I haven’t seen anything like that, and it’s not from this site — I’d check with the lds-youngwomen group at Yahoo Groups.

This script has been emailed to me, and I’ll post it in a day or two.

You can breath easier :)

I haven’t seen one of these, but if you create one, please share it….

I had a blog entry with several of these back in the day, but mi espouso accidentally deleted the entire blog. ePrimary.dk has a list of a few bonnet patterns here tho:

I know that This Is the Place park in Salt Lake has a trek-type activity they do. I don’t know if it’s available for young kids tho.

Once our ward did a hike through a wooded area, seems like it was that walking trail down by the Jordan River, and had members of the ward spaced at intervals and dressed up like pioneer ancestors give a short talk about their ancestor during the hike. I’ve also heard of similar activities taking place at some of the older cemetaries in the area.

I’d be very, very, VERY wary about hunting for penpals online. Actually, I’d never do it myself. It’s very difficult to prove the identities of any one online, and you could accidentally set up a pen pal with some exotic person who (incredibly) takes a trip to the US and visits “her” friend and turns out to be some nut.

If I were looking for exotic pen pals and I lived in West Jordan, I’d contact someone in my ward whose kid is serving an exotic mission and see if they can pass the word along. That’s a good way to ensure that the youth you contact are actually LDS youth and not internet wackos.

This is a very cute activity idea. If you have pictures or documents you used for America’s Top Modest Model, would you please email them to me? I’d love to add this to my Standards Night section.

I’ve never heard of a YW Sacrament Meeting presentation…. Could you elaborate on this?

[Jenny SmithParticipant]

I think you’re right — when leaders seem to take the program seriously, the girls do, too.

Here’s how I’d pick values for each month (because I’m not hung up on going in order).

Look in the Resource Guide printed in the conference edition of the Ensign. Some lessons have a related personal progress activity that can be done to accompany a lesson. Use the value from those activities as your monthly value.

Choose a tablecloth (or make one) that is the value’s color. Set up several related items to that value on the table. You could even invite a girl to share how that value has affected them during the week (sort of like a missionary moment) as part of your opening exercises.

As long as it doesn’t take from class time (and especially if your unit does not have Mutual due to special circumstances), incorporate the value activities into your lessons.

BTW, I created some value posters back in the day that can be found here:

I created them for my friend that was a YW president to use in her class for their monthly value emphasis. The leopard print seemed to fit her girls :)

If you are shrinking images and they are becoming blurry, try using a different program to change the size.

For example, Microsoft Word and WordPerfect are not always very good at changing the sizes of pictures. But graphics programs, like Publisher, Draw, Photoshop, Photo Soap, etc. are.

From a FMH thread on dealing with the sometimes faith and testimony trying events and interpretations of Church History.

Quote:

The Gospel is bigger than rumor and stronger than suspicion and will go on no matter what.

Quote:

As President Harold B. Lee said, the true church is intended not only to comfort the afflicted, but to afflict the comfortable.

And from another linked source: I don’t have a testimony of the History of the Church by Davis Bitton:

Quote:

I never had a testimony of Church history. My testimony is in the gospel of Jesus Christ. … The truth of the gospel and the divinity of Joseph Smith’s calling as prophet of the restoration do not depend on his behavior as a human being and do not require perfection in his life.

When I was in YW, I taught the regular lesson (the ones at the end of the year are short), and then we read the Nativity story in Luke out loud as a class. It was easy to prepare and simple.
