Complete the Rest

What else can CTR stand for? Maybe a good reminder, like “current temple recommend” or “choose to (be) reverent.” How many others can you come up with?

Cook This Recipe

Use biscuit or bread dough to shape the letters CTR. Then bake it for 8–10 minutes at 450ºF (230ºC) or until golden brown. Be sure to get an adult’s help. What else could you use to make CTR? Maybe carrots and celery? Send us a picture of what you come up with!

Consider the Reason

Sometimes we see people making bad choices. Instead of judging them, we can choose to be kind and think about why they act that way. Are they struggling with something we can help them with?
