October: Becoming More Christlike

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6).

The outlines in this unit will help the young women learn about and develop Christlike attributes. Jesus Christ has commanded all of us, “Be perfect even as I, or your Father who is in heaven is perfect” (see 3 Nephi 12:48). Developing the attributes of Christ will help the young women fulfill their divine potential as daughters of God. They will need these attributes as they face the challenges of living in perilous times and as they prepare to raise righteous families in the future.

Outlines to choose from this month:

• How can I become more Christlike?
• How can I develop Christlike love?
• How can I be more Christlike in my service to others?
• How can I learn to be more patient?
• Why is it important to be grateful?

Mutual

Many of the lesson topics and learning activities in this unit would work well as Mutual activities. Work with class presidencies in selecting and planning appropriate activities.

Hey girls!
I wanted to make sure everyone is regularly checking our blog. 
SO, everyone that comes to me within ONE WEEK of posting this will get their favorite candy bar!

So today is Wednesday, October 16th. You have until Wednesday, October 23rd to call me and tell me you saw this. :)

GOOD LUCK!

Love,
Sister Hynst

September: Commandments

“Consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God” (Mosiah 2:41).

Commandments are the laws and requirements that a loving Heavenly Father gives His children to bless them, protect them, and guide them back to Him. When we keep the commandments, we show our love for Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. As we obey the commandments and continually repent, we become more like the Savior and we are blessed with happiness, peace, testimony, and the companionship of the Holy Ghost. Obedience to the commandments helps us fulfill our divine role as daughters of God.

Outlines to choose from this month:

• How can I be in the world but not of the world?
• How do I guard my virtue?
• How do the things I say affect me and those around me?
• Why do we fast?
• Why are we commanded to keep the Sabbath day holy?
• Why is it important to be honest?
• Why do we pay tithing?
