After we had an introduction of the values and the new Beehives we broke the parents into "mini-classes". They rotated to three different "value experience" tables for 15 min. each. They actually did a value experience at that table. All of our girls have chosen a value to work on for the year and each "value group" ran the "value experience" for that value. Before the evening was over they had three different groups of parents sit at their table and do a "value experience". We purposely split the husbands and wives up so between the two of them they could experience 6 values. It helped give the parents {especially the dads} an insight into what the girls do for PP. We had a PP book at each table so they could actually see where that experience came from. They had a paper that showed them where to go for the evening and a place for signatures. When they completed the "value experience" they got it signed off by a member of that value group. It was an informative night for our parents.

There are no abbreviations, it may be found in a single word, or in two words combined (eliminate the spacing between words. See how many you can find and how long it takes you. I once made a remark about the hidden books of the Bible. It was a lulu; kept people looking so hard for facts....and for others it was a revelation. Some were in a jam, especially since the names of the books were not capitalized. But the truth finally struck home to numbers of our readers. To others it was a real job. We want it to be a most fascinating few moments for you. Yes, there will be some really easy ones to spot. Others may require judges to help them. I will quickly admit it usually takes a minister to find one of them, and there will be loud lamentations when it is found. A little lady says she brews a cup to tea so she can concentrate better. See how well you can compete.

  Hi!
During the past year, our Stake Relief Society did a Women's Conference with the theme "Enjoy the Journey...Homeward Bound".  They asked me to re-write words to the tune of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow".   It went over real well.  So I thought maybe you could use it, if you would like.

Somewhere over horizon Father's there,
Watching all of His chiildren Hoping we'll all return.

As I sit here on earth I long to be,
In control of my life and have it in harmony.

But many times I find myself
weighed down by guilt and my
Self doubts -- So heavy.
And then I kneel down on my knees
To pray that Father's love will guide
Me -- back to heaven.

I know this life's a journey I must take.
There is joy in this journey If i but only look.

These trials that I have in my life
Are here to help me go back home.

Then moving on to the restoration, with the appearance of John the Baptist as an angel to restore the authority to baptize. With emphasis on the fact that the baptism about to be preformed will be done by immersion, as Jesus baptism was, and also with the same authority. It has been effective. Good Luck!

We have recently started it, but the results are great. Lots of recognition for the girls. I see more interest from the fathers too! I think a lot of them just don't know what to do. If we show them, I think it will help. Unfortunately the flip side of that is once they know, they may hound the girls so much that it becomes a sore spot rather than a wonderful experience. At least that has been my experience in a few cases.

We do have a New Beginnings each year. Also,we have a new Beehive orientaion with each new Beehive and her parents. But it seems to usually be left up to the Mothers to help her along, and sign off the goals. How can we better include the Fathers? This is a concern of both the young women leaders, and our Bishop. I feel most of the Fathers in our ward don't know much about the Personal Progress Program, and need to be better educated. P.P. is a wonderful tool to help strenghen the young women's relationship with her parents. Any ideas on how to improve in this area? - - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

She noticed others were proud, With their pearls all a'glow; "What happened to me?" She wanted to know. She felt left out and alone, With not much to give. The piece of sand in her side, Made it uncomfortable to live. Well, this sweet little oyster, With the sand in her side, decided, "If I cannot remove it, Then I'll try to improve it!" Then she gave all her effort and tried. Six years have gone by, For my dear little friend. Due to her time and efforts, She had a pearl in the end. It was beautiful to see, And actually quite grand; What that clever oyster did, With a small grain of sand. - - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

When I would give talks about the Holy Ghost at our convert baptisims, I liked to refer to John 14-16. The Savior spells out all that we gain from the Holy Ghost. I explained that his presence will be a comfort to us and that Heavenly Father and Jesus don't leave us here all alone.(vs 17). That he will help TEACH us, and bring to REMEMBRANCE the things they have been taught during the discussions, and also the things that their spirit knows is true. (vs 26) I related this to when they were having the discussions and the Holy Ghost bore witness to them that what they were being was true, and how it felt so right. I think you get the message. These are wonderful chapters to give you an understanding of the Holy Ghost. When I taught seminary, they broke down baptism in a way I hadn't fully understood before.

