O'pen' your heart and be 'lead' by the spirit. Then we will have pizza and pop. I hope it will be fun and beneficial. If anyone has the ending to the Waterslide story I sure could use it. I also need more info about the Personal Progress pillowcases. Thanks a million!

Date: 17 Aug 1998 15:18:24 -0700 From Encarta: Flag The essential design of the American flag can be traced to a resolution passed by the Continental Congress on June 14, 1777. This resolution stated that the flag should represent the 13 original states with 13 alternating red and white stripes and 13 stars on a blue field. The congress assigned symbolic meanings to the colors: "White signifies Purity and Innocence; Red, Hardiness and Valor; and Blue, Vigilance, Perseverance, and Justice." From 1795 to 1818 additional stars and stripes were added to the flag to represent Vermont and Kentucky. In 1818 the U.S. Congress reduced the number of stripes to 13 and established the policy of adding an additional star for every new state. The design was not standardized until 1912, and many variations of the flag were common during the 19th century. The current flag dates from 1960, when a 50th star was added for Hawaii, the 50th state. -----Original Message----- Help!!! I leave for camp Wednesday morning. I just got back from taking my kids to my mothers for the week, and just found time to look in my book for the lesson I am slated to teach this week --#31 The Law of the Land. It says to find out what the colors and symbols of the flag mean, for the class discussion. I love flags, in fact my clothes and decorating are covered in stars and stripes, but I must have been asleep in school when they talked about what the colors and symbols mean. It never occurred to me that they mean anything! Can anyone help me, or at least tell me where to look? Sorry to sound so stupid!

When I was a youth, I had leaders of all ages. Most were married, a couple were single. One was just out of college, but most were upper 20s to 40s. All that mattered to me was that they cared about each of us and took an interest in what was going on in our lives. I knew they all loved us and were helping us to progress in the gospel. I was just called to be president and I'm 29 but look like I'm 20. My counselors haven't been called yet. When I worked w/the Mia Maids 3 yrs ago, I had a great time w/the girls but I had a many amusing incidents that came up because I look young. For one mutual activity, I was teaching the girls how to do counted cross-stitch and a youth leader from another ward peeked in on our activity thru the door window. Apparently he began to throw a fit asking how could our ward allow all these girls to be in this room w/o any supervision --what kind of youth program do you run! My husband (who was YM prez) happened to walk by and told the man, "See that one w/such and such shirt on, she's my wife and she's their advisor!". This other guy was embarrassed. Thankfully, the youth respected me. In their eyes, I was their advisor and they knew I loved them.

I am sure that all of your names were prayed about and that your Bishops received inspiration as to who would best benefit the needs of the girls. You all have strengths, and weaknesses (dare I say), that is why we call counselors, and advisors, and secretarys. The church is true, this I KNOW. And it does not matter how old we are as it does our ability to serve and be an instrument in the Lords hands. I work on the stake level and I would say our youngest ward president is probably in her 20's and our oldest in her 50's, and it's what those girls need. I know you are all wonderful in your callings. Keep up the Good work as you are on God's errand.

I feel that it is desperately needed, not only for our Young Women, but for their parents as well. I am suprised at the number of parents that do not know the standards for dating and dress. I am going to invite the parents to come. I will divide the girls from their parents for the first half hour to have a very frank discussion with the girls regarding MORALITY! (I know many of the girls would be embarrassed and reluctant to ask questions if their parents were present). BTW...I intend to draft a letter to the parents to inform them of the discussion that we will be having during that time. This letter will go out ahead of time, in case of any concerns. At this time, we will be reviewing the standards with the parents (basically those covered in the "For the Strength of the Youth" Booklet. This will give the parents an opportunity to discuss any questions or concerns that they may be having with their own daughters. Finally, I will bring everyone together for a final message. I have thought of an analogy that I am still trying to put together in my head, so excuse me if it sounds HAZY still. LOL!! I am going to have a beautiful China plate set at a beautiful table setting. I am going to remark about How the china is unique, How it is delicate and special. How it is often only brought out for special people visiting, and how expensive and sometimes rare some pieces are. I am also going to have a plain white paper plate set at another table.. I will discuss how there is nothing real unique about this paper plate, it's like all the others. It is not very sturdy. It is used for one occassion and then tossed away. It's used more frequently than china and therefore is not considered very "special". I am then going to step back over to the china and pick up the plate. I am going to carefully place it into a garbage can and then compare this to our "virtue" and how special it is...How we shouldn't treat it like trash!!! Sorry for the length of this post...I know how busy you all are. Thanks for listening. I would appreciate your feedback!

We started by having the YW give their mothers a invitation that was a flower put together by my first counselor with an invitation attached to it. Then we told the girls that we wanted them to find out things about their mother and the night of the dinner they each got up and read them. We wanted to have them put this with their family history to go with the theme this year. The girls had a hard time starting on this project but once we gave them some idea of questions to ask they did fine. I then put these papers together for each of them with a nice cover, so they would have something nice to save them in. We had a dinner where each of the YW were suppose to bring a favorite dish of their mothers or something from their heritage. We had allot of fun and I'm sure the mothers felt appreciated and loved!

