What Makes You Beautiful

I am sure you have seen at least one of these videos made by a few young men groups across the nation, in response to President Thomas S. Monson saying that "every woman deserves to be told she's beautiful."

*

I would love to see a music video like this made by an Elder's Quorm or High Priest Group.  President Monson did say "every woman"... he did not specify age, right?  ;)

Original inspiration: Citrus Heights Young Men

*

The same group of young men made this video, as commissioned, for girls camp. :)

One of these would be fun to watch during this activity: The Beauty I See In Them

Virtuous Triangle

As I was preparing for my lesson on "Preparing for a Temple Marriage" (YW Manual 3, Lesson 18), I found this handout from Michelle Steineckert.  I loved the photograph and font she used.

*

As my lesson preparation developed I found a theme throughout that I couldn't ignore.  It centered around keys:

• Keys of the priesthood.
• Keys to cars.  Metaphorically speaking.  (I'll add this soon)  :)
• Keys to their hearts.

We also discussed the importance of being a virtuous young woman and seeking virtuous young men.

*

I had purchased (on clearance) a few packages of chipboard keys awhile ago.  They have been patiently sitting in a box waiting to be used.

*

I used Michelle's handout, but added a few extra touches.  I printed it out on white card stock.  Used a gold paint marker (a reminder of virtue) to highlight each corner of the sacred triangle.  Spray painted the chipboard keys gold and tied them to the handout with white ribbon.

*

I also had Hershey's gold wrapped nuggets we passed around during class.  You can never go wrong with chocolate!

Just thought I'd share.  :)