These are the things you need. I usually put them in a pretty gift bag. Make sure you tie the sayings on to the items, so you don't have brain freeze. First I explain that the Holy Ghost does many things for us and that I brought a few visual aids to help me. One by one, pull these out and you can expound on them as much as you want. You'll have to bear with me because my sister has my "bag of tricks" so I doing this by memory. Apple: The Holy Ghost will help teach us those things we need to know. We can have an understanding of the scriptures and the gospel, if we pray for that understanding. We will be able to learn all that we need and more. Lifesaver: He will caution us and protect us. The H.G. can save us spiritually and physically from dangerous situations, if we listen. A Lightbulb: The H.G. inspires us with ideasbrings things to our attention, helps us figure things out, and helps us understand the gospel better. Q-tips: Are we listening, or are things getting in the way of knowing what the Lord wants for us? Many times, our spiritual ears are closed and we don't listen. The Q-tip is a reminder to keep our ears clean and open so we can hear. Shoe: The H.G. acts as a guide. He will guide our footsteps, all we have to do is be willing to move our feet. A package of "Extra" gum: The H.G. is that "Extra" voice that whispers in our ear and tells us those things that are right. I like to think of Jiminy Cricket. The H.G. acts as a conscience for us. Band-aid: Through the feelings of the H.G., we know that we need to repent, and better yet, lets us know when we are forgiven. He also helps us to forgive others. Superglue: The H.G. is one of our greatest sources of strength. We can always rely on the strength and courage that the H.G. will give us, if we are worthy and willing to accept it and put it to use. Matches: The H.G. has a sanctifying effect upon us. When you receive the gift of the H.G., you are cleansed of all your mistakes. Relate it to the washing of a needle. If you wash a needle with soap and water, it will be clean, but not pure. When you burn it with a match, it then becomes pure. Baptism cleanses us, but the Gift of the H.G. makes us pure. A container of bubbles: The feelings of the spirit can make us bubble over with joy as we learn to act upon the things we feel. We each feel the spirit in different ways, and it may feel different to us in different situations. One of the most important things we need to learn is how to recognize those feelings. A piece of string tied in a bow: The H.G. reminds us constantly of those things that are important to us and those things that are of an eternal value. These are the things we should never forget. He helps us remember our worth and the importance of this life. He helps us remember that we are NEVER alone. He reminds us to be filled with love for others, and every other good thing that we need to remember. A picture of Christ: The most important thing that the H.G. does for us is testifies of Jesus Christ. He teaches and reminds us that Jesus is the Christ. That He is our Savior. That He does live. That He loves us and knows us individually. I hope this helps. I give them a picture of the Savior and I usually also ask them to pay close attention to how they feel during their baptism day. I also ask them to make sure they write about it in their journal and at different times I've been prompted to say different things. I think that in teaching about the H.G. we also need to listen and follow those promptings. I've had some amazing experiences giving this talk. Hope this helps.

