Subject: (lds-yw) FRIENDSHIP

"Christ, who said to the disciples 'Ye have not chosen me, but I have
chosen you,' can truly say to every group of Christian friends 'You have
not chosen one another but I have chosen you for one another.' The
Friendship is not a reward for our discrimination and good taste in
finding
one another out. It is the instrument by which God reveals to each the
beauties of all the others. They are no greater than the beauties of a
thousand other men; by Friendship God opens our eyes to them. They are,
like all beauties, derived from Him, and then, in a good
Friendship, increased by Him through the Friendship itself, so that it
is His instrument for creating as well as for revealing. At this feast
it is
He who has spread the board and it is He who has chosen the guests. It
is He, we may dare to hope, who sometimes does, and always
should, preside."

Subject: (lds-yw) "True Value"

True Value

Imagine there is a bank which credits your account each morning with
$86,400, carries no balance from day to day, allows you to keep no cash
balance, and every evening cancels whatever part of the amount you failed
to use during the day.  What would you do?  Draw out every cent, of
course!

Well, everyone has such a bank.  Its name is TIME.  Every morning it
credits you with 86,400 seconds.  Every night it writes off, as lost,
whatever of this time you have failed to invest to good purpose.  It
carries over no balance.  It allows no overdraft.  Each day it opens a
new account for you.  Each night it burns the records of the day.  If you
fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours.  There is no going
back.

There is no drawing against yesterday or tomorrow.  You must live in the
present on today's deposits.  Invest it to the best of your ability and
you will find great "wealth" in the areas of health, happiness and
success.

To realize the value of one year, ask a student who has failed his final
exam.

To realize the value of one month, ask a mother who has given birth to a
premature baby.

To realize the value of one week, ask an editor of a weekly magazine.

To realize the value of one day, ask a daily wage laborer who has
children to feed.

To realize the value of one hour, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.

To realize the value of one minute, ask the person who just missed the
train.

To realize the value of one second, ask the person who survived accident.

To realize the value of one milli-second, ask the person who won a silver
medal in the Olympics.

Treasure every moment you have.  And treasure it more because you have
shared it with someone special... someone special enough to have some of
your time.

The clock is running.  Make the most of today.

Subject: Re: (lds-yw) Birthdays

In our ward, last year the Laurel advisor found some small  silver footprints
(charm bracelet size)  at a jewelery kiosk in the mall.  she was able to talk
his price down since she was buying 40 of them.  They put one on twine like
stuff and gave it to each girl for her birthday.  This year she went back to
the same jewelry kiosk and found small hearts , so we are giving those to the
girls to add to their necklace so they will have a foot and a heart.  Several
of the girls have bought silver chains to put theirs on and it looks really
cute on them.

Does anybody know what the theme is next year so we can start looking for next
years trinket??

I use juno for several of my lists because 150 posts a day was too much.
You can set the options in juno to show you the return addresses and then
you can highlight them by dragging your mouse across the address.  You can
then hit Control + C and then when you go into the write feature put the
cursur in the send to box and hit Control + V.   It will copy the
highlighted address into the address box.  It isn't as easy as internet, but
it works.  I haven't been successful doing this in the address book.  You
can also set the options to automatically save the addresses of the people
you reply to and/or to save all the addresses of people who mail to you.

I hope this helps.

Subject: (lds-yw) P.P. incentives

Every 1st Thursday we meet for PP.  The girls bring their books and we sign 
off any goals they have completed and review where each girl is in the 
program.  However, lately our attendance has been falling off because the 
girls just think, "Well, I can come next month."  This is true, but we like 
to talk with them and try to motivate them.  I decided it would be fun to 
give them some small little "thing" related to PP that would show them that 
we want them to keep working and maybe have it motivate them at the same 
time.  I would want it to be a surprise so that those who come would be 
rewarded.  Do any of you clever people have any ideas on some small, 
inexpensive gifts I could make and handout for this?  I thought there was 
something sent a few months ago, but I can't find it in my stuff.  I would 
appreciate any ideas you would have.  Thank you!

Sotty for the misunderstanding.  I thought there was a theme each year.  Last
year the theme was "Faith in Every Footstep"  Was that just a Utah theme to
celebrate the pioneers coming?  I guess I was under the impression it was a
churchwide theme.  Last year was my firt year in YW so I just assumed there
was a general theme each year.

Hello!
Just being new to the Young Women, I am wondering what topics of training
you give to your class presidencies in your class presidency meetings.
Thanks for your ideas.

Subject: (lds-yw) Fwd: feel better about life...

It's an excerpt from Chicken Soup for the Soul...

if any of you ever feel down pick up one of the many volumes of these 
books... you'll feel better...


