Speakers in the South for Youth Conf.

[Jenny SmithParticipant]

Even though I grew up in the South, I don’t know of any speakers in the area. Robert Millet, a former dean of Religion at BYU, is from Baton Rouge, Lousiana, but he’s back living in Utah again. He travels quite a bit with a new calling — something about explaining our beliefs to teachers of other faiths — and it’s at least _possible_ you could schedule something with him if he were in the area at a good time for your event. I don’t know how to contact him, but you can probably find him online somewhere. He rocks, if you could get him.

I do know that a friend of mine, JoAnn Hibbert Hamilton, has created a DVD with youth fireside talks that deal with the subject of pornography and listening to the spirit. They are very good, and in lieu of a “live” speaker, might work for you. You can get her DVDs at Envision Entertainment or Deseret Book. JoAnn is a former seminary teacher and now runs the non-profit group Citizens for Families. Her website is http://www.strengthenthefamily.net/.

There may also be other popular LDS speakers making similar DVDs — I just don’t know of any others myself.
