I don't know if that particular arrangement is at this website, but it is a
great resource where sheet music can be purchased for .85cents.  It is found
at the following web site:

I'm looking for the sheet music to Praise the Man from the EFY 2005 music.

The answer is "yes". When a YW attends another ward other than her own she is
able to get the lesson she missed in her own ward if everyone stays on the same
numerical system. The exceptions are the Easter and Christmas lessons which are
taught on the appropriate Sundays.

I wrote this poem for our YW one Christmas. We gave it with candles, but the
lightbulb would be a fun twist on it.

I Shall Let My Light Shine

by Lorene Moore



I shall let my light so shine,

For all the world to see.

I'll shine with the light of Christ,

That glows so bright in me.



My light will shine in my words,

And in my thoughts and deeds.

Every act in love performed,

To meet his children's needs.



The light of Christ in each of us,

Needs to shine to grow.

Then through our brightly shining light,

Our love for him will show.


This could also tie very nicely into the theme and being an example by
letting your light shine.

God Bless!

Lorene Moore

We do this - but only a few times a year.  Once for Mother's Day and 1-2x a year
for 5th Sundays.  Our Bishop agrees that it is too disrupting to do so often.

I have to agree with this post on many points.  There is an underlying problem &
her behavior will not change until that problem is at least addressed.

On word of caution, though.  As leaders in the YW program, we are there to help
the parents of the YW by being a secondary support. In doing so, we are helping
the YW to become closer to God & family. It's not our job to become their
therapists or to be the one to get to the root of the problem - it's just not in
your training.  That doesn't mean you can't be of assistance in the matter or
try to address the presenting problems.

Perhaps you should seek counsel from your Bishop in a PPI.  Bishops are given
more training on how to deal with some issues like this...

What I would do is begin by focusing on mitigating her impact with the other
girls, which is the challenge you are seeing.

She's actually in a power struggle with you (even if your role is passive) & is
using her mom to qualify her reality.

As with any power struggle, the more attention it is given, the more power she
gets in the situation.  She's only as 'powerful' as you make her.  Imagine if no
one acknowledges her outbursts?  Who will be to blame for it?  How will the
others read it?  They will see her having a tantrum...awkward..but that works in
your favor.

Regarding the mom - she probably realizes she has a problem but doesn't know
herself what to do.  Going to her for help will actually make the problem worse.
The girl will see that as part of the power struggle & continue to see you as
the opposition.  You need to take yourself out of that role.

In the way of preemptive intervention, take time out to extra special things for
her as well as the other girls (on an individual basis & outside of any recent
outbursts).  This can be a simple card in the mail expressing your appreciation
for her, a trip to Jamba, or any other activity that will show her your truly
interested in her.

Don't be surprised if she doesn't immediately respond - remember there's
something else brewing that probably has nothing to do with you, your program or
the girls.  Keep trying & in time she will respond.

The main point is to not escalate the situation any further. The Lord will guide
you in what else you should do & put yourself in a position to where you can
really help out.

Step away from the situation and diffuse, diffuse, ignore.

Deep breath....good luck.

I am trying to incorprate more music in our program by having the girls work on

"I WONT do that"  "You can't make me!" and then when it comes to personal
progress. She says "it's  optional anyway - none of us "has to" if we don't want

About once or twice a year the YW/YM teach the Primary for our 5th Sunday
3rd hour meetings.  It seems to go fairly well for the youth although I
think especially for the younger Primary children (i.e. nursery) it is hard
for them to not have their regular teachers and there is a lot of crying
that goes on.

We don't do this. On 5th Sundays the RS/Priesthood meet together for a
combined lesson and the YW/YM meet together for a combined lesson. The
teacher can vary from a member of the bishopric, another ward member, or
even one of the stake presidency or stake yM/YW presidency for the youth.
The topics are varied as well. We have never had our youth take over
Primary.

In our ward we were told that the youth were to be in their own lessons on
Sunday receiveing the instructions that were meant for them.  Our Primary
teachers don't go in to the fifth Sunday lesson and our youth meet as usual on
that day.

I love having the youth teach the primary classes and do sharing time.  They do
not always come as prepared as they should but it makes them realize that their
piano playing and leading the singing is important.  Not just in Young Women.

  I also enjoy watching my sons preparing to teach a lesson.  I have seen my
young women and own boys learn from preparing to teach and present sharing time
for the 5th Sundays.  I am sure that it is different in each ward. But I feel
that it is a success with our ward.

   Subject: [lds-youngwomen] 5th Sundays



   In our ward for the last couple years on any 5th Sundays, the YM/YW have gone
into Primary to take over Sharing Time so ALL the adults could meet together in
a combined Priesthood/Relief Society meeting. Does any other ward do this? I
think it is a good idea occasionally, but it's come to the point where it is
just assumed that EVERY 5th Sunday the Youth take over Primary Sharing Time.
This week the Primary Presidency was unhappy because the youth didn't come as
prepared as they should have been. I think it is a LOT to ask of the youth. What
does everybody else think? Does any other ward do this? I am very interested to
know.
   Thank you!

My ward does this and has for as long as I can remember. It's worked out really
well for us. We know it's going to happen so we make sure that the youth have
the lessons ahead of time. We only have a few 5th Sundays a year so it's never
been much of an issue. Our youth meet for a combined lesson with the bishopric
quarterly on a first Sunday... so basically right after the rotation of the YW's
presidency teaching it will be the bishopric and then we start over with our
rotation.

Good luck!

On our 5th Sundays, a member of the Bishopric teaches the lesson for our YW.  
The YW look forward to these lessons, and it gives the Bishopric a chance to
spend some time with the YW since they are always with the YM.

We don't do this. On 5th Sundays the RS/Priesthood meet together for a combined
lesson and the YW/YM meet together for a combined lesson. The teacher can vary
from a member of the bishopric, another ward member, or even one of the stake
presidency or stake yM/YW presidency for the youth. The topics are varied as
well. We have never had our youth take over Primary.

Our yw does the primary on the 5th Sunday also.  We expect the primary to
prepare the girls by assigning the classes they are going to teach and provide
the girls with a print out of the lesson they are going to teach the week
before.

We do this in our ward, but like you, I feel after awhile that it becomes a real
hassle.  In the beginning, the idea was that the youth would do primary while
ALL adults, including YW/YM presidencies would go to  the combined PH/RS meeding
but soon we discovered that the youth needed adult supervision, which means that
although the Primary workers get to go to the combined mtg, the YW/YM never get
to go.

In our building there are two wards who meet.  What I would rather do is have
our youth cover their primary and vice versa so that we could all attend the
combined class.  But that is just my humble opinion.
