From St. John we come to church to hear God's word.

Favorite part of many to remember was not spiritual per se, but a thing that the leader did to show they were human and silly, too.

Girls welcomed a girl who came late and that was important to feel accepted.

Gospel is black and white, and found a scripture to support it like one always will if it is good and inspired of God.

Girls camp taught how important "life checks" are to make sure we are always 100 percent doing what is good. Often we do not even realize or take note of the others who are watching us to see what we will do.

Top ten things learned at girls camp:
1)Good Habits save us.
2) Being organized helps things run smoother
3) Origin of snakes
4) some one will always help
5)jokes don't get old
7) Girls have better water fights than scouts.
8) Things are Black and White in the Gospel


(I do not remember the others)

God will help if all we have is a desire to know. Look in the scriptures to find the truth.

Testimony of church, program, and prophets, she does in no way doubt anything about or taught therein is not true.

It is important to stepback and see the larger picture and we can see the beauty of how everything fits together.

Example of a plain ugly rock and then a piece of puzzle if we focus on the piece and fail to understand the place we occupy or the eternal perspective,the little piece doesn't look at all like the final puzzle, and focusing on it will not do any good.

Hold fast to what you know and more will come. (Example that comes to mind immediately is how

We are all at different stages. Maybe say things in the hall when you see a youth, you will be strengthened by associating with such strong people.

YW in particular glow and radiate so much when they are having good days!!!

We do not even know what the rest of the world is going through.

We are here on earth to learn to become like Jesus Christ. And it is a sacrifice so it reminds us of the Lord's sacrifice.

The temples and such have already been promised to us so .

The word lucky doesn't translate, but blessing or being blessed does.

Neither us or our children would not have the testimonies we do without paying our tithing.

It is an acknowledgement of our gratitude in being able to pay.

My dad used to say how the miracle of tithing is that you are blessed to know how to use the funds.

"I can do more with 90% and blessings than I could do with 100% anyway."

We can donate and the Lord knows better how to use those funds.

We can be truly annonymous in giving to others by stating such on the tithing slip, it will never be known by the other review

Bravery goes with sunlight, but campfire pushes back darkness.

In the movie Castaway, the man had no religion.

It is not as significant when is Sabbath, but that you do remember the Lord, we need to have such a worshipful sundays as when we need it like alone in the dark.

When your family accepts the gospel even though you were good already, you are strengthened and improve, most note eternal perspective.

Mention is made of good people who try to do right without revelation and inspiration of the gospel.

(The example for me was my parents who it was threatened they were disowned if they joined the church, they did and my grandparents notice the huge differences between my parents children and my cousins and they are very good church attending people, but you can see the difference in lifestyle and accomplishments.