However, I did find out that Somerset is in the Morristown, New Jersey Mission - don't know what ward that is. But the mission office phone number is (973)326-9494. He can call there and tell them that he would like a visit from the missionaries and they will send them! Unless you have his name, address, and phone # and I would happy to call it in.

Three that have had a strong effect was; 1: a play that I will be posting in a few more days (probably to detailed for you for Oct.) 2. our stake Pres conducted an open discussion on the standards of youth. His focus was you want temple marriage and eternal life, but by not following the prophet now, odds are you will not attain that goal. He lead an open discussion on each area of the 'For Strength of Youth'. He was well prepared with statistics, stories, quotes and scriptures for each question. He brought the youth out in their objections to no boy girl interaction before fourteen, no dating and what is a date before 16, no you should not attend the school afternoon dances prior to fourteen. The youth with his leadership drafted their own stake title of liberty. Only a very in tune, loving, prepared leader could do this, but it was great and had a lasting effect on many youth. 3. opening took place, then about a dozen girls (recent newlyweds that most of the girls should know) in full wedding dresses, spotlighted in a slghtly lit room, walked down the aisles, to 'I hope to see the temple'. Two of of the girls spoke about their feelings about temple marriage. A well known older sister spoke about eternal families. A couple special musical numbers and close. The spotlighted brides stood in front the whole time, a very large drawing of the temple in the background. I hope this helps stir some thoughts to make the way for the spirit more open.

One of the things we have tried that has seemed effective, was to do an annual training once a year in an informal atmosphere, one ward at a time. We prayerfully approached each meeting on a more personal basis. We suggested each leader bring their PP and handbook, then we had them follow along in any area covered. this small intimate setting created an atmosphere for interchange not just speaking. It is tough to reach all wards one at a time, but well worth it. Ricki > -----Original Message----- > From: S.

They modeled an outfit of their mom's that they felt represented their mom to them. They were to keep it a secret and enlist the help of their dad in getting the clothing they needed. We had them write up why they choose this particular outfit and what their mom meant to them-keeping everything very positive and loving. We gathered the moms in a room, the girls dressed and waited for their turn to model. As they were modeling, the leaders read what the girl had written. We then took a picture of the mother and daughter at the end of each "reading" which we gave to the moms after they were developed. One thing I would do differently is have the things the girls had written about their moms written up on a nice piece of paper and give to the mom as a favor-(us moms always like to hear the positive things our kids have to say about us and consider anything written a keepsake!) We then served a nice dessert and punch and the moms and daughters had time to visit and laugh together.

Saturday was a tri-stake dance in a neighboring stake - about an hours drive away. Right up until we left to go (about 6:30 pm) I was trying to figure out how many youth were going so there would be adequate transportation. This time we were short and had to sit laps. This bothered me exptremely because of the liability and safety issues however I couldn't call up someone at the last minute and ask them to drive. Parently are willing to help us drive-if they know in advance and can plan for it. THe Wednesday and Sunday before it was announced and the youth were asked to contact their leaders and let them know if they were going of not. Four out of the twelve that went did that. We've had the leaders call the youth and ask if they are going and they ususally are answered "maybe" or "I don't know yet" I love going to these away activities with the youth but the getting them there is killing me. Have any of you had the same problem or how do you handle this type of transporation for activities. I would REALLY appreciate your input. Thanks in advance. Audene in Kannapolis NC

What has worked fairly well for one ward in our stake is that they hold a yearly meeting with the parents and pass out a stake calendar and then the parents sign up to drive/chaperone each month. We hold Super Saturday activities on a monthly basis and so rides are needed every month. Our leaders usually have a feel for how many youth go to the activities and for dances they throw in extra numbers for last minute youth. Good luck!

Anybody that waits till the last minute has to find their own way there. Amy > Sisters, I am at my wits end and am in need of ideas and/or advise. Saturday was a tri-stake dance in a neighboring stake - about an hours drive away. Right up until we left to go (about 6:30 pm) I was trying to figure out how many youth were going so there would be adequate transportation. This time we were short and had to sit laps. This bothered me exptremely because of the liability and safety issues however I couldn't call up someone at the last minute and ask them to drive. Parently are willing to help us drive-if they know in advance and can plan for it. THe Wednesday and Sunday before it was announced and the youth were asked to contact their leaders and let them know if they were going of not. Four out of the twelve that went did that. We've had the leaders call the youth and ask if they are going and they ususally are answered "maybe" or "I don't know yet" I love going to these away activities with the youth but the getting them there is killing me. Have any of you had the same problem or how do you handle this type of transporation for activities. I would REALLY appreciate your input. Thanks in advance. Audene in Kannapolis NC

I thought it might be a good analogy for a lesson on marriage or relationships or something. There's some parts I would change or expound on, but I think it's kind of a cute thing. You could have a display of different shoes, some new and some old. When your married, does love change over time? Think of love as a pair of shoes. In the beginning, everything's brand- squeaky-new. You love the way they smell; your first steps are a bit stiff, yet shiny and exciting. Time passes. The high-gloss quality has dimmed, you've got a few scuffs and scratches, but you feel comfortable and secure -- these are shoes you can count on! More time passes. You hit a crisis point: A heel breaks, a sole wears down--should you repair them or toss them. Perhaps you could even try on a few other pairs for size. Still, no shoes do it for you like these. No shoes fit you the same way. So you do some work on them. You fix them up to be keepers. And, sure, maybe they aren't the dazzling special-company, steppin'out shoes they once were. Maybe they aren't the shoes you'd wear for your big Hokey-Pokey number at Cousin Gloria's wedding reception. Big deal. Hokey-Pokeys may come and go, but these shoes have gone the distance.

