Sorry I did not document where I found them. Where's Your Light? Under a Bushel or on a pole? Have you lost your Savor? 1. Have your friends noticed that you have a high standard when choosing movies? 2. Do your friends know where you are right now, and what you're studying? 3. Can people tell by your language that you are a Latter Day Saint? 4. If your paper and the student's next to you in class were so similar that the teacher suspected cheating would she assume that you were honest because of your fine reputation? 5. There's a new student in your English class that is awkward and just doesn't fit in. If one student stepped forward to be kind and friendly is there a good chance that might be you? 6. If someone that doesn't, know you snuck in your room and listened to your CD's and tapes would they suspect that you are a disciple of Christ? 7. If someone looked at what is hanging on the walls of your room would they also suspect that you were a follower of the Savior? 8. Do your friends know that you read the Bible? 9. Do you let people know that you're Mormon? 10. In the past 6 months have you invited a friend to church, given away a Book of Mormon, or told someone you knew the church was true? SCORE 1 POINT FOR EVERY YES Answer: 8-10 You are full of savor. Your light is shining bright for all who see 5-7 You need to be a little bolder in your example and testimony 0-5 The FBI might have a hard time finding out you are LDS. Throw away the bushel and let your light shine forth. How tough is Your Heart 1. Are you often bored, sleepy or just not listening in Sacrament meeting? (and then are surprised when others say afterwards what a great or inspiring meeting it was)? 2. Do you often find your mind wandering during the sacrament and find yourself forgetting to think of the Savior and his great sacrifice for us? 3. Do you forget to listen when others offer prayers in meetings, class or at home? 4. Has it been more than 3-4 months since you felt prompted to share your testimony in sacrament or young men/young women's meetings? 5. Do you forget to read your scriptures daily or do you find yourself reading several verses without even knowing what you have read? 6. Have you been skipping your morning and evening prayers? If you are praying are you forgetting to Kneel, focus, express gratitude, or really express your true thoughts and feelings or really listen for answers and impressions? 7. Have you noticed that while others are reverently participating in Seminary you are sleeping, talking, doing homework or acting stupid? 8. Are you Forgetting your standards and watching and listening to movies, television or music that drives away the spirit? 9. Do you find that you often have a bad or argumentative attitude when asked by your parents to do things? 10. Do you resent it when church assignments or meetings take time away from "what you wanted to do?" SCORING: 0 Points-Please tell Sister McEwen good-bye before you get translated. You have a heart that is faithful, loving and true and we will greatly miss you! 1-3- You are pretty good about doing what you should do, but work harder on putting your whole heart into it. Just being there isn't enough. Do what you can to really, feel the spirit and make progress in the gospel. It will take your whole heart to accomplish it. 4-6 You are mostly just going through the motions. You obey but your heart is not in it. Work and pray that your heart might be softened. There is hope for you yet! 7-9 You've definitely got hardening of the spiritual arteries. Angioplasty is needed immediately. Start with heartfelt daily prayer. Add to it focused and prayerful scripture study. It's time you found your own testimony and you'll only do that by putting your heart into it. 10-You're a mean one Mister Grinch. You have a heart that is several sizes to small (and hard as a rock). Don't wait until you're on a mission in Russia to start softening it up. Take the steps necessary to circumcise your heart. Pray, read your scriptures, ask for Heavenly Father's help and the Bishop's too if you need it. - - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

When I was a Laurel graduating into RS, the other Laurels made the girls that were leaving a small tie quilt. Every time I see the quilt it reminds me of my class and teacher. You can add to it; you can plan to "kidnap" them one morning which means, you go to their house early one morning (tell their parents ahead of time) and tell them they have five minutes to be out in the car. Make sure you only give them five minutes. When you have gotten all the girls, take a picture of them. Then you can take them to McDonalds or a leader's house for breakfast, handing them the blanket. After breakfast, you can have a bouqet of flowers to take to the nonactive girls in your class. Have fun!

To be honest I took several of them and used them together. It turned out really good. I am sorry I so late getting this thanks out, but I have been busy getting all the things together for that activity. Now that it is over I can finally breath again. I am sure you all can relate.

Give me a young woman who faithfully attends her Church meetings, who is a seminary graduate, who has earned her Young Womanhood Recognition award and wears it with pride! Give me a young woman who is virtuous and who has maintained her personal purity, who will not settle for less than a temple marriage, and I will give you a young woman who will perform miracles for the Lord now and throughout eternity. - Ezra Taft Benson - This appeared in the January 1987 "New Era" and is also on one of the most recent Mormonads. maclin@juno.com _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

I've seen 2 gifts with a "Holy Ghost" theme for such an occasion. One was a pair of hand crocheted (sp?) slippers...like socks.. nothing fancy and easy to make . The other was a lap quilt/blanket/comforter. Both were to keep the person warm and "comfortable"... or comforted. I gave a light blanket (small lap type) as a reminder that the "comforter" will always be near to wrap them in love and comfort when needed. (I gave it to my daughter and to this day, it is a reminder to her that when all else has failed her and she sobs on her bed... the Comforter and comforter is ready to wrap her in love and peace.) dee in Iowa - ---------- > From: Bill/Sue Guest > To: lds-yw@lists.xmission.com > Subject: Re: (lds-yw) Talk help! > Date: Thursday, May 07, 1998 11:01 AM > > >We have a YW getting baptized next wk. end and the Sis. missionaries > >have asked me to talk on baptism, and the Holy Ghost!

No matter how hard you try, you can't baptize a cat. When your mom is mad at your dad, don't let her brush your hair. If your sister hits you, don't hit her back. They always catch the second person. Never ask your 3-year-old brother to hold a tomato. You can't trust dogs to watch your food. Reading what people write on desks can teach you a lot. Don't sneeze when someone is cutting your hair. Puppies still have bad breath even after eating a Tic Tac. Never hold a dustbuster and a cat at the same time. School lunches stick to the wall. You can't hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk. Don't wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts. - - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

You all are great. = I am a brand-new subscriber, a brand-new first-time YW president in a = small ward, and my girls are a little less than enthused about Personal = Progress. I am working up a presentation to hopefully inspire them a = little. My thought was to give each girl a wrapped gift with a small = gift inside, and liken it to Personal Progress-you have to do a little = work (unwrap the package) to get the goodies inside (a closer = relationship with the Savior). Any ideas for what to give for the = little gift, or any other ideas? I have about 10 girls, and the adults = in our program are just me and one counselor. Thank you all already for = the ideas I have gotten in just 2 days!