He was in the first third grade class I taught at Saint Mary's School in 
Morris, Minn.  All 34 of my students were dear to me, but Mark Eklund 
was one in a million.  Very neat in appearance, but had that 
happy-to-be-alive attitude that made even his occasional mischievousness 
delightful.
Mark talked incessantly.  I had to remind him again and again that 
talking without permission was not acceptable.  What impressed me so 
much, though, was his sincere response every time I had to correct him 
for misbehaving -
"Thank you for correcting me, Sister!"  I didn't know what to make of it 
at first, but before long I became accustomed to hearing it many times a 
day.
     One morning my patience was growing thin when Mark talked once too 
often, and then I made a novice teacher's mistake.  I looked at him and 
said, "If you say one more word, I am going to tape your mouth shut!"
It wasn't ten seconds later when Chuck blurted out, "Mark is talking 
again."  I hadn't asked any of the students to help me watch Mark, but 
since I had stated the punishment in front of the class, I had to act on 
it.  I remember the scene as if it had occurred this morning.  I walked 
to my desk, very deliberately opened my drawer and took out a roll of 
masking tape.  Without saying a word, I proceeded to Mark's desk, tore 
off two pieces of tape and made a big X with them over his mouth.  I 
then returned to the front of the room. As I glanced at Mark to see how 
he was doing he winked at me.  That did it!  I started laughing.  The 
class cheered as I walked back to Mark's desk, removed the tape and 
shrugged my shoulders.  His first words were, "Thank you for correcting 
me,Sister."
     At the end of the year I was asked to teach junior-high math.  The 
years flew by, and before I knew it Mark was in my classroom again.  He 
was more handsome than ever and just as polite.  Since he had to listen 
carefully to my instructions in the "new math," he did not talk as much 
in ninth grade as he had in the third.  One Friday, things just didn't 
feel right.  We had worked hard on a new concept all week, and I sensed 
that the students were frowning, frustrated with themselves - and edgy 
with one another.  I had to stop this crankiness before it got out of 
hand.  So I asked them to list the names of the other students in the 
room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name.  Then I 
told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of 
their classmates and write it down.  It took the remainder of the class 
period to finish the assignment, and as the students left the room, each 
one handed me the papers.  Charlie smiled.  Mark said, "Thank you for 
teaching me, Sister.  Have a good weekend."  That Saturday, I wrote down 
the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and I listed what 
everyone else had said about that individual.  On Monday I gave each 
student his or her list.  Before long, the entire class was smiling.  
"Really?" I heard whispered.  "I never knew that meant anything to 
anyone!"  "I didn't know others liked me so much!"  No one ever 
mentioned those papers in class again.  I never knew if they discussed 
them after class or with their parents, but it didn't matter.  The 
exercise had accomplished its purpose.The students were happy with 
themselves and one another again.
     That group of students moved on.  Several years later, after I 
returned from vacation, my parents met me at the airport.  As we were 
driving home, Mother asked me the usual questions about the trip - the 
weather, my experiences in general.  There was a light lull in the 
conversation.  Mother gave Dad a side-ways glance and simply says,
"Dad?"
My father cleared his throat as he usually did before something 
important.  "The Eklunds called last night," he began.  "Really?" I 
said.
"I haven't heard from them in years.  I wonder how Mark is."  Dad 
responded quietly. "Mark was killed in Vietnam," he said.  "The funeral 
is tomorrow, and his parents would like it if you could attend."  To 
this day I can still point to the exact spot on I-494 where Dad told me 
about Mark.
I had never seen a serviceman in a military coffin before.  Mark looked 
so handsome, so mature.  All I could think at that moment was, Mark, I 
would give all the masking tape in the world if only you would talk to 
me.
The church was packed with Mark's friends.  Chuck's sister sang "The 
Battle Hymn of the Republic."  Why did it have to rain on the day of the 
funeral?  It was difficult enough at the graveside.  The pastor said the 
usual prayers, and the bugler played taps.  One by one those who loved 
Mark took a last walk by the coffin and sprinkled it with holy water.
I was the last one to bless the coffin.  As I stood there, one of the 
soldiers who had acted as pallbearer came up to me.  "Were you Mark's 
math teacher?" he asked.  I nodded as I continued to stare at the 
coffin.
"Mark talked about you a lot," he said.  After the funeral, most of 
Mark's former classmates headed to Chucks farmhouse for lunch.  Mark's 
mother and father were there, obviously waiting for me.  "We want to 
show you something," his father said, taking a wallet out of his pocket. 

"They found this on Mark when he was killed.  We thought you might 
recognize it."
   Opening the billfold, he carefully removed two worn pieces of 
notebook paper that had obviously been taped, folded and refolded many 
times.  I knew without looking that the papers were the ones on which I 
had listed all the good things each of Mark's classmates had said about 
him.
"Thank you so much for doing that" Mark's mother said.  "As you can see, 
Mark treasured it."  Mark's classmates started to gather around us.  
Charlie smiled rather sheepishly and said, "I still have my list.  It's 
in the top drawer of my desk at home."  Chuck's wife said, "Chuck asked 
me to put this in our wedding album."  "I have mine too," Marilyn said.  
"It's in my diary."  Then Vicki, another classmate, reached into her 
pocketbook, took out her wallet and showed her worn and frazzled list to 
the group.  "I carry this with me at all times," Vicki said without 
batting an eyelash.
"I think we all saved our lists."  That's when I finally sat down and 
cried.  I cried for Mark and for all his friends who would never see him 
again.
