I LOVE the Light of the World Campaign that my church has done for the past few years. It has brought the perfect spirit to the season for me and my family. Last year, I created fun printables HERE for this amazing campaign. You can still download them and share in the fun activities, music, and scriptures. (The videos on the printables will no longer work, but check out mormon.org for this year's videos!)

Family History TuesdayZ | Testimony
Journal Prompt: When did you receive a testimony of the Savior? Each Tuesday, I am going to be offering prompts or ideas. If you don't write in your journal regularly - I am going to encourage you to write just ONCE A WEEK and answer the question/idea that I give on Tuesdays.

Give as much detail as you can when answering. Will you do this for me? Will you do this for your families? You can write it down in a journal, you can type it up on a computer or journaling software, you can take a recorder and talk, you can videotape your answers, you can even scrap a page with the journaling. It doesn't matter how ... [Read More]
