Doing as the pioneers did—walking for miles, eating little, sacrificing worldly comforts (and cell phones)—may be a daunting task, but it can come with great rewards as you draw closer to your pioneer predecessors and the Lord. Follow these guidelines to make the experience as positive as possible.
Promblems
MR says: It's prom season! Here's a great post on some of the problems teens face from a dad and former bishop. Prom. The very word conjures up memories of tuxedos, corsages, money, boutonnieres, money, dancing to disco music in formal clothes, more money, and the imminent doorstep. My EC and I both went...
Using the Youth Sunday School Curriculum to Train Future Missionaries
MR says: A cool new lesson help series that explores using the "Come, Follow Me" curriculum to help prepare future missionaries. I am happy to introduce a new monthly youth Sunday school series at BCC: adapting the youth Sunday school curriculum to train future missionaries. In my own ward I’m fortunate...
Revealed! The Mormon church dance ecosystem
MR says: Pretty funny. Co-authored by a 17-year-old for validity. Last Saturday, my 14-year-old daughter Jadi attended her first dance. She was, not surprisingly, more nervous about this rite of passage than a shrimp at a seafood restaurant. Gladly accepting my fatherhood responsibility, I’ve tried to...

Youth Lesson on a Chosen Topic – Word of Wisdom
MR says: A pretty good lesson help when teaching youth about the Word of Wisdom. Yesterday was a 5th Sunday. In most wards this means that all of the MP/RS are together. Lately our youth have been included, not because the topics are particularly relevant, but just because. This is my first 5th Sunday since...
Young Women General Meeting: YW counseled to stand in holy places
MR says: General conference meetings have begun! This article has great highlights from the Young Women broadcast. Young women dressed in bright spring colors filled the choir seats of the Conference Center in Salt Lake City as Church leaders addressed a capacity crowd—as well as Church members worldwide...
Modesty reflects discipleship, leaders say
MR says: I love what Sister Burton says about teaching "the why." In a world where movie stars, pop culture, and reality television are defining standards of beauty and dress, Latter-day Saint women should be distinct and different, say general auxiliary leaders of the Church. The way Latter-day Saint...
Sister Dalton: The Lord Trusts Youth
Some 2,000 youth received counsel from the Young Women general president March 23 on how they, like other Latter-day Saints, can be “saviors on Mount Zion.” Sister Elaine S. Dalton was the featured speaker at a family history youth devotional held in connection with the three-day RootsTech...
Treasure hunt near LDS temple prompts bomb squad response
MR says: Ha! Who knew asking a girl to a dance could cause so much trouble? ;) A Utah bomb squad thought a package marked "Army" was suspicious, but it was just part of an elaborate plan by a guy trying to ask a girl to a dance. St. George police rushed to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints...
