What’s in It for You

Mutual Activity Ideas

• Have an activity where members of the ward can introduce the youth to different careers. Under the direction of the bishop and your youth leaders, invite several ward members to present some interesting facts or demonstrations about their careers, combined with some advice on educational courses that would help in their chosen fields.

• As classes or quorums, read the article “Call Brett Now,” on page 28. Make a plan to call or contact each member of the class or quorum about Church meetings or activities. Include a plan for providing rides for those that need them.

Personal Progress or Duty to God

• In an inexpensive notebook or on a piece of paper, record how you use your time each day for two weeks. Evaluate your choices and what you would like to change. Set some goals for using your time more wisely.

Family Home Evening Idea

• Refer to the article, “To Run and Not be Weary,” on page 18. Read the Word of Wisdom in D&C 89, and talk about what kinds of exercise would improve the health of your family. Take a walk or jog together. Ride your bicycles, or play an active, outdoor game.
