I moved here from Idaho, and I didn't know how to pronounce it either! I
kept calling it "Pully-up"! And Sequim! Who would have thought to
pronounce it "Squim"??? Goofy!

Subject: (lds-yw) June/July Ensign article

In the June & July Ensigns is an article (part I & part II) by Elder
Cree-L Kofford of the Seventy called "Marriage in the Lord's Way".  Part
I (June p7) "The promised blessings that come from being married in the
temple benefit us in both time and eternity".  Part II (July p15)
"Responses to commonly asked questions about preparing for a temple
sealing".   It is kind of a "discussion" between the author and an
engaged couple.  Wonderful things are covered...why marry in the temple,
how to prepare, special things to do on the day you go to the temple,
questions about non-member relatives....it's an awesome article.  I am
hoping to talk my husband (1st counselor bishopric) into urging the
bishop to have a byd with these two ensigns, or maybe a combined ym/yw
activity.  Even if you choose not to share this with your yw right now,
it is a terrific article to read.  It may help you answer questions that
your yw may have in the future, maybe even now.

Subject: Re: (lds-yw) Personal Progress Thoughts

Lisa,
There is a quote by Pres Benson...Show me a yw who has received her YWhood Recog
Award, and I will show you...(I can't find the exact quote, but I am sure some
thoughtful, more organized sister will post it)  I would print this quote and
laminate it, frame it, make it into a magnet...something so it won't be as easily
thrown away.  I would also take the time to somehow invite any adult sisters who
have received their ywhood rec award and ask them to wear their necklaces that
day...maybe even have them stand up.
good luck,
Shiela

Subject: (lds-yw) Mother-Daughter Service Project

Hi,

Me again.  I just wanted to let those of you who are around a Deseret
Industries of a great activity we did last week.  I wasn't aware of this
progam, (but then again I've been living in Florida for the past 10 years!)
 Anyway, you can get quilt kits from them that have the material, batting
and yarn.  You just tie them, and finish them off.  Then return them to DI
and they will be given to those who need them, or sold.  Either way your
service helps someone.  We did it as a Mother-Daughter service project and
did 6 baby quilts and 2 twin sized ones.  It only took about 1 1/2 hours
(of course we already had them on frames when they came) and then some of
them took them home to finish them off.  One of the girls took several and
will count it as a Laurel project.  The best thing about it was that it was
free!  If you want to know more about this please
e-mail me at [e-mail]

Subject: Re: (lds-yw) Stake Combined AP/YW Camp/Conference

Huh?  Never heard of such a thing.  We involve our youth for the planning of
all such large stake activities - youth conferences.  We feel as stake
leaders we are there to GUIDE them, to change their direction if necessary,
to make sure things are appropriate, etc. (In other words, to train them to
be future leaders!)  What about the use of ad hoc committees as explained in
handbooks?  Why else would we have them?  Our youth attendance at such
activities has been greatly boosted since the youth take such a huge part in
the planning/advertising/carrying out of activities.

Pardon my rudeness, but I feel (MY OPINION) that sometimes leaders get
caught up in the fact that they have the opportunity to get some attention,
and utilize it.  Have a friend like that and it makes me crazy!!

I vote for the youth.

This is exactly what we do. It works well for us. One thing to beware of -
you have to keep the YW on track or the time just evaporates. We found if we

instance, in planning a combined activity (which our MiaMaids did last) we
told them it needed to involve a service. That way they didn't waste time
*wondering* what they should do. We limit the Beehives even more because
they are all barely 12 and haven't learned the ropes yet.

We are just starting a new training program in our ward.  I decided to
have the class presidencies meet one hour before mutual on our PP night.
We will have one of the leadership lessons from the handbook and then
split into classes for planning.  The girls are excited about this
format.  I'll post the results after our first meeting in July.

Yes, those are great articles.  I also suggest including Pres. Faust's
message in the same issue (p4) where he writes:

[I]t is a mistake for women to think that life only begins upon
marriage.  A woman must have an identity and be useful and feel
important and needed whether she is single or married.  She must also
feel that she has something to offer.

