Thank you to the sister that said that. "Virtue and virginity are not synonomous." I am in another loop and we had a "HUGE" debate over this. I was one of "those girls." I just caution those who must teach "chasity" to our YW becareful on how you teach this. A YW who is not living this law "knows" what she has done is wrong, but that sin doesn't reflect who she "totally" is. She is still a daughter of our Father in Heaven, and He LOVES her. Another sister in this group made a comment that I did in my other loop, about these are still our sisters, "Sisters in Zion." If one of our RS sisters were going through something similar, we would be rallying around and giving support. Our YW need the same support not only from their leaders and parents, but from the ward. That is why they call us "Ward Families?" right! Thanks for listening to my ramblings.

Kathy S. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [This story has been shared by several General Authorities and appears to have first been told by Elder F. Burton Howard of the Seventy.] Celica Cruz Ayala of Puerto Rico decided to give a copy of the Book of Mormon to a friend. She obtained a blue, soft cover edition of the Book of Mormon and wrote her testimony inside, mentioning Moroni's promise in Mormon 10:4. Sister Cruz wrapped the book in paper with a ribbon and set out to deliver her present. As she was walking along the streets of Ponce, Puerto Rico, she was attacked by a bandit who stole her purse containing five pesos and the copy of the Book of Mormon. Sister Cruz was very shaken, but physically unharmed. A few days later she received the following letter in the mail: Mrs. Cruz: Forgive me, forgive me. You will never know how sorry I am for attacking you. But because of it, my life has changed and will continue to change. That book [the Book of Mormon] has helped me in my life. The dream of that man of God has shaken me and I thank God that I found you in those circumstances. I am returning your five pesos for I can't spend them. I want you to know that you seemed to have a radiance about you. That light seemed to stop me [from harming you, so] I ran away instead. I want you to know that you will see me again, but when you do, you won't recognize me, for I will be your brother. I am not from you city. But here, where I live, I have to find the Lord and go to the church you belong to. The message you wrote in that book brought tears to my eyes. Since Wednesday night I have not been able to stop reading it. I have prayed and asked God to forgive me. I don't know if He will but I ask you to forgive me. Please forgive me. I thought your wrapped gift was something I could sell. [Instead,] it has made me want to make my life over. Forgive me, forgive me, I beg you. Your absent friend. (See F. Burton Howard, "My Life Has Changed," Church News, January 16, 1996, and President James E.

Shiela brashie@ior.com Spokane Washington Stake Family Study "We the First Presidency and the Council of the Twelve Apostles, of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, solemnly proclaim that marriage between a man and woman is ordained of God and that the family is central to the Creator’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children." "All human beings-male and female-are created in the image of God. Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny. Gender is an essential characteristic of the individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose." "In the premortal realm, spirit sons and daughters knew and worshipped God as their Eternal Father and accepted His plan by which His children could obtain a physical body and gain earthly experience to progress toward perfection and ultimately realize his or her divine destiny as an heir of eternal life. The divine plan of happiness enables family relationships to be perpetuated beyond the grave. Sacred ordinances and covenants available in hold temples make it possible for individuals to return to the presence of God and for families to be united eternally." "We warn that individuals who violate covenants of chastity, who abuse spouse or offspring, or who fail to fulfill responsibilities will one day stand accountable before God. Further, we warn that the disintegration of the family will bring upon individuals, communities and nations the calamities foretold by ancient and modern prophets." During the upcoming quarter we, as a Stake Presidency, invite your family to study the principles outlined in the above portion of the Proclamation to the World on the Family, by the First Presidency. Teaching and understanding these principles are essential in cultivation a relationship with our Father in Heaven and as families. We have provided scriptural references, articles, and Family Home Evening ideas to help. We invite you to prayerfully teach these principles. JANUARY We are sons and daughters of God-gender is an essential characteristic. "The Light Within You" Gordon B. Hinckley, Ensign May 1995, p.99 John 7:16-17. How can we best cultivate a knowledge of God? Psalms 82:6 & Romans 8:16-17 The Spirit witnesses that we are the children of God and as a result, are heirs of God. Have you felt this witness in your life? What evidences do we have that this is true? Heb 12:9 How can we better allow our subjection to the Father of our spirits? What is the consequence of this subjection? D&C 76:23-24 Joseph Smith’s vision teaches of our relationship with God. "I Am A Child Of God" FHE Resource Book lesson #5 We are the Spirit Children of God. Teachings of Presidents of the Church Brigham Young p.50. FEBRUARY We had a premortal relationship with our Rather in Heaven and accepted His plan of Salvation. Moses 1:39 How important are we to our Heavenly Father? What constitutes his work and his glory? Abraham 3:22-28 What does this scripture teach us about the purpose of this life and of our performance in the premortal existence? Moses 4:1-4. 2Nephi 2:26-28. Teach the importance of agency and the responsibility, blessings and condemnation that are derived. Alma 42:1-4, 34:32-34. What two attitudes must we cultivate during this life? What do these two passages teach of service? How can we help advance the work of the Father?