She set this goal for us because she is able to recieve her medallion and wants us to get ours with her. I am working really hard to finish mine because I would love to recieve mine when she gets hers and I know the other girls feel the same way. I've found the easiest way to do a Laurel project is to do something you like doing or would like to learn to do, for example some of my projects have been making a scrapbook and doing two sharing times in primary. Another one that I am in the process of getting approved is to teach my younger brothers to play the piano (I got this idea through the list). I would love to do this because I want to teach piano and think that teaching my brothers would be a wonderful learning experience for me as well as them. As far as leaders helping out with PP. When i was a beehive and a mia maid we held regular personal progress nights. On these nights we could pass of goals we had done on our own and our leaders had the resources for us to work on others. When I was a mia maid we would sometimes have each girl pick a goal they wanted to work on and base an activity around it so we could all pass it off. We did probably about half of our pp this way ( group nights) and I think it really motivated us to do the rest of it ourselves.

Date: 18 Aug 1998 23:06:10 EDT Beth, I taught a lesson in RS once about contention. I pulled this from a talk by Jack Marshall ... my all time favorite youth speaker! He was at our youth conference along with Vicky Panky and John Bytheway! Maybe this will help in your lesson... Pam Contention is such a big thing.... Like Goliath in Samuel..... No matter how many days Goliath challenged them, he was not going away until he was dealt with. Like David reaching into the brook to gather five smooth stones which to conquer Goliath.... Today I am going to focus on 5 scriptural tools which to help defeat the Goliath's of contention which arise in our homes. 1 Nephi 5 Lehi sent the boys to get the brass plates Mom loses it in the wilderness. Classic argument we all fight the same way. If you want to have a good blow out follow this pattern Lehi will teach us how to break the pattern of contention. Wilderness is a dangerous place... people get killed out there The Lord commanded them not to cook their meat to eat it raw... Hugh Nibley wrote that it was probably because of the Bedouin tribes and the smell would attract them Sariah knows her boys are out in this environment They are fleeing and when can read in chapters 1 and 2 that they sought Lehis life 1 Nephi 3 vs. 2 1 step to an argument I have an issue against you... Thou art a visionary man. Something tickith me off I have something against you something is really bothering me.. . This is good and how we get issue resolved 2 step to itemize those things that bothers us. to list the things we are suffering from because of there insensitivity Notice there are three of them. Thou art a visionary man Led us forth from our lands of inheritance Because of you we are broke My sons are no more My boys are dead... That really ticks me off when you kill the boys that really bothers me when you kill the boys and we perish in the wilderness. Were going to die out here. To list issues you have against someone is perfectly fine.. that is how we resolve our issues. Now if you want to have a classic argument go to step # 3 Step #3 is not in the scriptures what is it.. If someone says I have an issues against you and these are the items if you want to have a really big argument what is the next step. Volley of harsh words Because of your insensitivity I have suffered these things Notice what Lehi does to short circuit the emotion vs.3 What does he do to take the emotion right out of the argument?? Validates her.. Hears her hurt and concern How many times in the home have you felt you don't understand me you dont hear me you are listening to me?? Sariah was incorrect in her perception and Lehi corrects her. Yes I am a visionary man, but let me tell you what the Lord has shown me. You know that in the Book f Mormon you will never again find another instance when Sariah murmurs against her husband.. She felt heard ,, Many time the volley of harsh words are just defensiveness. Have you ever found that like Lehi listening and validating someone's feelings even if the are incorrect in there perception to take the emotion out of the argument??? James 1 Vs 19 SELF CONTROL Swift to hear Slow to wrath Slow to speak This one is hard for a lot of us Shark story Hone in helpless victim Strike strike strike Feeding frenzy In our society, Little difference strike till no self love or self esteem Can happen in the home Tragic and happens in this harsh volley of words In Mosiah 18 Vs 21 Alma gave us a key to avoiding contention how do you promote love and unity in your home?? ephesians 4 vs. 29 ( Jer 9 vs. 8) Communication Low blows and cut downs... Think of the best example of when Our Heavenly father introduces his son Clear and take care of the problem Clear in our communication... Sometimes we assume that people understand us when we are not very clear Lady from Hong Kong - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

Honesty Date: 18 Aug 1998 23:32:36 EDT Honesty. Here are a few things you can bring up.. One of the great lies of the century.. Above Auschwitz above the barb wire.. The sign "WORK SHALL SET YOU FREE" Also the typewriter Ever wondered why the letter sequence? TO understand the sequence requires you to know about Christopher Scholes and his mathematician school teacher brother in law.. In 1873 Scholes was determined to introduce the first commercially viable typewriter.. This would be the machine that would be fit for mass production. Unfortunately the machine did not work. When you typed on it with any speed the keys stuck. When he turned to his brother in law for help, he came up with the idea of separating the keys so that the most common letter combinations would be as far away on the keyboard as possible. When the tested it the solution fixed the sticking because it gave the keys time to go back down. They then introduced the keyboard as scientifically proven to be the fastest layout possible. Since that time it has been proven that other are faster but know the lie has been perpetuated and will probably never change. - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

