My first thought is you need to tell her that that is up to her Bishop. I agree with you, sounds like she doesn't like what he is saying & their is a constant struggle. I wonder why a Bishop (especially one who is a husband) is not more supportive!!!??? But that is all the more reason to remove yourself from this power struggle by explaining to her that that is ultimately up to her Bishop. (That is apparantly what he is needing to hear anyway) But in the end, it really is his decision on how to run his ward. Secondly, if you feel like you want to do a little research to help her don't feel like you have to answer her question ON THE SPOT! Say, that's a great question... let me get back to you!!! So you can research it out & feel good about knowing you are giving her the best answer. (And call her back when he is not home!!!) If she is asking you about putting a non-member in a calling & you are not sure.... call your Stake President and ask him! But, I'd always finish up by saying... that is the recommendation from the handbook (or Stake President) or that is how most wards in the stake choose to handle it.... but the ultimate decision is that of your Bishop's!!! And say that to him if you find yourself in that situation of arguing the point with him again. As far as the sacrament meeting thing I can tell you what our ward does.... the Beehive, Mia Maid, & Laurel recognition is given in YW Opening Exercises. However the Medallion is given by the Bishop & me (yw pres) in Sacrament Meeting. THey deserve that recognition! Our Stake does a yearly YW Recognition Night to honor all Laurels in the Stake receiving their medallion. It's very nice. (Like your court of honor idea). We just had that in April. The girls are honored, but the medallion is not given until Sacrament Meeting (some of the girls are still working on it.... but they are close & are planning on finishing... they still have time to keep working, but the evening to honor them needs to be scheduled so we handle it this way). Something else that we are going to do. We are ordering a plaque to hang in the church with each girls name on it that earns her madallion (just like an Eagle Scout plaque). But, that Bishop gets to decide for his ward.... & if he says no... than it is no. If you can find anything in writing (handbook, personal progress book) than that might give that yw pres. the leverage she is looking for.... but it still is his decision. GET OUT FROM THE MIDDLE OF THAT! Good luck :-) - - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

Here's one idea: Start by playing, singing, saying a variety of different TV jingles/slogans and have the kids right down what the product is. Use everything from diapers to beer. Then start a scripture and have the kids try to finish it (write it down). Since, most of them will know all the jingles and very few scriptures you can go right into a discussion of the powerful influence of music and the media and that we need to be selective about what we choose to let into our minds.

(All of our auxiliary heads are by the Stake). That report is given to the High Councilman over our ward who then reports to the Stake President. The questions I am asked are.... Is my Bishop supportive??? Does he meet the needs of his young women??? Is the Young Men Presidency doing their job & carrying their weight??? (or are we doing all the work). Another question... Is our Bishop interviewing the young women & on time??? Hope you get your chance to voice your concerns/problems. Maybe you shouldn't wait for a ward conference... Have you sat down with your Stake YW pres? We do get more money than any other auxiliary in our ward....

Those of you doing this activity on a Stake level, are you also combining this with your YW in Excellence? If so, how are you doing this to recognize each YW. Our stake is doing this Culminating act. I asked them if this could be in combination w/ the YW in EX. She said to do them separately. In talking with my presidency, we concluded that we are going to combine them both. The stake has asked our ward to display Family Now, we are having the girls choose a past activity or an upcoming act that has to do with Family now and bring something to display i.e.. A clay pot the girls painted and gave to their mom at our mother daughter night, a family home packet they made for their family. I asked a member of our stake if this would be OK. she was hesitant, but said she would bring it up at their next meeting. I told here with the two activities only being a month away, I feel these will compete with each other, and that one or the other would be lacking support. Waht are your thoughts on this subject.

I am sorry this has become such an issue. This is exactly what our camp director is trying to get away from. So much time and energy spent on something so miniscule and unimportant. If it is an issue just make the camp a long pants camp. As one of the camp nurses I feel that's safer anyway. Yes, the girls comlain that it is too hot. Long pants save you from poisen oak and sunburn on your legs, bug bites, snake bites, cuts and scrapes, burns from fires... plus it saves you the issue of having to enforce something that obviously involves different standards. Our pioneer women found that too be true with their long skirts, and they didn't have a choice. They survived the heat and trials from their long skirts. My daughter has come home crying from dances because they made her wear one of those ugly skirts they keep there in case of inappropriate clothing. She never made that mistake again! It hasn't stopped her from going back and it hasn't damaged her psyche! There are lots of non-member kids that go to dances and they know what is expected of them before they go. Our Bishop always explains the dress code for camp, as well as profanity, and anything else that needs to be discussed with each girl and then they both sign an agreement that is part of their camp registration form. That way no one can say they didn't know. The Prophet and several Apostles have commented on clothing standards. Just read a previous posting about Celestial Dating from gks@flash.net. I really see some major rationalization here that is frightening to me. What will our church stand for in the world community if we keep lowering our standards and rationalize it because we don't want to hurt peoples feelings. We are teaching TRUE principles. Our Prophet has taught them to us, and then we teach them. We have many non-member girls come to our camp. They know the standard. It has been taught to them by our Bishop. They have to sign the agreement just like our member girls. They know the truth. If they push the limits, we hold up our standard. They can wear long pants if they don't have proper length shorts. It won't kill them. Misty in Hollister - - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

And they were gently taught the standard. I'm sure that some people could take offense to being brought to a shower before they can enter the temple. But if the principle is taught, hopefully they will feel the Spirit and not be hurt. The standard was upheld, not lowered, not bent, not ignored because we want to be seen as user friendly.

