What’s in It for You

Mutual Activity Idea

• Have a leaf raking marathon. In preparation, have the youth each bring a rake. Divide them into teams. Arrange in advance with ward members who need the most help that the youth will come and rake their leaves. Funny prizes or awards can be given to the teams that fill the most trash bags with leaves, create the largest pile, have the most fun, etc.

Personal Progress or Duty to God Idea

• Plan a personal budget. Download a copy of a budget worksheet from www.providentliving.org. Click on Family Finances and then on the new Family Finances pamphlet. (This worksheet was an insert in the September 2007 Ensign.) Keep good records of what you earn, spend, and save for three months.

Family Home Evening Idea

• Read all you can in Church magazines or online about the new Apostle. Cut out a photo and place it in an accessible place in your home.