Don't know if it would work for you at the end of October or not, but here goes: We had a cruise ship theme and decided that we would "sail the world in seven days" with Captain Norm and his little skipper Gege (my mom and dad). Each family was given the assignment to prepare a meal and some type of activity (this was for the evening time only) that had to do with a certain "port" we would cruise to. My sister's family came in from Saudi Arabia, and so they put on our "Middle Eastern Mania" night where we ate tabouli and pitas and learned the Saudi "hair dance" (a real scream)! My family did "Caribbean Nights" which included Jamaican Jerk chicken and a hunt for buried treasure on the beach with Blackbeard Sam (my husband who grew up in the Caribbean). We held it in So. California, at the beach (Oceanside) because that's were we grew up and because we just seem to have our most memorable times there. The days were left unstructured, leaving lots of time to relax and have fun on the beach with the cousins. Our favorite "Port" by far, was the day we stopped off in "heaven" (the San Diego Temple) and did the temple work for many of my father's ancestry, with the cousins doing the baptisms and the adults finishing up. All in all, it was a ton of fun and we can't wait for the next one. Hope this has helped to start your creative ideas flowing! Kim in Co (P>S> several weeks before the reunion, I made up a cruise brochure and mailed it to each family, highlighting the stops on our "cruise" so that families could hang this on their refrigerators and get excited! - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

Date: 19 Aug 1998 01:59:49 EDT I just stumbled on his web site a few weeks ago, thru Deseret Book, http://www.deseretbook.com/~DBS.cxi?w=Bytheway&sb=Go (this isn't the site that you could listen to excerpts of the tapes, can't find it right now) I don't have the one "What are you carrying in your Backpack". I have "What I Wish I Knew in High School" and have listened to others of his. Of the ones I have heard, the themes are very similar thru all his talks and tapes (went to the Broadcast of his talk tonight, also). My problem is I am driving when I listen so I am not writing notes and my mental notes, well, they aren't what they used to be... Anyway, he talks about how being popular isn't what's important, but, being respected and respecting others is. Tonight's talk was mostly on chastity- also, a big theme in his tapes. He uses lots of excellent quotes from prophets and Book of Mormon scriptures/stories and relates it to here and now. Does anyone else have more input about the "Backpack" tape?

It is his or her responsibility to gather the rides for the youth. We give them the dates of the Stake Activities in advance, since most fall on same weekend of each month. They pass the paper around in R.S., and Primary. Encouraging all parents to sign up at least once, and let us know how may seats are available in their cars. We always count on the highest number of youth that can go. They must sign up a week before the activity. We realize that many work or have other commitments, but if there is a remote chance they can go we ask them to sign up. We then plan our rides accordingly. We meet at the church, at a designated time. Count heads, sort out, who is riding where. The last two activities we have sent extra rides home. We always have one priesthood leader drive and try to have someone from either the YM, or YW presidency drive. This really takes the pressure of the Presidency, we have enough to worry about. We do assist the parent doing this by passing the sheet and encouraging the youth.

It has been the "tradition" in our ward that the YW president organizes and directs rides to all the stake events. When I was put into this calling it was "expected" that I drive to every activity and serve as a chaperone. At that time I didn't have any children in YM or YW and I felt that this was an expectation that I shouldn't have to fulfill. So, like others on this list, I held a meeting with all parents in January with a stake calendar. Each of them gets a sheet with all the dates of activities and spaces for them to sign up. The YW and YM presidencies meet prior to this and sign up (we get first priority and are generous in our signups). Then we go around the room and have parents sign up. I tell them they only need to drive twice a year, it is a good opportunity for them to observe what their children do at these activities and it is a good opportunity to get to know their kids better. THEN, I make it clear to the parents and the kids that if they are going to attend an event they MUST let me know the Thursday before the activity (I prefer to know on the Sunday before, but they don't always know their schedules). If they don't, I don't guarantee them a ride. I still get last minute calls and if we have room, we take them. If not, they are on their own. I have a few parents who conveniently aren't available to drive, and I make it a point to call them and ask them to help if they haven't driven in awhile. I refuse to spend all day Saturday on the phone tracking down kids! If they don't contact me I assume they aren't going. =20 Parents ultimately have the responsibility to get their children to activities. In my opinion, when distance is a factor, we should not always be the ones to take the kids. Some parents like to put pressure on you, the YW president, to be a driver because they feel it is part of your calling (it isn't). If this is a problem, enlist the help of your bishop.= =20 Louise Hammer =20 At 04:46 PM 8/18/98 -0500, you wrote: > Transportation is absolutely my BIGGEST headache of all time. I have finally decided that except for camp (it took me FOREVER to get rides lined up for camp-I just got it all figured out last night and we leave tomorrow AM!) they are on their own. I will keep lists of who wants to go and they have to ask their parents themselves and I will help call around to other parents but NO MORE. It is over two hours to our stake center, over 3 to camp, and I have one car, which my husband usually needs for work. If someone can't talk their parents into driving, they'll just have to miss it. Otherwise I would spend my whole entire life on the phone trying to arrange rides. =DC The camp leaders here had a planning meeting in June, an= d my camp director, myself, and my youth camp leaders were supposed to attend. I stood on my head to arrange child care, some way for my husband to get around, and I drove up myself. Turns out we were the only ward who all showed up! Nothing really got done, and later the YCL leader wanted the YCL's to come back up for two meetings. None of the parents wanted or could drive and they just didn't get to go. I had my doubts we were all actually going to get to camp! Ugh!

