Worldwide Youth Event May 12!

We  have an awesome opportunity to listen to Elder and Sister Bednar answer questions from the youth on May 12th at 6 pm.  This event will be broadcast at the Stake Center in the cultural hall (casual dress is appropriate).  Invite your youth to submit their questions here before the event or on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram using #LDSface2face. 

The Stake Presidency has asked that this event take the place of your regular mutual activity that week.  This is such a great tool for the youth!

Multi-Stake Dance Schedule

There have been a few changes regarding the Multi-Stake Dances.  Going forward we will only be required to provide chaperones for the dance that our stake is in charge of.  This year we are over the dance in November.  We will be asking for your help as we get closer.  Below is the schedule for this year. This is also printed on the dance cards.  Please note that the date in February is different than what is printed on the card.

XOXO!

Color Code

The Color Code is a really fun personality test that you could use for a YW activity or as a way to get to know the other YW leaders better.  Click here for the test (this might not be "the" test but it was free online).  This is also a FABULOUS way for you to understand your YW a little better.  It is sometimes surprising what color/color combination they are!!

Book of Mormon in 100 Days

Here is the first of what we hope is a TON of fun ideas for activities.  This is an activity that spans 100 days, so it is a little different but still AWESOME! 

To start off the activity we had a lesson about the Book of Mormon and why it is important to read it. This followed along with what was being taught in Come Follow Me for the month.  I gave the lesson.  Click here for a copy of it. I know it is not perfect, but it might help.  

At the end of the lesson we handed out a Book of Mormon to each girl.  We followed this tutorial, but used the normal size Book of Mormon and used vinyl material from Hobby Lobby so we didn't have to do the iron on step.  We also did not add the bookmark ribbon (sorry I don't have a picture of what we did).

We also handed out a Book of Mormon Reading Chart bookmark that explained to the girls what they needed to read and how long they had to do it.  After each book in the Book of Mormon we had a treat or a mini party.  If the YW had read that book by the deadline they were invited to the party or to have the treat.   

There are so many different ways to get the YW to read the Book of Mormon. Switch it up!  I know the YW in my ward loved having the deadlines and the rewards to help them along.  Remember this is a requirement for Personal Progress so if you have girls that are struggling this might be for you!


XOXO!!!
