For the Strength of Youth

Choice and Accountability, Goal #2 includes the reading of the pamphlet For the Strength of Youth.  (This was the goal suggested by the online Enhanced Young Womens Manual 1, to accompany the lesson on resisting sin.) To help encourage this goal, I sent out the following letter on facebook and announced this in Young Women meeting.  I am sending out facebook messages everyday to those who signed up and email addresses to those who prefer it.  It's helping me to review the pamphlet as well.  I copy and paste all the words from the lds.org website in one section everyday, and am including the link at the bottom, in case they'd like to read the extra articles or scriptures, etc.  I've had a good response so far. =)

HERE IS THE LETTER I SENT OUT:

Hi all girls, Moms, and Leaders of YW!

****Reply to this if you'd like to take part in it--even if it's later--I will tailor it to you!!!!****
SINCE ALL OF US ARE ELIGIBLE TO WORK ON PERSONAL PROGRESS, I HAVE THE FOLLOWING OFFER TO EXTEND TO EACH OF YOU!! [=)] (Some of you have already accepted--so this is just so you have a copy of the goal.)=) All you have to do is reply to this, or send me your email.


Here is the goal we are focusing on currently (Choice and Accountability #2):

Read the pamphlet For the Strength of Youth. List in your journal each standard of righteous behavior the pamphlet outlines, and record why it is important to choose to live those standards. Practice living righteous standards by choosing three standards in which you need to improve. You might choose to be more selective about television, music, books, or other media, or you might improve your modesty, language, or honesty. After three weeks share your progress with your family, your class, or a leader.


TO MAKE IT EASIER, I WOULD LIKE TO SEND THE FOR THE STRENGTH OF YOUTH PAMPHLET TO YOU IN DAILY SECTIONS, SO THAT IT IS EASIER TO READ. THIS WILL TAKE 21 DAYS, BUT THEN WE WILL ALL HAVE IT READ, RIGHT??

I FEEL THAT THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT GOAL!!!!!

Let me know if you'd like to participate, and please encourage your daughters to do so!!!
Love, Christy