I am the Beehive Counselor for our ward here on Long Island, New York. We are having significant problems with the dress standards of our Young Women. The most prevelant problem is very short skirts. But the girls are also wearing very tight shirts, tank tops, sheer shirts, etc. We have a recent convert (6 months) that is most inappropriate (I'm sure she just has no idea) -- but the other girls don't set a good example. So I have two main questions 1) Where can I find some statements on appropriate dress? I already have the "For The Strength of Youth" pamplet -- which discusses too-tight clothing and low cut shirts. I also noticed that the lesson "Following the Lord's Standards (this isn't the title -- but the jist) has a case study involving a too-short dress. I also have Brigham Young's Quote found in the Leader's Manual about being reserved in dress. 2) What other suggestions do any of you have? What are some ways to present this information without offending anyone, yet still helping them to see just how important it is (my husband, the YM president, has mentioned that the girl's dress habits are quite a problem to the guys).

Perhaps a panel of YM to answer various questions from the YW & then you be sure the clothing question is asked. We had a fireside given by a newlywed couple recently. The brother told the YM that they should approach the girl in inappropriate dress & kindly tell her "I think you are a wonderful young woman, but the clothes you are wearing don't make me think you are a nice girl." Pretty blunt, but the girls need to understand what their clothing can inspire in the thoughts of YM & men, in general. We have the same problem in our Ward. I was the clothing policeman for awhile, but that was driving a wedge between me & the girls. We are thinking of a Fireside where we discuss the standards with the girls & their parents. If we can get the ones whose parents understand to set the example, the girls whose parents don't know or care will follow. (The parents usually pay for the clothes, so I really don't understand some of these clothes!!!)

There were only 4 girls So it worked out great... 1 leader and 2 girls to a room.. Accommodations were a challenge. We felt we must have a leader in the room, but couldn't be 1 leader and 1 girl... Only 5 or 6(can't remember) allowed to a room...That puts 2 on cots. Rooms at the Nauvoo Family Inn were $64/night. (regardless if you stayed in the old motel ...a DUMP... or the new one down the street REEEEAAAAALLLL NICE!) It was a rip at the old and would be a deal at the new. The girls pitched in on the cost... We split it evenly. There is a place on the Internet under "Nauvoo" that is a motel/inn that has one floor of women and the men are on the 3rd floor. The floors are like a big dorm and set up with bunkbeds. I think that they could accommodate 25 on each floor... (but with our small group, it'd mean we were all in the same room with "strangers" and the girls weren't keen on that idea. ) You all share bathroom too. It was $17/night per person... seems to me that may include food, but I'm not remembering well today. It was shot down quick by my girls. Since they paid only $21/night in a private hotel room, they opted for that. The Bishop really wanted me to take a priesthood holder with us. That would complicate the accommodations as well as the transportation issue... And a man would need to take off work... So, after I got the Bishop's approval, I took my advisor over laurels (who's an EMT) and had arranged to contact the priesthood in the area we were passing in if we had "problems" and needed a blessing etc. Since we were to tour Nauvoo, we knew we'd be "surrounded" by the priesthood with all the senior men on missions there. (72 couples on missions there!) We went in July (week of July 4th)... It was HOT to say the least (and I'm sure it was much hotter the following month) We had wanted to go for the City of Joseph Pageant and the dates didn't work for the girls' work schedules.... If I were to do it again just to TOUR, I'd go the very first week I could after school was out. But in July, there were no "crowds" either! I only have 12 young women, so it wouldn't have been TOO tough to take them all. I broke it down to get more "personal" and one on one with them. I KNOW my Laurels well now. It's a 5 hour drive to Nauvoo from here and we talked about alot of things... silly stuff to "crummy" Sunday School Teachers complaints. It takes time to "warm up", but when it happens..it's priceless. I'm not sure that sort of thing can happen when "the whole gang is here". I'm going to take the Laurels on special outings each year... a sort of "privilege". A word of warning... As you know, these girls have their own ideas of "fun" things to do. I chose Nauvoo because it WAS 5 hours away... Lots of talk time.. They'd been there before, and had "favorite things" they wanted to see and do again. (mostly shopping and picking up "things"...like bricks, rings from the smithy, ride in the horsedrawn cart, FUDGESHOP for the obvious, newspaper from the printer, etc etc) Anyway, my counselor LOVES Nauvoo for all the right reasons, but from a "spiritually mature" attitude. She tried to "steer" the girls to see certain things. And was "disappointed" when they really showed no interest or worse yet, showed boredom with these wonderful historical "situations". I finally pulled her aside and said that the 3 days we had planned to be here were THEIRS. To spend as they wanted. If they don't want to go through an actual guided tour of the RLDS sites, but really want to go see the graves of Joseph and Hyrum... So be it. (And you CAN do that... just let them know you just want to go to the graveyard...It's WORTH it) The few actual "tours" we did were chosen by the girls and they were touched by them. We did get tickets for the two nightly productions (senior missionaries and young missionaries) ... Don't know if they were thrilled, but a few wiped tears... To make this novel come to an end.... I gave my Laurel Pres. the Nauvoo Visitor's Map and they plotted our course. I made NO decisions... and they had a BLAST! They fed themselves... so there were no budget funds used. (we have no budget funds... :-).... ) And lastly, did we feel the Spirit??? You betcha!

