“Why Do I Have to Go to Mutual?” Sister Oscarson Has an Answer Contributed By Sister Bonnie L. Oscarson, Young Women general president 21 JUNE 2017 One way to increase understanding about why gathering as ward families and congregations is so important is discussing with children and youth what they can contribute to activities and meetings.

  Yesterday, the Young Women in the Ashdown Forest Ward sang "Peace in Christ" during Sacrament Meeting.  It was absolutely gorgeous- such a strong spirit. We then sang it again in opening Exercises so we could email it to Brother Zortman who is in the hospital fighting cancer and preparing for a bone marrow transplant.  His daughter Rachel is the Laurel President.  We just love Rachel and her family.  We're with you Sean!

From President Rau Youth Conference Preparation (April 8). Study Jacob 1:7; Omni 1:26; Moroni 10:32 and ponder what it means to come unto Christ. In Gospel Library  create a Tag called "Christ-Centered Scriptures" and tag each of these scriptures. Share what you learn with a family member or a friend. You may want to listen to the song  https://www.lds.org/youth/ video/come-unto-christ-2014- theme-song?lang=eng  and reflect on why you should "come unto Christ."
