Looking ahead to lesson #8, I found an incredible resource I plan to
weave into my lesson on the "Attitudes About Our Divine Roles" (of womanhood). I
may use parts of it in other lessons, too. The Distribution Center carries the video tape:
"Wives and Daughters of the First Presidency" ISBN #02998 74000, which is
produced by the Church. It is "excerpts from the 1999 and 1996 Brigham Young
University Women's Conferences." I wanted to get the word out early so if you wanted
to order it, you'd have time. There are two segments.
"Segment 1: 'Strength and Wisdom through Experience'
April 30, 1999. This segment features a panel discussion with the wives and daughters of
Presidents Gordon B. Hinckley, Thomas S. Monson, and James E. Faust. The daughters express
their appreciation and love for their mothers and ask questions about experiences in their
lives. Sister Marjorie Hinckley, Frances Monson, and Ruth Faust tell of meeting their
husbands, raising their families, and serving in the Church. Time 66 minutes."
"Segment 2: 'An Evening with Sister Marjorie Hinckley
and her Daughters' May 2, 1996. In this segment Sister Marjorie Hinckley answers questions
from her three daughters about her life, faith, and service. She tells of her childhood,
her courtship and marriage to Gordon B. Hinckley, and of the happy, busy days spent caring
for their young children. She expresses love for people all over the world, shares stories
of traveling with her husband, and bears testimony of the Lord. Time: 53 minutes."

Divine Rolls
Here's an idea from another list about our Divine roles. It
would work good with lesson #8. "I wanted to share how our 2nd counselor used
her creativity for a lesson a couple Sundays ago on Divine Roles. She changed Roles to
Rolls and made (out of cream colored paper, ) a cookie sheet, an oven, and 6 rolls (looked
like cloverleaf rolls). Small enough to all fit on the chalkboard, but large enough to
see. She talked about our Roles as women, but each role was a "roll" with it
written on (i.e. a roll saying "mother", one saying "teacher", etc..)
I thought it was so good, I had to put it in my files, because in the Church it seems like
we are always talking about our roles as women, roles as member missionaries, etc... in
just about anything you can think of. The girls loved the lesson and it drove home her
point well. Billie :)"
Real rolls would work too with little toothpick flags that
have the roles written on them. or cinnamon rolls--yummy!
(A great Mutual Night Activity might be to learn to make
rolls or cinnamon rolls. Drive those young men crazy with the smell of homemade
bread (LOL) Maybe even deliver a plate of rolls to the bishopric :-)