John Bytheway really addressed it nicely in his talk last night as part of Education Week-see if your stake taped it. One thing we as YW leaders are doing is making it a point to compliment the girls when they are wearing something modest and if it happens when they are in a group-even better. We talk about it a lot-trying to not make anyone feel bad, but being pretty blunt about what is considered modest and what isn't. Our YM have gone up to some of our girls and told them that they are wearing inappropriate clothing. Our bishop has also addressed it in a fireside for both parents and youth. You can't really ever let up-we have a girl that was wearing short skirts and since she has turned 14 she has finally gotten the message and just told me that she has gotten rid of her short skirts and wants to dress modestly-so some do get the message. cathie -----Original Message----- >Hello all, > >I am new to this list -- signing up in hopes of help with a problem.

As a bishop, I have become aware that there are people out there who know how to use the church and its members to their advantage. The internet is one of the vehicles they use. Be very careful and never give out your address, etc. If someone claims to have a need or a cause that they need help with Let your bishop know. He can check to see if it is legitimate. Many of these people prey on members across the world. This is not to say that most are fine. I just want us to be careful.

We had our Book of Mormon readathon. We wanted to do an all-nighter but didn't have the building available to do it so we just did our regular activity night. Instead of reading the whole BOM we concentrated on Third Nephi and divided it into 3 parts. We kept it a secret from the youth and asked them to come in casual nice dress and bring their scriptures. They were curious and most showed up. They kept trying to pump us all week for information...but we just told them we would feed them and come ready for a fun activity. We ate dinner and when we announced what we were doing they all slumped down in their chairs and looked very glum...some even defiant. I guaranteed them it would be fun but they were "non-believers". We sat in a circle in our groups and read aloud and passed our mini candy bars at the end of every chapter. Some wouldn't read at first but later did. Then we told them they had to do a presentation of what they just read to teach the other groups. They had to figure out how. We had video cameras which was an option, gave each group a bag of simple props based on what their section included, and some fabric for simple costumes if they wanted to act it out, and some paper to make signs. We told them they could dramatize it, video it, do a melodrama, charades, skits, etc. One thing that helped was we had gone through and written up a brief summary of each section in everyday language telling what was happening that we passed out after reading it from the scriptures. We had more fun and laughed until we cried. Two groups decided to dramatize it on video with costumes and improvised props and staging. One group did a news broadcast with "scenes of the devastation" and old footage of Samuel preaching from the wall with sticks and wads of paper being thrown at him. It was hilarious. At the end we fed them cobbler and ice cream while we watched the productions, and the Bishop finished up. We asked if they had fun and most everyone raised their hands. One girls said "We should do this more often. It was great." Anyway we started at 6:30 and ended at 10:30 including dinner and everything. They will always remember Third Nephi.

Our bishop gave a talk on dress standards at a stake fireside that the kids seemed to enjoy. While I don't usually condone food at church I guess there is always the exception! He had a huge basket with regular size candy bars in it -- all different types. He let the youth choose the candy bar they wanted. Then went on to discuss why they had chosen it --- how the wrappers on the candy bars were carefully designed by manufacturers to entice people to buy. Then related to the wrappers they wore -- what messages were they sending to those around them. Just an idea.

Peck" Subject: (lds-yw) Leadership of Young Women Date: 19 Aug 1998 12:56:14 -0700 Jen Jen Jen! Boy are you in trouble, girlfriend! I am almost 40! Okay, gonna say something here that's gonna get A LOT of people angry... In working with Bishops, the Stake Presidency, Stake Council, etc., the track record in our stake has been that the "older" sisters (over 30ish?) that have served in Young Women Presidencies have *tended* (not always) to be more mature in the gospel, more committed, more reliable, etc. It's not that I haven't loved the younger sisters as much, or been there to help them. But for example, the "older" sisters have been the ones to more reliably come to stake and area training meetings, stake activities with their young women (and not just drop them off!), followed through with stake assignments, etc. Stake Presidencies, at least ours, really do notice exactly which leaders of the wards come to things like the General Young Women Broadcast, Stake Conference (including the Leadership Training meeting - so many see this weeked as vacation time), area meetings, etc. etc. The side of this issue that we must all remember is. . . the young women need good examples, strong leadership, those who are willing to train them to be leaders of the future and not just those who will plan a *party* (and do it all themselves) to entertain the girls now, and especially those who are COMMITTED to the gospel. Based on my experience I was really concerned when I called a 23 year old counselor. But she is very mature in the gospel, and committed and reliable. So regardless of our ages, be COMMITTED! Too many of our leaders cut Sacrament Meeting, skip out on stake activities, don't show up to meetings, when they are required to be there! Sadly, in our stake anyway, these have tended to be the *younger* sisters!. The girls notice everything we do and will compare their commitment level to ours. Jen, do these things and YOU will do a fabulous job. Remember that you are not here just to have fun with them now (but don't we all!), but to shape their future as well! Break the sterotype in our stake and be totally committed! You go girl! Love ya and see ya when I get home.