I'm grateful for the opportunity to speak today regarding the topic assigned to me, the importance of Temple attendance. Brothers and Sisters, throughout our lives we are blessed with spiritual experiences, some of which are very sacred and confidential, and others, although just as sacred, are meant to be shared. Last summer my family had a spiritual experience that has had a lasting and profound impact on us, one we feel must be shared. It's a message of love. It's a message of regaining perspective, and restoring proper balance and renewing priorities. In humility, I pray that I might, in relating this story, give you a gift my little son, Brian, gave our family one warm summer day last year. On July 22nd I was en route to Washington, D.C. for a business trip. It was all so very ordinary until we landed in Denver for a plane change. As I collected my belongings from the overhead bin, an announcement was made for Mr. Lloyd Glenn to see the United customer service representative immediately. I thought nothing of this until I reached the door to leave the plane and I heard a gentleman asking every male if they were Mr. Glenn. At this point I knew something was wrong and my heart sunk. When I got off the plane a solemn-faced young man came toward me and said, "Mr. Glenn, there has been an emergency at your home. I do not know what the emergency is, or who is involved, but I will take you to a phone so you can call the hospital. My heart was now pounding, but the will to be calm took over. Woodenly, I followed this stranger to a distant telephone where I called the number he gave me for the Mission Hospital. My call was put through to the trauma center where I learned that my three-year-old son had been trapped underneath the automatic garage door for several minutes, and that when my wife had found him, he was dead. CPR had been performed by a neighbor, who is a doctor, and the paramedics had continued that treatment as Brian was transported to the hospital. By the time of my call, Brian was revived and they believed he would live, but they did not know how much damage had been done to his brain, nor to his heart. They explained that the door had completely closed on his little sternum right over his heart. He had been severely crushed. After speaking with the medical staff, my wife informed me that our Bishop and home teacher were there and were waiting for the doctors to give them the go ahead to administer to Brian. She sounded worried, but not hysterical, and I took comfort in her calmness. The return flight seemed to last forever, but finally I arrived at the hospital six hours after the garage door had come down. When I walked into the intensive care unit, nothing could have prepared me to see my little son laying so still on a great big bed with tubes and monitors everywhere. He was on a respirator. I glanced at my wife who stood and tried to give me a reassuring smile. It all seemed like a terrible dream. I was filled in on all the details and given the guarded prognosis. Brian was going to live, and the preliminary tests indicated that his heart was okay - two miracles, in and of themselves. But, only time would tell if his brain received any damage. Throughout these seemingly endless hours, my wife was calm. She told me that the Bishop had given a blessing so powerful and so reassuring that she felt that Brian would eventually be all right. I hung on to her words and faith like a lifeline. All that night and all the next day Brian remained unconscious. It seemed like forever since I had left for my business trip the day before. Finally, at two o'clock that afternoon, our son regained consciousness and sat up uttering the most beautiful words I have ever heard spoken. He said, "Daddy, hold me," as he reached for me with his little tiny arms. By the next day he was pronounced as having no neurological or physical deficits, and the story of his miraculous survival spread throughout the hospital. You cannot imagine our gratitude and joy. As we took Brian home we felt the unique reverence for life and love of our Heavenly Father that comes to those who brush death so closely. In the days that followed there was a special spirit about our home. Our two older children were much closer to their little brother. My wife and I were closer to each other, and all of us were very close as a whole family. Life took on a less stressful pace. Perspective seemed to be much more