We have 2 wards in Hollister (almost 3, we should split in the next year or two) and 2 in Gilroy. we go together. All the girls pay the same amount. The other half is the 3 in Morgan Hill and I think 2 or 3 in San Jose. They go at a different time. Usually the week before or after. We go for 8 days, 7 nights. We stay at Camp Ritchie which I think is owned by the church. I don't know if they have to pay anything for the use. (I'm just a camp nurse) We canoe, rapell down granite rocks, have lots of crafts, "cookies" that do all the cooking. Our 1st and 2nd year girls just have a day hike, 3rd year's go overnight, 4th years go out for about 4 days/3 nights, 5th year's are Junior Counselors, 6th year's are like staff. All the girls share the chores of cleaning bathrooms, flag ceremony, dishes from breakfast, lunch and dinner, etc. We have a polarbear swim at 6am across the lake, and a moonlight canoe after dinner. We have a fireside each night with each ward, plus the staff in charge of putting it on. We have lots of non-member girls come year after year. They love it and bear beautiful testimonies on the last night. They look forward to it as their haven from the world each year. Makes me cry everytime! I'm not involved to a point where I would know where all the money goes. Probably most goes to the food. The leaders that go do not have to pay so basically the girls have to kind of supplement us. Since I send 2 girls I feel I pay for myself through them. And like I said in a previous note, we do great fundraising so each girl usually pays only about $20-30 if they participate. I know girls that were only able to stay up for 2 days because of volleyball camp coinciding. They still paid their $120 (or what was left after fundraising). But camp meant that much to them! Sorry I wasn't much help. I hope I'm not inciting a war with all this stuff about shorts and all. I'm just relaying what our camp does. Our camp does not duct tape. My daughter just told me that another camp does. One of her friends that just moved here from another ward told her that was what they did at their camp. - - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

It says "we note that leaders and teachers are sometimes asked or made to feel obligated to provide materials, supplies, transportation, etc., because of their callings. These items should be provided from the budget." The message I get when reading that is... members shouldn't have to come out of their pockets in order to fulfill their church callings! (That would include girls camp!!!) Members shouldn't have to pay to be included in church activities or in order to serve! Obviously wards & stakes all handle things differently... they choose how to interpret things. We have a hard enough time finding camp counselors each year. I can't imagine asking anyone to go & then telling them THEY had to pay for the privilege of helping us, or pay in addition to being willing to find babysitters all week for their children, or having their husband take time off to be home from work....

I have seen her once since at a joint meeting of Camp directors and she did wave! :-) She is aware of the situation though, as I let her counselor know (who is my connection to the stake presidency) some 2or 3 months ago.... This is not a new problem in this ward I was told... Some girls haven't been seen since '96????? I definitely need a "pow wow" with someone... seems to me if I'm to magnify my calling and have a stewardship over these girls, it is MY responsibility ultimately to see that the program runs as is stipulated in the manual which was written for our good and has the seal of approval from the First Presidency. It's time. > > We do get more money than any other auxiliary in our ward.... Our Bishop is > more than generous & he knows how much the program costs....however he is is > fair & won't let us "pillage" the other auxiliaries... and our budget is NOT > $3800. WOW! :-) Can't you imagine the PARTIES you could have with bucks like that???? It's high... but that was an affluent and big ward.. All that plays into the total budget. Though I choked as the RS Counselor over homemaking with a measly $250/year budget!!! :-) NOW IT IS CLEARER THOUGH! We have much more to do in this calling... And things like Standards Night, YW in Excellence etc takes more than $16 to put together! (unless you get donations for items/food etc.) You can only ask so often though. Thank you all for listening. I just am not sure when to push or not. I'm not suppose to use my money but I have $6/month to spend... (unless I can get the $50 from the stake..then I'll have a tad more)... Financial pressures at home are difficult enough! Now my calling has me worried too????!!!!

I have only been on this list a week or so and I have had so many good ideas from it I can't believe it. I wish I had been on last year before my PTA job.

I have suggested this before so it may be a repeat to you. I heard a cute saying: We are all angels with only one wing. In order to fly we need to hold on to one another. (it might be "hug one another") anyway, you could make cute angel lapel pins or something of angels with only one wing. just an ider. Chad Smith wrote: > I need stories or Ideas about Angels.
