What’s in It for You
Mutual Activity Idea
• Plan an activity that explores the challenges of different physical disabilities. Borrow a wheelchair and check out your meetinghouse for accessibility and ease of movement. How difficult is it to open doors while in the chair? What challenges does someone face if confined to a wheelchair? If you have ward members that have disabilities, invite them to come and talk about ways they appreciate being helped. Have someone research about the correct ways to offer help to someone who is blind.
Family History Idea
• Make a date with your father and mother. Go for a walk or a drive with your parents and ask them about their memories when they first met and while they were dating. Ask them to tell you about decisions they were glad they made. Record the things that impressed you in your journal.
Family Home Evening Idea
• In preparation for family home evening, read the article on page 34, “It’s Just a Copy, Right?” Together as a family talk about being honest in all things including sharing music or computer games without paying for them. Together review the section on honesty in the For the Strength of Youth pamphlet.