We used plain white fabric, (old sheets work great) each girl got a Hmmmmm 18 - 24 inch peice of fabric. What ever size they wanted their finished project to be. they gathered flowers and leaves out of my garden. Position the flowers and leaves on one side of the fabric, fold the other half over and pound with rubber mallets. The best leaves to use is tomato plant leaves. Good flowers are, pansys, impatients, the best were garaniums. Flat flowers work best, marigolds are nice but you have to pull the petals off and position them in a flower design. My daughter made a pillow out of hers. Remind the girls that these can't be washed and the color will probably fade and change over time. It is lots of fun. Enjoy!

I am a 34 year old YW president. My counselors are 23, and 30. My advisor is 24, and I had to hold a board mtg to basically (tenderly) call them to repentance. I entitiled the lesson, "Service, Sacrifice, Sanctification." I strongly bore witness (I felt my stewardship) that THEY HAD TO COME TO ALL OF THEIR MEETINGS. After all, if we expect the YW to come, shouldn't we expect it of outselves? The result? My 30yr old has risen to the occasion for the most part, even though she begged off coming tonight for it's her wedding anniversary. My 23 yr. old and 24 yr olds, who were born of GOODLY PARENTS continue to be great people, but "fall through" on consistently being there. It is very frustrating. Age DOES play a role.

I believe there are people of all ages who skip meetings, and are not reliable, not just the younger women. When I was in charge of Homemaking our biggest challenge was getting the older women to attend~~ did you know Homemaking is a*required* meeting just as Sunday meetings are (according to our local leaders)? In my experience just as many older women can be immature in the gospel as younger women, and younger women can be very spiritual also. I attend every meeting I can. Too often people of all ages look for reasons to vacation from church. These are not dedicated people, but do not lump all young people in the same category!! It all depends on the individual, not their age!! Can't you see how limiting it is to dismiss those of us who are younger? We have many things to add, and much love to share. I get so tired of this attitude sometimes, just because I am young doesn't mean I don't have things to add. So many times I hear women and men older than I am talking down to me and my peers,implying we are not as committed and can not do as good a job because of our inexperience, and youth. This is sooooo judgemental. I have many ideas and experiences to add, as I am sure you do. I am awakened to the prejudices of all people when I read these kinds of things. I know I have many things to learn, but don't we all? I notice you were very careful to say this wasn't always the case, but too often we are all lumped together based on a few people's poor performances. Stop the age discrimation Ü, and let's just work together using our love for the youth as a guide. I know this letter is flaming a little, it's my latent red coming out I suppose!!!! Ü No mean spirit or contention intended, I just want to make the point this attitude limits everyone, and is downright wrong!!!!!!

It didn't come out initially as I intended it. Probably more than anyone, I know that I am young, young, young. I guess the difference is that I really honestly do try to be committed and call me crazy, but I like going to the training meetings and extra stuff too. I figure I need all the help I can get. And also if nothing else, I will be committed so that the girls will be too. I've been blessed with good examples all my life and it's now my turn (and all of ours) to pass that on to these girls. I do know that age doesn't really matter as long as we are committed to the Gospel--Heavenly Father will bless us with what we lack after that... forgive me for that foot-in-my-mouth comment? jen - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