Subject: Re: (lds-yw) Personal Progress Thoughts

We are planning a mother/daughter evening for our 5 new Beehives on the
Personal Progress Programme, to introduce and motivate the girls.  Two of
the mothers are not members, two mothers are single.  I am new in the YW
presidency, never having worked in YW, never having been through the
programme myself (I am a convert).  I really want this evening to go well,
and the Personal Progress Programme is very important to me.  I have
participated in the Pursuit of Excellence Programme in RS and know how good
it feels to accomplish it, and want my YW to also feel this accomplishment.
 Any hints and help would be very gratefully received.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Your Bishop has to fill out a commodities order requesting how many kits
you want, and what sizes, then a counselor in the RS Stake Presidency takes
the form into D. I. and picks up what you need.  We went through the Ogden
D. I. but I would assume that they are not the only ones that did this.  If
you call your closest store and tell them what you want, they'll direct you
to the right department.  I can't remember the name of it - sorry  (it's
home something).  In Ogden that department is only open on Tues. and Thurs.
 so if you don't get through the first time, try again.

They also have receiving blankets to be crocheted around, and dish towels -
but you have to finish them off first.  I'd say the quilting went quickest.

Hope this answers your questions.

Subject: Re: (lds-yw) Stake Dance dress standards

Hi Everybody!   I'm brand new to all of this and would really like some
opinions on the topic of dress standards for  Stake dances.  We recently
became a new Stake.  They pulled 3 wards from a Stake and then 4 wards from a
neighboring  Stake to create us.  The dilemma is  the 3 wards from one stake's
dance card allowed I/2 of all stake dances to be casual dress and the rest
Sunday dress.  The other 4 wards are under a Sunday dress only routine.  We
are a brand new Stake YW Presidency.
There are good arguments for both sides.  We as  a Presidency feel strongly
that it should be l/2 dress and l/2 casual but have been asked by the Stake
President to write up our proposal.  Any advice?   Thanks for sharing!

Subject: (lds-yw) Church Dance Dress Standards

My opinion --

I think the Youth should be able to wear "dressy" casual.  Meaning, jeans
(without holes) and shirts with collars are fine.  Attendance goes up
considerably when these standards are enforced.  When it's church dress, many
youth don't feel like getting dressed up and don't come.  I really see nothing
wrong with the youth wearing nice casual clothes, as long as they know that
shorts and t-shirts are not allowed.

Subject: Re: (lds-yw) Mother-Daughter Service Project

In the Sacramento area, it is called the Bishops Special Assistants Program
(BSAP).  I believe the Sacramento store is the only one that use's this
title.  The other is the Home and craft section. All of the stores have
mending kits and kits for the quilts.  In Sacramento they also have plans
for all kinds of wood projects. DI will even give you $100 to buy the wood.
They have ideas for baskets full of different items. They have the wards
fill baskets with items say for a teenage girl others for a teenage boy. It
is a great program. Most of us have no idea what DI has done for the people
of the church. All we know of DI is we give them our worn out junk.
  If you want to have fun go volunteer to work at DI.  Or get to know the
people there. It is truly the gospel in action.  I have visited the
Sacramento store many times. The employees there are the greatest. Whatever
I asked for they were more than willing to let me have. As a Bishop I can
fill out a Bishop's order for a family, just like the Bishop's storehouse
for food.   DI has Brand new: Beds, Kitchen tables, dressers, stools
mattresses, chairs. What the Sacramento store does is take the best and
keep for the Bishops, especially at Christmas.
  They also have a back to school night and the Bishop can take any family
to DI and get what they need for school. Last year they had brand new
tennis shoes, Coats, and for the girls brand new clothes from Maces. The
clothes from Maceys were $200 to $500 suits for women. Needless to say we
had fun. Again most Bishop's and Stake Presidents have no idea of the value
of the DI store.
  I need to tell you a story. Four years ago I found out about DI. I drove
to Sacramento and picked up a trailer load of items. I knew what the
families needed in our ward, so I went and got it. We stopped at a Sisters
home and delivered: a washer machine, dryer, vacuum, two sets of bunk beds,
complete with mattress's, and a few other items. This was just a few days
before Christmas and this sister had nothing. A single sister struggling to
help her family, She had 3 boys and a girl.  Also she was a new member of
the church( maybe 2 yrs) and was only coming to church every now and then.
We also dropped off toys for the kids. I will never forget it, as we drove
away she was standing on the sidewalk crying. She told me later, no one had
ever given her anything.  We have worked with this sister and I am happy to
report last year she went through the Temple for her own endowments. She is
active and serving in the RS as the Homemaking Leader. She is also in
charge of the BSAP, and she works constantly to help others.
    Just a couple of months ago her brother died. All of her family came
from different parts of the country. I was at her home visiting with her
and her family. As I looked around her apartment, I saw a number of items
she had received from DI. Kitchen table and other things, they were of good
quality and her apartment looked real good. She had no reason to be ashamed
of anything. Then I thought, what would it look like if we did not have DI.
I was grateful that we could be of service to this sister.
Hope I haven't rambled on too much.
