What’s in It for You

Mutual Activity Ideas

• Read “Watching over the Church” on page 30. As a Young Women class, ask your bishop if there is anything you can do to assist the teachers quorum, such as washing and ironing the sacrament cloths or baking the bread used in the sacrament.

• Have a New Era quiz. Prepare by telling everyone the week before to read the latest two issues and come ready to answer questions. Gather in a circle. Start by tossing a soft ball to someone in the circle. The one who catches the ball answers the question. Those with wrong answers are eliminated. Continue like musical chairs until only one person is left.

Personal Progress or Duty to God

• Read the Q&A on page 16 about overcoming the fear of teaching the gospel. If permitted, offer to go on exchanges with the full-time missionaries to see how they share the gospel.

Family Home Evening Ideas

• Even though you may not be into lifting weights, as the Brown family does in “True Strength” on page 20, suggest having a night of fitness. Figure out some exercise routines you can do at home. Or measure a distance around your neighborhood and challenge your family to make the walk every day for a month.

• Have each family member take the scripture quiz on page 38. Have each family member share his or her favorite verse of scripture.
