The Suspect’s Guidebook and Detective Notebook are all in the same PDF file. I will go make that clearer on the activity description!
Thanks,

I found this poem attributed to Pam Ridenour on another website.

A librarian submitted her Primary Picture lists to the database just yesterday. They have the manual’s picture number, along with the church library art number and Gospel Art Picture Kit numbers.

I also have an advertiser that has a product that might help you with your reports. It’s called LDS Auxilliary Assistant, and he says it is really helpful for secretaries that want to generate reports from home. He’s got it discounted for Christmas to just $9.95 and will also refund your money if it won’t work for you.
I haven’t used it myself, but I’ve heard it’s a pretty good product!

Someone posted a worksheet for planning Sharing Time for the 2006 theme. I hope it helps you:

Large List of Christmas Programs
Sally DeFord has a large list of LDS Christmas Scripts online
She also has a HUGE library of free LDS sheet music along with MP3s to listen to so that you can get an idea of how the songs sound.

The only activity I’ve heard of from our RS so far is a meal co-op. Basically, you are grouped with 3-4 families of about the same size/age as yours. You will make a favorite family recipe that can be frozen and make enough for all of the families on your list plus one for your family. Then you deliver the meals to the families in your group (this could be done on Sundays in spread-out areas), and you get several different meals back.
We hope this will help some of our working sisters have more time to spend with their families. We also think it may be helpful for those families with grown children or no children — it’s so hard to cook a meal for just one or two. It could also help families get healthier meals more often.
One website that talks about this says that you should make sure everyone buys several cheap 9×13 glass dishes to exchange so there’s no worries about getting your dishes back. Lots of things can just be mixed and stored in ziploc bags and thawed overnight.
The meal options are really bigger than you think — casseroles, stir fry, crockpot soups, roasts, enchiladas, crab cakes, meatloaf, pastas — many things you make can be frozen. Add a rolls, green salad, or rice, and you’ve got an awesome, simple meal!
Here are some links about dinner coops if you’re interested in this:
http://dinnercoop.cs.cmu.edu/dinnercoop/ – has menus and ideas for handling costs of food
http://www.coopamerica.org/PDF/CAQ60.pdf – PDF handbook about Co-oping meals
http://www.centerforsustainablecommunit … rning.html – once-a-week dinner co-op; the families in this group only cook and clean up once every 2 or 3 months
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/ar … May18.html – article talks about a kid-friendly dinner co-op and how they handled unpopular meals :). The moms in this article say thier food bills have actually gone down b/c of the co-op.
http://www.mgfk.com – a kind of professional dinner co-op. Basically they come up with recipes, cut up all the meat and veggies, and clean up. You assemble the meals and freeze them. Very cool.

Is this the story?
Dear Joan,
Tonight I have brought you a little teacup. I want it to stand as a symbol of strength to you. This cup was not always as beautiful and as translucent as it is now.
In the beginning it was fashioned of clay—carefully fashioned to be sure, for the potter took great pride in his work. To him the teacup had to be an expression of the beauty that he felt within himself. So he worked carefully, painstakingly; and when it was finished, he was proud of his work.
He knew, however, that no matter how carefully he worked, the teacup could not show its true beauty until the impurities in the clay from which it was fashioned had been burned out. Trembling, he put it in the kiln, for he knew full well that many other teacups had broken under such heat. He waited with great impatience. When the allotted time had passed, he looked in the kiln and to his joy found his teacup still whole. How beautiful it was!
Yet his practiced eye could still see flaws and he was not satisfied. He returned it to the kiln and subjected it to an even hotter fire. Again with trembling he waited, for he loved the teacup. How grateful he was when the second time he found it still in one piece, and how overjoyed he felt to see how the clay had been refined.
And yet he knew that there was still need for another firing. With some trepidation he subjected it to even greater heat. At last he held the teacup in his hand. He was satisfied. All the ugliness had been burned out of the clay, and the teacup showed the inner beauty that he had known was there all of the time.
Joan, dear, remember this little teacup when you are fired in the furnace of life. Remember that the “potter” is only trying to bring to light the true beauty that he can see in you.
Your loving Mother

In the front cover of the New Era is this:
Quote:Editorial Offices:
New Era
50 E. North Temple St. Rm. 2420
Salt Lake City, UT 84150-3220, USAE-mail address: [email protected]
Please e-mail or send stories, articles, photos, poems, and ideas to the address above. Unsolicited material is welcome. For return, include a self-addressed, stamped envelope.
I imagine this is the correct address. One of the kids in our local high school submitted an idea that was used by the New Era, so I know that they do use reader-submitted ideas. They even used a photograph of him in the print version of the poster!
Here is an article about Mormonads and what makes a good one.
Here’s a quote from another article
Quote:You Can Make a Mormonad!
Putting together a Mormonad is a great way to spend an activity night with your class or quorum or your entire Mutual group. Here are some pointers for winning ideas:
* Work in small groups instead of on your own. That way everyone can contribute in the areas where they have the most strength.
* Talk about your idea before you put pen to paper. Have a brainstorming session and give every idea a chance before you decide what you’re going to do.
* Don’t worry about elaborate art; just make sure that the person or object in the picture is clear and easy to understand.
* After you are through, post the Mormonads in a place where others can enjoy them–classrooms, the seminary room, etc.
* If you think you have a particularly good idea, send it to the New Era–we might buy it from you! However, even if we don’t buy your idea (we often get duplicate ideas, or ideas that won’t work for our format) keep trying. Making a Mormonad is a great way to think about gospel basics and what makes them important.
from a 1996 FYI

I’m not sure what you’re looking for — is this a LDS-oriented form?
-
I’ve never seen anything like this before — if you find what you’re looking for, be sure to post the link in case others are hunting for the same thing!
Thanks,

I split some of the images apart and added them to the Primary Clipart list

btw, the title of the book the text came from is Our Latter-day Hymns: Thier Stories and Messages by Karen Lynn Davidson. This book has bonus information and history on all the hymns in the hymnal. Our unit library has a copy of the book, so you might check there. You can buy a copy of the book here for $22.95.
