PRESIDENCY MESSAGE
Don’t Pack the Learning Away with the Tent
 Miracles happen at camp, youth conferences, and other summer events. Hopefully skills, testimonies, and friendships have all grown. Don’t let it stop there! Refer back to experiences and feelings in lessons. Have young women share what they learned with their family, ward members, and others. Plan activities that review and build upon the skills they learned. Find ways to nurture and strengthen the relationships that started at camp—help them support one another in the halls at school the way they did at camp.

Elder Bednar Speaks on Technology
As a presidency, we recommend that all Young Women leaders either watch or read the recent CES fireside address by Elder David A. Bednar. As leaders, we can assist youth in learning to use technology with wisdom and balance. “Be careful of becoming so immersed and engrossed in pixels, texting, ear buds, twittering, online social networking and potentially addictive uses of media and the Internet that you... miss the richness of person-to-person communication.” |
