Priscilla and Eliza R Snow

I need a co-leader! My wonderful partner was released from her calling, much to my dismay.

Sadly, I'm having a really hard time getting it together without her. Our planned activity was Eliza R Snow: The plan was to learn about her, her poetry and her songs, and dived into 2-4 groups. We would then have an adult take each group outside into a forest and every group would be under a tree 5-15 feet away form another group. All the girls would have flashlights. One group turn on their flashlights and point it up at the branches of their tree. They would then sing one of the hymns she composed (O My Father  - The Time is Far Spent - Awake, Ye Saints of God, Awake! - Though Deepening Trials) and then turn of their flashlights. At that point, another group would turn on their flashlights and sing a different song an so on.

I asked the parents to be there so I could have enough adults, alas, that afternoon I still had no volunteers. Not feeling good about having 10 young girls alone in the woods in the dark, I cancelled the event.

Yesterday I had planned to do a tent party on Priscilla, and as the only leader it was to be held at my house. The night before my two youngest daughters came down with the flu, and not wanting to bring 10 girls into a contaminated house and not having anywhere else to do the event, that was cancelled as well.

I hope someone gets called soon!

Make an item from wood, metal, fabric, or other material, or draw, paint, or sculpt a piece of art. Display your finished work for others to see. - Developing Talents #4 In September I sent out the schedule for the rest of the year to the parents. On that schedule, we were supposed to meet twice in December. The Relief Society Christmas Party was announced in November to be on the day we had scheduled Activity Days, so we cancelled the first activity. The second one was scheduled too close to Christmas so most of the girls would be gone. December scheduling is always really crazy! We ended up meeting once on the only night in December the majority of the girls were free. Maybe two activities in December is too ambitious. We met at a leader's house with the Sister MIssionaries. After our opening stuffs the Sister Missionaries showed us the Light the World video for 2017 and we talked about the program. That lead beautifully into making our own light- Ice Candles!

The Widow of Zarephath - Learning and Living the Gospel (4)

Read a recent conference address given by the prophet. Decide what you can do to follow the prophet, and do it. -  Learning and Living the Gospel (4) This lesson was to get us ready for General Conference! We met at my house. I had a big area set up with chairs in a circle and then a table with chairs. Our group is getting a little small (all our girls are turning 10!) so we invited the older group to join us. I wanted more for people to play the games. Any number of girls can play, I thought it would be more fun with more girls. We did our opening stuff and I gave my lesson: Widow of Zarapeth  Back in the days when wicked queen Jezebel ruled Israel there was a woman who lived in the same city as wicked Queen Jezelebal. This woman was not a Jew, and was not born in the covenant, but she loved God and tried to always do what was right. She married and had a son. Jezebel was so wicked that God sent a drought: There was no rain. Not a single drop of rain. All the rivers, c

Women and Girls of Tyre - Learning and Living the Gospel (4)

Read a recent conference address given by the prophet. Decide what you can do to follow the prophet, and do it. - Learning and Living the Gospel (4) This lesson was part two of Learning and Living the Gospel (4). It worked out so well! We met at the beach at 6pm. The beach was windy and FREEZING. It would have been such a lovely day to be at the beach three hours earlier, but oh well. We sat on a giant beach towel and huddled under blankets. We did our opening stuffs and I gave my lesson: Women and Girls of Tyre Let’s all start by saying the sixth Article of Faith together: We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth. What does that mean? When Christ was alive on the earth he set up His church, and His church is organized the same way today. Just like today, members of the church lived all over. Do you guys have family members that are members of the church of
