Young Women Manual 3 Lesson 11: Extended Family Relationships


This weeks freebie is for lesson 11 "Extended Family Relationships" This lesson talks about the importance of knowing our extended family our relatives.  Talking about them getting to know them and having relationships with them.
I am very thankful for my extended family. I love them all very much and have great relationships with them. Growing up I remember my cousin Kim was my best friend we did everything together!  I have very fond memories of our sleep overs, meeting boys, going to football games all the fun stuff teens do!  They are some of the wonderful memories I have of my youth! We have yearly family reunions so we can all catch up with each other it is the one time a year I look forward to camping!
I hope you can all take something from this lesson and know how much our Father in Heaven wants us to have relationships with our extended families that is why he give them to us!
Find the kit Feelin a Little Frosty here.

PS Sorry this is late!!  I have been busy with finals this week!  ;)

Young Women Manual 3 Lesson 9: Encouraging Family Unity



This week's Young Women lesson is on Encouraging Family Unity. There are a few quotes that really stood out to me.

“May I suggest that we give more of ourselves. … It might be something as simple as smiling more in your home.

“What would you think of speaking more cheerfully? Trying more often to say please and thank you?

“What would you think of finding an opportunity for one sincere compliment for each [person] each day, and then watching them respond?

“What if you decided to be cheerful tonight at the dinner table, and in spite of what others might do or say, hold to your course. See how long you can uplift your whole family” (H. Burke Peterson, in Conference Report, Oct. 1972, pp. 148–49; or Ensign, Jan. 1973, p. 115).

As you go through this week in preparing your lesson think of things you can do to make your family a stronger family unit. I know one thing we need to do as family at my house is pray together as a family. Also, study the scriptures. I really think these things will help us grow more in unity.