focused, and balance much easier to gain and maintain. We felt deeply blessed. Our gratitude was truly profound. Almost a month later to the day of the accident, Brian awoke from his afternoon nap and said, "Sit down, Mommy. I have something to tell you." At that time in his life, Brian usually spoke in small phrases, so to say such a large sentence surprised my wife. She sat down with him on the bed and he began this sacred and remarkable story. "Do you remember when I got stuck under the garage door? Well, it was so heavy and it hurt really bad. I called to you, but you couldn't hear me. I started to cry, but then it hurt too bad. And then the 'birdies' came." "The 'birdies'?" my wife asked puzzled. "Yes," he replied. "The 'birdies' made a whooshing sound and flew into the garage. They took care of me." "They did?" she asked. "Yes," he said. "One of the birdies came and got you. She came to tell you I got stuck under the door." A sweet and reverent feeling filled the room. The spirit was so strong and yet lighter than air. My wife realized that a three- year-old has no concept of death and spirits, so he was referring to the beings who came to help him from beyond the veil as "birdies" because they were up in the air like birds that fly. "What did the 'birdies' look like?" she asked. Brian answered, "They were so beautiful. They were dressed in white, all white. Some of them had on green and white, but some of them had on just white." My wife thought this was intriguing because Brian had no clue what the color green was. "Did they say anything?" "Yes," he answered. "They told me the baby would be all right." "The baby?" my wife asked, confused. And Brian answered, "Yes, the baby laying on the garage floor." He went on, "You came out and opened the garage door and ran to the baby. You told the baby to stay and not leave." My wife nearly collapsed upon hearing this, for she had indeed gone and knelt beside Brian's body, and seeing his crushed chest and unrecognizable features, and knowing he was already dead, she looked up around her and whispered, "Don't leave us, Brian; please stay if you can." As she listened to Brian telling her the words she had spoken, she realized that his spirit had left his body and was looking down from above on this little lifeless form. "Then what happened?" she asked. "We went on a trip," he said, "far, far away." He grew agitated trying to say things he didn't seem to have words for. My wife tried to calm and comfort him, and let him know it would be okay. He struggled with wanting to tell something that obviously was very important to him, but finding the words was so difficult. Finally, his eyes alighted on the picture of the Oakland temple that hangs in the room and he ran to it. "I went there!" he shouted. "There, Mommy," he pointed to the temple. "And I went to other ones like this. There are lots of them. They are everywhere, and I went to some of them with the 'birdies'. We flew so fast up in the air." To which my wife said, "That's one of the temples." "YES! YES!" he shouted. "I went to the temples." "They're so pretty, Mommy," he added. "And there are lots and lots of 'birdies' in the temple. Lots of them are in cages and they want to get out, but they can't by themselves. They need us to let them out of the cages. Mommy, I have to go to the temple and let them out. They are so sad and they need me to let them out. Mommy, you have to go there now and let them out. And Daddy too. And everyone. We have to let them out of their cages." My wife was stunned. Into her mind the sweet spirit enveloped her more soundly, but with an urgency she had never before known. She thought of the spirit world, the spirit prison to those who have not had saving ordinances done, and she knew that such spirits were relying on us to do these ordinances for them. She thought of how Brian had said some of the 'birdies' were wearing green and white, and the significance of that swept her with longing and understanding. Brian went on to tell her that the 'birdies' told him that he had to come back and tell everyone about the temples and the 'birdies' in their cages. He said they brought him back to the house and that a big fire truck, a little fire truck, and an ambulance were there. A man was bringing the baby out on a white bed and he tried to tell the man that the baby would be okay, but the man couldn't hear him. He said the 'birdies' told him he had to go