Our roadshows also are limited to one month of practicing & very little money spent, if any. Some years they would allow us a certain amount of white butcher paper & that was all we could use for costumes, props, etc. (along with whatever paint, etc. we wanted to use on it... but the point was not to spend too much time or money) We got very creative!

If they aren't going to get married or can't get married, then the church leaders would rather see that baby in a home with a mom & a dad who ARE married. It's our Heavenly Father's hope for all of us. It is HIS ideal, the best plan he offers us for greatest chance of happiness. Stacey I think the bigger concern of the church and Heavenly Father is whether this baby will be sealed to a loving family. Sometimes that works when a YW keeps her baby, but most often it does not. Statistics are overwhelmingly in favor of that. Babies put up for adoption thru LDS Social Services always go to families where that baby can be sealed. I'm not saying things always work out, but babies statistically have better chances. I would not like to be in this situation with any of my children. This is possibly the most difficult choice a family would have to make. Marianne in Rock Springs >> Marianne... exactly! A family with mom AND dad, that can be sealed & the baby raised in the church is best situation where possible. I think we are agreeing! Stacey (I know this is an "old" topic...

We dream of doing something, but we don't take the proper steps. The lesson was in the manual I have. Older women can have goals for doing genealogy work or going on a mission (take steps to save money--how much needed to set aside per month, etc.) Why not begint he lesson as suggested: Take a moment for everyone to write down what they want to be doing 5 years from now ( or what they want to have accomplished). Have some tell you their answers and then take a couple of them and work out the short-term goals and steps needed to reach that long-term goal. Just a suggestion.

Dee - Have you thought of devoting the lesson time to learning about the life of the Savior and how our lives can be a reflection of our love for Him and His love for us? Perhaps you could enlist some of the sisters (older and younger) in sharing personal experiences of putting the scriptures into action (based on His teachings), for example: letting your light shine, forgiveness, humility, doing unto the least of these, etc. There is a wonderful, short video you could close with on the FHE video that shows excepts of His life, with only the music "Jesus Was No Ordinary Man". It is really nice - I can't remember what the segment is called right off, but I will look it up for you if you are interested. This topic would be appropriate for any age group!! Good luck!

I'll need a 40 minute SOMETHING. Sorry. I assumed everyone had responded! Classes like Fasting with a Purpose, Getting the most out of Sacrament meeting, the Joy of Service, the Purpose of Temple Work, etc. Or just pull out the most recent Conference Address issue of the Ensign and select a talk that you feel impressed to discuss. Assign a lot of scriptures, have a word association or quiz ice-breaker, and have a bunch of pictures. It's also fun with a small group to play a little game: jeopardy, matching, etc. Makes it a little less formal. Just brainstorm some topics, then pray about your choice. It'll work out great!

Wondering how safe it is for the girls to hold them as they burn down? Our camp was wonderful this year! Weather cooperated, the girls had so much fun, and the testimony meeting was awesome. 5th and 6th year girls did a remarkable job with the evening programs ( along with their other assignments!) Our theme was "Come Aboard" (Noah's Ark). The favorite new addition this year was D.E.A.R. time, drop everything and read. For about 40 minutes every day at 1, everyone (including cooks, etc.) was to drop everything and read their scriptures, the New Era, or other uplifting material. It was so awesome. I anticipated difficulties in getting the young women to cooperate, but they were admonishing their leaders to do it! It was an overwhelming success, and brought a sense of peace and quiet to camp in the middle of the day. Everyone came from DEAR time rested and ready for their afternoon activities. At the end of the week, the girls were not exhausted, and were all begging to stay longer. Even the leaders felt this way! It also ensured a time during the day that every girl could do her certification for scripture reading. It was great!

As a new YW pres, this has been our ward's past history (to switch > every month), but the leadership handbook says the Laurels are to conduct if > they meet all together. We had the same situation. Several ward traditions had developed, and I reverted to the manual. I felt it was important for the girls to see that when we had guidance, we needed to follow it, and if we didn't have guidance, we were free to follow our own best judgment. So now our Laurel president conducts each week, unless we have individual meetings, then each class president conducts her own class.

My Laurel advisor found some "keys" at a pottery shop in California, but she said they have a shop in Seattle (I love in Port Orchard). The keys she got were three on a ring. They are silver colored and pretty heavy. I think they were about $2 a ring. Hope you can find them.
