ACTIVITIES:

 Our Virtue Walk
 Our young women are doing virtue books to go with the new value. I think our leader said Sister Tanner suggested it. So beforhand we are all choosing some od our favorite virtues. W'll gather quotes, pictures, stories, etc. and then we're going to each get a small book (that we could keep in our purse) to put it all in.  (Idea by Alyssa Brown / ga01072009)

 Virtue Hike by Lauri Fredrickson
 We had two speakers (a YM leader and the YW president) who spoke on virtue for about 10 minutes each. Then the last speaker (the YM president who was in charge of the activity) asked the youth what it meant to "wax strong". He demonstrated by having a young man come up and try and hold a string and have it stand up. Then he had a candle warmer with a jar of melted wax. Together he and the young man dipped the string in. Tested it a few times and still it wouldn't stand, but they kept at it and of course by the end it was coated enough that it would be able to stand on its own. He likened that to each choice we make making us a little bit stronger - it doesn't happen all at once.  Then he talked about one way to "wax strong" was by garnishing our thoughts. He had a table full of pizza toppings and talked about each topping, relating it to some virtue. (Honest Olives, Service Sausage, Charitable Cheese, Pure Pepperoni, Modest Mushrooms, etc.)  After all was said and done each of the youth got to come up and "garnish" their own mini pizza and we cooked them.

 GENERAL YW BROADCAST FOLLOW-UP IDEA: I was impressed tonight by Sister Dalton's story of the white rose and what it meant to her as a symbol of purity, and so as leaders we will be giving each girl a white rose tomorrow at the end of our class time (they were bought tonight after the broadcast, so I hope they keep nicely for the morning!). I am thinking of attaching a tag on gold paper that reads her quote, "Virtue is Purity". We hope it will be a reminder to them of the messages they heard tonight, and help them in their desire to commit to being pure, to be worthy of the temple and the blessings that wait for them there. I also hope it will remind them that our Prophet and our general YW leaders are truly inspired, that Heavenly Father really is guiding us and loves them very much. (by Jamie Walburger / ga03292009)
