What’s in It for You

• In preparation for an activity for your ward young women, read the article, “Your Next Step” on page 10. Have your Young Women leaders ask the Relief Society presidency when you can combine the Young Women activity with something the Relief Society is planning.

• If you’ve run out of ideas for service projects, check out the New Era special issue on service in March 1988. One article, “Nifty Ways to Serve Your Brother,” has almost a hundred suggestions. To read the list, go to www.lds.org. Click on Gospel Library, then under Church Publications select HTML. From here on, click on the boxes with the plus signs in front of the titles. Choose Magazines, then New Era. Click on 1988, then on March. Find FYI and click on the box. The article title is the last in the list. Click on the article title.

• Read the article on page 30, “The Sign on the Wall.” As a family, decide on a saying or quote you could post on your wall that represents a message you would like to teach others. Make the sign, frame it, and hang it up.

• For a really fun family home evening, ask your parents to dig out some of their favorite music they danced to as teenagers. You may have to do some advanced preparation to gather some old songs in a format that you can play on modern equipment. Have your parents teach you some of their favorite dance steps. If you need more inspiration, read “Why Dance?” on page 20.

In addition to the Resource Guides (printed in May and November in the Ensign and Liahona), Young Women and Aaronic Priesthood teachers may find these additional resources helpful in enhancing lessons 30–33.