You could do something on service, but have it all focused on their families...Veronica The youth conference we had was on Friday and Saturday. Our theme was "Mission Possible". We had put together little detective kits as our invitations to the youth and assigned them to be "Secret Service Agents". They were told to be at the church on Friday morning for their Top Secret Assignment. They were also told to wear their grubbies. We wanted to cover the 3-fold mission of the church and serve the members, the community (non- members) and those on the other side of the veil. Friday morning we had a little meeting with them and the bishop was their superior who talked to them about their assignments. The first day was based on "Perfecting the Saints". We broke into groups (with a yw and ym leader over each group) and gave them their assignments. We had a arranged throughout the ward different service projects for the youth to do for the whole day. We really tried to think of those in our ward who really needed help. Some of the ones we came up with were moving wood for an older lady, cleaning an older ladies house, making a cement walkway for another, moving rocks out of a trench and filling the holes for a less-active family, we checked with an elementary school and helped sort, organize, stocked shelves and helped a few teachers get their rooms ready, yard work, house work for a mom who had just had a baby, had several cookie making stations (which we delivered the next day in our random acts of kindness), pressure washed two decks, painted a garage and deck, help a family move things out of their house since they were moving, etc. We also helped two Priests with their Eagle Projects. It was unbelievable how much these small groups got done!!! Each service session was 45 minutes long and then they went to their next project. We took a break for lunch and then we had a few more sessions. At around 5 o'clock we met at a members piece of property for a huge barbecue and games. You've never seen a group of youth who complained more at the beginning, accomplished so much, and then were just glowing at the end of the day. The next day they were told to be at the church at 9 am for their second "mission" which was "Proclaim the Gospel". We broke them into groups again and had bags of cards in it that had different quotes and trinkets on it saying thank you for your service. They all had a certain number of places they had to go. Like one group went to Subway, the firestation, a nursing home, a library, city hall, etc. Then each group had a pretty big stack of extra ones that they were to get rid of before they came back. Those ones had cute thoughts on being happy, or enjoying life, or telling them to have a beautiful day, etc. After your group got done with their assigned ones, you just drove around and gave the other ones at random. That was so fun. My group found a parade that was going on and joined the parade and handed out notes, we were stopped at stoplights and handed them to the next car over, we went to the hospital and gave them to patients and nurses, walked through the mall and gave them out, etc. It was the most amazing experience for me and the youth to see the expressions on peoples faces. The looks on some of their faces will always be stuck in my mind. Then at 11:30 - 1:00 we had a free car wash at the church. We also had asked them all to bring a sack lunch that day. We put posters up every where that said, "We LOVE to serve, free car wash! NO DONATIONS!!!" After we washed their car we gave them a little note and told them thank you. That kept us busy and VERY WET! We had asked everyone to bring their change of clothes with them that morning and at 1:00 we sent everyone off to change and get ready to go to the temple, which was our last mission, "Redeem the Dead". We had the youth come up with their own names and we went and did baptisms for their families. It was so wonderful. We came back, had a big baked potato bar dinner and went to a members house for the best testimony meeting I've ever been too. The youth were crying, the adults were crying and we really changed some lives. I can't even describe those two days. I feel so grateful to have been a part of such an amazing chain of events. I hope that you'll share with me how it works for you if any one decides to do this. If you need any other info and details, let me know. - - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

Gepetto makes a wish on a star before going to bed. He wishes for Pinocchio to be a real boy. The Blue Fairy enters his home... Blue Fairy: Little Puppet made of pine, wake, the gift of life is thine. Pinocchio: I can move! I can talk! I can walk! Blue Fairy: Yes Pinocchio, I've given you life because tonight Gepetto wished for a real boy. Pinocchio: Am I a real boy? Blue Fairy: No Pinocchio, to make Gepetto's wish come true will be entirely up to you. Pinocchio: Up to me? Blue Fairly: Prove yourself brave, truthful and unselfish and someday you will be a real boy. Pinocchio: A REAL BOY!! Jiminy Cricket: That won't be easy. Blue Fairy: You must learn to choose between right and wrong. Pinocchio: Right and wrong? But how will I know? Blue Fairy: Your conscience will tell you. Pinocchio: What are conscience? Jiminy Cricket: What are conscience? I'll tell ya! A conscience is that still small voice that people don't listen to - that's just the trouble with the world today... Pinocchio: Are you my conscience? Jiminy Cricket: Who me? Blue Fairy: Would you like to be Pinocchio's conscience? Jiminy Cricket: Well, I, er, uh-huh! Blue Fairy: Very well, what is your name? Jiminy Cricket: Cricket's the name. Jiminy Cricket. Blue Fairy: Kneel Mr. Cricket. I dub you Pinocchio's conscience, Lord High Keeper of the knowledge of right and wrong, counselor in moments of temptation & guide along the straight and narrow path. When my mother gives this talk she usually stops by a store that carries Disney things and finds something (key chain, stuffed animal, shirt) with Jiminy Cricket on it to give to the person being baptized. I hope this helps some of you. Shiela mailto:brashie@ior.com - - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

The made baker's dough or salt dough (I think it's one part flour to one part salt and then water to pie dough consistancy...but double check). They took the lids off of their jars and covered it with hearts cut with cookie cutters and placed them on the lid. I think they just let them air dry until the next week and then they painted them. (You could dry them in an oven on very low heat, but it would still take a few hours) shiela mailto:brashie@ior.com DSLCM wrote: > Dear Sisters, > I am guilty of "deleting" all of the hundreds of messages on Journal Jars > because I thought, "Yes, this is a great idea.