with the ambulance, but they would be near him. He said it was so pretty there and so peaceful, and he didn't want to come back. And then the bright light came. He said the light was so bright and so warm, and he loved the bright light very much. Someone was in the bright light and put their arms around him and told him, "I love you, but you have to go back. You have to play baseball, tell everyone about the temples, and slay the alligators." Then the person in the bright light kissed him and waved bye-bye. Brian got in the ambulance with two of the 'birdies'. The ambulance doors closed after the people got in, and he said, "Then I saw my beautiful, beautiful 'birdies' waving bye-bye. Then whoosh, the big sound came and they went into the clouds." The story went on for over an hour. He taught us that the "birdies" are always with us, but we don't see them because we look with our eyes, and we don't hear them because we listen with our ears. But, they are there, and you can only see them in here (he put his hand over his heart). They whisper the things to help us do what's right because they love us so much. Brian continued, stating, "I have a plan, Mommy. You have a plan. Daddy has a plan. Everyone has a plan. We all must live our plan and keep our promises. And the 'birdies' help us do that 'cause they love us so, so much." In the weeks that followed, he often came to us and told all, or part it again and again. Always the story remained the same. The details were never changed or out of order. A few time he added further bits of information that clarified the message he had already delivered. It never ceased to amaze us how he could tell such detail and speak beyond his ability when he spoke of his "birdies." Everywhere he went, he told total strangers that they had to go to the temple. Surprisingly, no one ever looked at him strangely when he did this. Rather, they always got a softened look on their face and smiled. Needless to say, we have not been the same ever since that day, and I pray that we never will be. My wife and I have gone to the temple repeatedly since then, and always Brian is waiting to hear how many "birdies" we set free each time we go. Brothers and Sisters, of all the messages Brian could have brought back, he brought this one -- We must go to the temple and free the "birdies." I testify that the things I have shared with you today are true. They are of sacred worth. They are of eternal consequence to us all and to the spirits who await the work only we can do for them. May we all go to the temple and free the "birdies" - for this truly is the Lord's work and His glory, to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man. I leave you with this message in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. - - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

The recipe and card is made of 4 parts so it can be folded into a 4-sided greeting card. | # 1 is the face of the card | (right side up) 4 | 3 #2 is the refill instruction | (right side up) | #3 is the FHE and enjoy note | (upside down) - ----------------------------|------------------------- #4 are instructions for making | cookies (upside down) | | 2 | 1 | | #1(centered) Happy Mother's Day Date "Cookie Mix in a Jar" #2 To refill cookie jar or give to a friend Use wide mouth fruit jar.

Judy Arkansas Every evening as I'm laying here in bed This little prayer keeps running through my mortal head God bless my Mom and dad and bless my little child and take care of my spouse when things start gettin wild.... and God there's one more thing I wish that you could do hope ya don't mind me askin' but 'PLEASE' bless my 'puter too?? Now I know that it's not normal to bless a mother board but listen just a second while I explain to you, "MY LORD" you see, that little metal box holds more than odds and ends. inside those small components rest a hundred of my 'BEST FRIENDS' Some it's true I've never seen and most I've never met we've never shaken hands or shared a meal as yet... I know for sure they like me by the kindnesses that they give and this little scrap of metal is how I travel to where they live. by faith is how I know them much the same as I know you. I share in what life brings them from that our friendship grew. 'PLEASE' take an extra minute from your duties up above... to bless this hunk of metal that's filled with so much love. _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
