I called each girl ahead of time and asked them to share a service they've done, how it made them feel, and what they learned from it.

As the girls settled down for the lesson I served my favorite recipe for Chocolate Éclair Cake and said, "Isn't this refreshing?" (It's fat-free except for the frosting. Yumm.) Then moved into my lesson using some of Elder Cuthbert's Conference talk called "The Spiritually of Service." I ended with the video, "The Good Samaritan." From BYUTV (satellite) Then I saw this quote on Ane's YW web site -   Good Samaritanism is contagious. Providing in the Lord's way humbles the rich, it exalts the poor, and sanctifies both (see D&C 104:15-18). The giver helps those in need by sharing what he has received. The receiver accepts the offering with gratitude. As the receiver rises to his full potential, he then is able to reach out to help others. H. David Burton, "Go, and Do Thou Likewise," Ensign, May 1997, 75. It is from the lesson Resources and ties in the video. The video is produced by BYU and probably available in LDS bookstores or online. In the video, the lawyer that asked Jesus, "Who is my neighbor" becomes the same person who portrays the traveler that is beaten and left for dead. The Good Samaritan is played by the same person who portrays Jesus. It's a powerful visual message.

At the end of the lesson, each girl received a clear plastic soda fountain glass with a plastic colored swirl straw (Oriental Trading). I filled them with Testamints (mints from Oriental Trading) and wrapped it all up in clear cellophane bags with blue shiny shredded gift bag stuff, so they looked like a gift. I attached a tag that said, "Refreshing Others Through Service Replenishes Your Testimony" and made a comparison with the Good Samaritan refreshing the man who was beaten. I told the girls to wrap up their week with the gift of service.