This "journey" takes six weeks. If you are an advisor, you will want to involve each girl in your class. If not an advisor, then choose two or th= ree YW who will benefit most from your attention. A small booklet was given to each leader. On the first page was a heart w= ith these words written below: "Your role is a sweet one. Few things bring such sweet satisfaction as th= e knowledge that we have a friend who cares. God loves each one of His children -- of that we are absolutely assured. We know it in our hearts. But God needs instruments of His love. He needs those who can carry His love and make it meaningful and personal in the lives of others." Marion D. Hanks Each page in the booklet had a hot air balloon on it. In the 1st balloon,= it said: First week: The Mind and Heart of Love Below it: Moroni 7:48 (written out) then: Never attempt to make this journey alone. You cannot do it without the companionship of the Holy Ghost. So use this week to prepare yourself spiritually for this journey. Strengthen yourself by doing the following: 1. Look inward and evaluate your capacity to love. 2. Read the scriptures daily (esp. book of John) 3. Keep the commandments. 4. Attend church meetings. 5. Pray each day - including the YW in your prayers. Continue these 5 steps throughout the 6 weeks of your journey. Week 2: The Hand of Love (again, in a hot air balloon) "The impact teacher cares with an attitude of pure charity. What miracles she can achieve by giving honest appreciation and an honest sense of self-worth." Vaughn J. Featherstone Write a note to each YW and share your feelings about each one. Tell them how much you appreciate her. If she is less active, express your sincere desi= re to have her participate. Week 3 - The Voice of Love D&C 108:78 (written out) Telephone each YW once during the week and express your love and concern = for her as an individual, or just to say thank you, or I'm sorry, etc. Try to find out more about her, her talents, qualities, interests, etc. Be warm = and sincere and positive. Phone calls to conduct class business do not count. Week 4 - The Deed of Love "I wish to declare without reservation that the ultimate judgment of ever= y man will be on the simplest terms and most certainly on what each has done to bless people in a quiet unassuming way." Robert L. Simpson Do something special for each YW anonymously. Plan your actions carefully and carry them out as secretly as possible. Week 5 - The Beauty of Love 2 Nephi 32:3 Visit each YW in her home and take a small remembrance you have made for her. A pie, a basket, pillow or bookmark - some simple handmade item that has your love for a wrapping. Week 6 - The Victory of Love Galatians 5:22-23 This is the week of celebration. Stop and evaluate the progress you have made in: 1. Personal growth. 2. Awareness of the love you have developed or strengthened for each of the YW and your calling. Express your appreciation to your Heavenly Father for His help in your journey. If a less active girl has begun to attend as a result of your efforts, feel gratitude that you have been an instrument in bringing her back to the fold. If not, take comfort that you wil be blessed for your efforts and the seeds you have sown may yet bring forth fruit in another season. The YW leaders in the wards were very enthusiastic about this - most are trying to do these things anyway, but sometimes it helps just to have som= e sort of plan. Hope this makes sense! This was given to me as a handout on a heart..I do not know who said it sorry. Gloria Seek the Spirit of the Lord This is a spiritual experience in which you are involved. Bright as you a= re, trained as you may be, you are not wise enough to do it alone. Seek the blessings of the Lord and his favor, and you will be blessed with success and happiness, and your work will be crowned with that joy which will mak= e it really fruitful, for God has promised His Spirit and His power to thos= e who seek Him and love Him. -----Original Message----- Sisters, Someone posted a I think a Journey of Love.

We are going to be doing our leadership training in October, and before I saw this, that is the theme we decided to go with as we feel some of the ward leaders have gotten away from the basics. We are having our highcouncil rep is going to be our alex tribec. Anyway, I missed the input of that post. If you all have any ideas you'd be willing to share send them my way.

Nancy Ü This idea was given at a leadership training meeting awhile back - the purpose was to help the ward YW leaders build a relationship of love and trust with the YW in their wards and branches. This "journey" takes six weeks. If you are an advisor, you will want to involve each girl in your class. If not an advisor, then choose two or three YW who will benefit most from your attention. A small booklet was given to each leader. On the first page was a heart with these words written below: "Your role is a sweet one. Few things bring such sweet satisfaction as the knowledge that we have a friend who cares. God loves each one of His children -- of that we are absolutely assured. We know it in our hearts. But God needs instruments of His love. He needs those who can carry His love and make it meaningful and personal in the lives of others." Marion D. Hanks Each page in the booklet had a hot air balloon on it. In the 1st balloon, it said: First week: The Mind and Heart of Love Below it: Moroni 7:48 (written out) then: Never attempt to make this journey alone. You cannot do it without the companionship of the Holy Ghost. So use this week to prepare yourself spiritually for this journey. Strengthen yourself by doing the following: 1. Look inward and evaluate your capacity to love. 2. Read the scriptures daily (esp. book of John) 3. Keep the commandments. 4. Attend church meetings. 5. Pray each day - including the YW in your prayers. Continue these 5 steps throughout the 6 weeks of your journey. Week 2: The Hand of Love (again, in a hot air balloon) "The impact teacher cares with an attitude of pure charity. What miracles she can achieve by giving honest appreciation and an honest sense of self-worth." Vaughn J. Featherstone Write a note to each YW and share your feelings about each one. Tell them how much you appreciate her. If she is less active, express your sincere desire to have her participate. Week 3 - The Voice of Love D&C 108:78 (written out) Telephone each YW once during the week and express your love and concern for her as an individual, or just to say thank you, or I'm sorry, etc. Try to find out more about her, her talents, qualities, interests, etc. Be warm and sincere and positive. Phone calls to conduct class business do not count. Week 4 - The Deed of Love "I wish to declare without reservation that the ultimate judgment of every man will be on the simplest terms and most certainly on what each has done to bless people in a quiet unassuming way." Robert L. Simpson Do something special for each YW anonymously. Plan your actions carefully and carry them out as secretly as possible. Week 5 - The Beauty of Love 2 Nephi 32:3 Visit each YW in her home and take a small remembrance you have made for her. A pie, a basket, pillow or bookmark - some simple handmade item that has your love for a wrapping. Week 6 - The Victory of Love Galatians 5:22-23 This is the week of celebration. Stop and evaluate the progress you have made in: 1. Personal growth. 2. Awareness of the love you have developed or strengthened for each of the YW and your calling. Express your appreciation to your Heavenly Father for His help in your journey. If a less active girl has begun to attend as a result of your efforts, feel gratitude that you have been an instrument in bringing her back to the fold. If not, take comfort that you wil be blessed for your efforts and the seeds you have sown may yet bring forth fruit in another season. The YW leaders in the wards were very enthusiastic about this - most are trying to do these things anyway, but sometimes it helps just to have some sort of plan. Hope this mak
