We had a fun activity for our youth last night. We made a huge "Mormon-opoly" board and had popcorn to snack on. We even had huge dice to roll. It was a little crazy but all in all, they had a great time. Quite a few were asking when we could play it again. Phrases not ordinarily heard in the Church..... "Somebody give me money cuz I own Bethlehem." "OK everybody, pay attention! We're getting ready to auction off the temple." "Are you in jail? - No, we're just visit teaching." "OK, we're trading the Urim & Thummim"

Sarah and her friend Taylor were in charge of New Beginnings as one of their value projects. There was a quote from a different Dr. Seuss book for each value. There's my Rebecca talking about Divine Nature! I gotta say assemble-your-own-Schlopp is quite good! This was the introduction of the new girls table. There is a poem in the background written about them in Dr. Seuss style. That was my job. Taylor's mother supervised everything else. She says she got a lot of ideas online. I think she's glad this is over! Each girl got to take one of these home.

So this is what has been eating up my time... For the Value of Virtue, the project is to read the entire Book of Mormon. So instead of handing my girls a piece of paper with a reading schedule on it, I decided to make them their very own Virtue book. These are the cheap composition books from Walmart. Me and a few other leaders covered them and added ribbon. I wanted each month to have a section, so we did 12 months times 29 books!! I didn't do the math until it was too late. We were working like crazy. So in the beginning of each month there is a reading schedule, then a few pages for their thoughts and things they need to write for the project. It was a busy week trying to get these together, but the girls loved them and I know it will help them be that much close to getting their medallion. Onto the next project...

The Young Women (ages 12-18) in our church are encouraged to participate in the Personal Progress program. There are 8 Young Women's Values, symbolized with 8 different colors. Every girl works on various goals and projects throughout the year, under the 8 different themes. Each goal brings them closer to an understanding of who they are as a child of God, and what their relationship is to the Lord. One of their ongoing projects is to read their scriptures every day, and to read the entire Book of Mormon, cover to cover. This is part of the Virtue Project, which is symbolized with the color gold. A sweet friend of mine is currently a leader in the Young Women's organization in her area and asked me if I could help her. This summer, as a class, they are working towards their goal of reading the entire Book of Mormon. She asked if I could figure out a way to cover a Book of Mormon for each girl in gold. (Because the reading the Book of Mormon is a project under the Virtue theme, which is gold.) I gladly accepted her challenge! I also designed a Book of Mormon reading chart to pair with the books, too, so each girl can track her progress as she reads. (Follow the link at the end of this post to print your own!) Here's how you can make your own gold covered scriptures: 1. SUPPLIES I started with some basic supplies. I was able to buy the inexpensive paperback copies of the Book of Mormon. I also found some gold foil patterned scrapbook paper and some gold trimmed ribbon. I also used some heavy spray adhesive, which is not pictured here. 2. MEASURE and CUT Carefully measure your books and then cut your paper to fit. Also, cut the ribbon to an appropriate length. TIP: I used a lighter to slightly burn and seal the edge, so the ribbon wouldn't fray. 3. GLUING First, I recommend gluing your ribbon to the back flap of the book before you adhere the cover. If your ribbon is thinner, you can also glue it to the spine, but wider ribbon will lay flatter if it is adhered to the back. It will be sandwiched as followed: BACK OF BOOK, then RIBBON, then COVER I don't have pictures of the actual gluing process because it's too hard to hold a camera and also glue two things together, but I do recommend a few things: A. Very carefully line up your book and your cover. Spray one side of the book and paper, join together and smooth out. B. Flip book over and repeat the process. C. Make sure to get glue all the way to the edges, to avoid peeling. D. Cover your work surface with paper to protect surface from overspray from the adhesive. Overspray will be tacky, so if you are doing multiple books change your papers periodically so your new books don't stick to it and ruin the paper, E. Dry thoroughly before use. Here they are, finished! Don't forget to print off your reading chart! See this post to print: PERSONAL PROGRESS VIRTUE PROJECT READING CHART

Many months ago, (back when we were planning our "Daughter of a King" YWIE) my presidency and I stumbled upon these paintings/prints of women from the scriptures. The paintings are so beautiful that we wanted an evening that focused just on these women from the scriptures. ~PROGRAM~ "Women of Value:The Treasures Within" New Beginnings theme was born. We decided that we would write a program that focused on the 8 different YW values and then tell the story about each of these women. That was easier said than done. I started writing the program and a writer I am not!! So after only writing the story of Hannah for the value of FAITH (4 hours=4 paragraphs)...I gave up!! My second counselor, the LOVELY and WELL VERSED Jamie Peiper, volunteered to finish it for me. She did an AMAZING job writing a program. With the permission of Jamie, I've attached the program for anyone else who'd like to use these paintings for their New Beginnings or YWIE. Thought we'd try to save others some time. She did such a wonderful job on it, that it really should be used again. I began the program by talking about "earthly treasures" vs "spiritual treasures." When we gain a testimony of each value, we are literally laying up our treasures in heaven. We then had one YW read the story for each value. (so 8 YW participate) It was FAB-U-LOUS! CLICK HERE to download a copy of the program ~DECORATIONS~ We kept it simple...YES that's right...I did my best to keep it simple!! We really wanted to art to be the focus of the evening. So here is a look. We framed all the prints in large frames borrowed from our YW leaders. Then in a smaller black frame labeled each picture with the name of the value & the name of the women. We bought fresh flowers in each value color and put them in a vase next to the pictures. We gave these flowers to the 11 yr. old that will be advancing into YW this year when we recognized them. In the center of it all, we framed a beautiful picture of the temple. I found this site where you can download and print these photos of various temples. Thank you to Mindy Evans Photography for providing this phenomenal photos to all of us who are always online looking for them :) you know you can never have too many pics of the temple when you serve in YW. ~PROGRAMS~ ~DESSERT~ we served homemade cheesecake and had 8 different sauces for people to top the cheesecake with. One sauce in each value color, of course. Our toppings we used wereFaith: White ChocolateDivine Nature: Blueberry syrupIndividual Worth: Strawberry SyrupKnowledge: KiwiChoice & Accountability: PeachGood Works: PineappleIntegrity: Blackberries Virtue: Butterscotch ~HANDOUTS~ We made a small box for each YW to take home with her. We filled it with choc. treasures. 8 in each box. One wrapped in each of the value colors and labeled with the value sticker. So, so, so cute!! And CHEAP!! Less that $1 a girl. Plus, the girls always love it when the handout has something to do with food. Good Luck to all who haven't yet done their New Beginnings program. Hope this helps someone!!
