I am wondering specifically about the "Worth Index". Does anyone know more about this???? Thanks so much! <<< If you can get hold of a June 1995 Ensign check out the article "Our Divinely Based Worth" by Barbara Day Lockhart. It is a great article about worth being something that you have and don't have to earn. I used it to teach the YW about individual worth. I had a class at BYU with Dr. Lockhart where most of the class could not accept this concept. We spent the better part of a week discussing it and still most of the students felt that they had to "do" something to have worth. She has also developed a "Worth Index" that allows a person to see where they feel their worth comes from. My YW enjoyed doing the index and learning more about themselves. >>> - - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

My Bishop felt inspired that the YW should meet weekly with the RS and share opening exercises, similar to what the priesthood do, and then split for classes. I, however, felt inspired that this was NOT the thing to do. We struggled with it for six months and I did support him in his desire, all the while feeling wrong about the whole thing. In our handbook it directly states "YW should not meet with any other organization." I felt in supporting him I was going directly against what the first presidency has set up for the young women, yet I also felt I should obey him as my bishop. What can a YW president do if she is receiving conflicting messages? Louise H.

While our successes are fresh in my mind, I thought I would share them in the event anyone is keeping a file for next year. Our them was M.A.S.H. (Modern Armies Serving Heaven). The stake arranged for a Values Walk on the second night of camp. They played contemporary, inspiring gospel-oriented music while they took each ward, one at a time. Before your ward left on its walk, each girl and leader was given a sandwich baggie which had seven colored rocks in it (to represent the values). Each ward was taken to a spot in the camp where another leader stood with one of the tiki torches which had a value written on poster board on its corresponding color stapled around the base of the tiki hut. A short talk on that value was given (maybe two minutes in length) at which time each participant was asked if they were willing to commit/recommit to living that value in their life. If so, they were to take the pebble from their bag and place it in a bottle which had a decorated tag with the value written on it. Each ward progressed to subsequent sites where the same process was repeated regarding a short talk and then a commitment/recommitment. These bottles were then taken to the central campsite where the stake assembled the following days and were on display to remind all the participants that we were all uniting in living the values. The last night of camp we had our Indian Princess Ceremony. This is a 10 minute ceremony which welcomes first year girls and leaders into the tribe. A story is told of a young woman who wants to bring honor to her family, learn the traditions of her people, etc. One fourth-year girl is selected from each ward and is actually dressed in indian dress. They hold tiki torches and present a small pendant to each of the first year individuals. The song I Walk in Beauty is sung while the pendants are passed out. This was beautiful. We utilized the candles during testimony meeting which has been mentioned here on this list as something that some of you do. My husband made small wood block holders which were drilled to hold a small eight inch tapered candle. I found the candles on sale at K-Mart right after the Christmas holidays for 10 cents each (we had to buy close to 50 to have enough for the girls and leaders, plus bishopric). The girls truly loved this, and it was beautiful to watch the candles burn surrounding the campfire. Our testimony meeting ran t-h-r-e-e hours, so the earliest candles burned completely out. We will definitely do this again. We gave each of our seventh year girls a candle of their own to keep with a small tag bearing their name and the phrase 'a keeper of the flame'. They received this candle in addition to the one that they lit during their testimonies. Out of 35 girls, we only had two who chose not to verbally share their testimonies. We asked two of our seventh year girls to prepare a spiritual fireside to last about 10 minutes in length each night just before bedtime. These were marvelous -- we chose the topics we wanted them to cover (resisting temptation/repentance for night one, increasing friendship and unity between the YW for night two, and the power of prayer for night three). Our two girls prepared thoughts/handouts/music/scriptures/stories for each evening's presentation. This is the first time our ward has done this and it was extremely powerful. While they did these firesides, they had the other 7th year girls deliver what they call "pillow talk" to each girl's pillow, which was a small handout reinforcing what was covered in the fireside. As an example, the presentation on friendship had as the pillow talk a heart-shaped cookie wrapped in a baggie with the thought attached: Love wasn't put in your heart to stay. Love isn't love til you give it away. Our squirt gun/super soaker water gun fight was a lot of fun and very welcome in the heat of the afternoon. We had no problems at all with this one. We used the Cracker Jack Theory that was posted several weeks ago and taped a copy of that thought to a box of cracker jacks for each girl. This was a hit!!! Hope you all have had, or will have, a marvelous girls camp. - - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

It is a very dangerous thing for us to question the counsel given by him. The stake YW President is intitled to receive inspiration for her stake. But the Bishop has been entrusted with all the ward's auxillaries. He has insight that she will never have. The priesthood power is a wonderful thing and the call of a Bishop is a very important and all encompassing for his particular unit. I do know we have been counselled to follow our Priesthood leaders. That is the most important thing. The Church is a church of order and as such the Bishop is THE Priesthood authority for the ward. I feel SO strongly about sustaining the priesthood leaders especially the Bishop. Be very careful if you deviate from this at all. And remember that all the YW and others as well watch for your example. If you give him your support, he will receive other's support but if you do not, how can you expect others to support him in other matters. Elder Aldin Porter once gave a conference talk about the safety there is when we follow our leader's counsel. Sorry to be so preachy but I know we MUST support our Bishop as he leads and directs our Ward. Thanks for listening.

I used the flower idea telling each young woman to take a flower after bearing her testimony and then at the end giving one to each girl who didn't get a chance to bear her's but thanking her for sharing her testimony in her heart. There was such a special spirit in the meeting. We had many girls bear testimonies that had never done so. One of the girls said it was the best testimony meeting she has ever been in. I started out by giving a short lesson on what a testimony is, why it is important, and how to give one. The rest of the time was left for testimonies. I just wanted to let all of you know what a success it was and to thank you for all your terrific input. The testimonies of these young women are so strong. I admire them so much and feel it such an honor to work in YW. Cathy - - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.
