Downloaded from: http://ldsywideasandactivities.blogspot.com/2013/02/basic-sewing-burp-rags.html This week for our class activity the girls learned to sew basic burp-rags (about 1/2 the size of a receiving blanket). I chose this project because it is VERY easy, as far as sewing goes. It also goes along with our theme for the month – Divine Nature – because I gave the girls the option to either give their completed project to someone who is having/has…

Downloaded from: http://inkablinka.com/2013/02/thank-you-cards.html Our New Beginnings program was last night – and it was wonderful. The young women were amazing and impressive as always, and lots of people came together to help us put the night together (and take it apart again)! We have many people to thank, so I’m putting together thank you cards for the girls to sign and deliver. I found this “You’re the Bee’s Knees” graphic…

Downloaded from: http://www.continuallycreative.com/2013/02/2013-lds-youth-activities/ We have been brainstorming various activities we could do during the week to follow the 2013 “Come Follow Me” Curriculum to reinforce Sunday lessons. I thought I would share what we came up with in case anyone else is looking for ideas. I don’t have a lot of ideas for the last months, but as we brainstorm more, I’ll continue to update this page.… Read the rest
Downloaded from: http://inkablinka.com/2013/02/yw-class-symbol-gifts.html I had so much fun putting together these class symbol gifts! I loved what another Young Women group did during their New Beginnings program – after introducing each class statement and symbol, they presented the incoming Beehives with a little gift. These little bees made with butterscotch candies? I die from the the cuteness! I used self-adhesive googly eyes, then drew stripes on the wrappers with a…

In the lesson or topic “Why do my choices matter” it is suggested to discuss with our youth how Satan tries to trick or confuse us
“Invite the young women to think of some things they might do when others challenge their standards. How does Satan try to confuse us about the consequences of our choices? Encourage them to look for truths during this lesson that help them combat Satan’s lies.”
With Satan and his followers busy these days waging a full on war with us it is important for us to learn how to detect evil, to find know the truth.

The way to detect evil is not by partaking in it. That would be like checking for Rat poison by tasting it.
Heavenly Father has promised us that evil can always be discerned We may see it from a distance. We may smell it from a distance. We may know it simply from its source. We have been given a wonderful gift called
Discernment so that we can detect danger from a distance.
When you are out camping or hiking and you come across a wonderful stream and you just need a drink- if it smells funny would you still drink from it?
Probably not. When you pull out some lunch meat from the fridge and it smells a little funny, do you still eat it? Probably not. Why? because our noses are telling us that it is not quite right. It warns us. Just as our eyes and nose allow us to keep our distance from toxins, we are given a spiritual sense, that if honored will detect evil before it gets into our system.
So Wednesday before our activity we are going to do some smell tests, to see how well our noses work. We will discuss how this just like our spiritual sense will give us warning. We will discuss some of Satan’s tricks and lies.
2 Nephi 28:20-22 tells us some of his tricks- He will rage in the hearts and stir them up to anger against that which is good. Others he will pacify and give them a false security. He will flatter some away and say “there is no hell and no devil”
I am really excited to do this- I will post some pictures next week of our smell tests- I think this will help the youth to understand a little better of their spiritual sense so they can make choices that will not harm them physically and spiritually. I am very excited.
We ended up not doing this during our activity but during a Sunday lesson

Downloaded from: http://ldsywideasandactivities.blogspot.com/2013/02/resurrection-visual-aid-for-yw-sunday.html It can be difficult to imagine some gospel concepts (like the Resurrection!) so I wanted to make a visual aid that the YW could relate to. I had a visual aid that I used to use during my mission and also when I taught Gospel Essentials as a Ward missionary. It came in very helpful to have something that people could see to help them follow the…
