Utah, USA & Dijon, France Exchange Blog

Hi guys, in my French class we all have pen pals with a class in Dijon, France. They are learning English and we are learning French, and part of what we are learning are the different customs and cultures of France. Both of our classes have started a blog explaining our different countries and I thought it would be fun for you guys to check out the blog as well. Anyone is welcome to ask a question in the comments and we may be able to answer your questions with another post or in the comments.
Here is the website I also put it in my links :)

They have a few different styles of this design to choose from,
unisex-$16.99

longsleeve-$24.99
sweatshirt-$34.99

These shirts are not only super cool but you will be supporting animals when wearing it, bonus!
Please consider buying one for you, or your friends and family, you'll be supporting a great cause.

For those of you nearby where I live our shelter is looking for some more volunteers. If you or someone you know would be interested in volunteering at the Cache Humane Society just drop by this site or email the volunteer coordinator at volunteer@cachehumane.org.


I would highly recommend volunteering, I have loved working with the cats for a few months now and it was one of the best decisions I made.
Thanks, Kamel

LDS Word Documents

I am part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I have a calling in young women's as a laurel secretary, and I am trying to earn my honor bee. Because of this I have created several word documents to help the young women and our leaders to help our meetings run smoother, and I thought some of these documents would be useful to share with others. I couldn't upload my actual word documents to my blog but if you would like any of these documents just shoot me an email at kamelinparadise@gmail.com and I can send you an attachment.

These first two are for opening exercises in young women's and for mutual. I usually make these in half sheets because you usually don't need all the space of a whole sheet of paper. I will make several copies and just keep them in the room we are meeting in with a pen or pencil.





I also made a young women directory that has all the young women and the leaders on it. I included basic contact information like their mailing address, home and cell phone numbers and their email address if they had one. This directory is mainly so the girls have a way to get a hold of each other if they need to remind someone of mutual or if they are team teaching a lesson on Sunday.


This is a mutual planning sheet. I will print a bunch of these for when the Laurels have a presidency meeting. You can write what month it is over the top of the table, then write the date of an activity on what week of the month it is on. Then on that same row we will write what the activity will be, who is attending, and any youth or adult assignments for that activity.



I had noticed that sometimes girls would say that they hadn't ever gotten a camp manual or a For the Strength of Youth pamphlet. This was happening often enough that I decided to get the girls all stocked with the essentials they were missing. So I started by making this checkoff list for them to see what they needed. Everything on the list (except the necklace) are essentials that young women need to complete personal progress or are important for records (primary recognition & membership record #).


They turned these back into me so I could make this master sheet of needed supplies.


I have the # copies needed, what it was, and what girls need them. Then I turned this sheet into the bishop who ordered the things that we needed. Once I started passing out the girl's supplies I used this sheet to cross off their names to see who I had left.

For New Beginnings I was in charge of introducing a new beehive, so I made a get to know you questionnaire that she filled out. I used these questions & her answers for her introduction.

*When is your birthday?
*Where were you born?
*What is your favorite color?
*Favorite food?
*Favorite dessert?
*Favorite animal?
*Favorite season?
*What is you favorite room in your house?
*What do you like to do outside?
* What is your favorite genre for books?
*What country would you love to visit?
*What has been your favorite vacation?
*Outside of your family, who is your hero?
*Who is your favorite American hero, (Rosa Parks, Abraham Lincoln, etc.)?
*Where do you want to live when you grow up?
*What is your favorite way to travel, (airplane, ferry, bus, etc.)?
*What are your hobbies?
*What are you most excited about for Young Women's?

I hope that you will find these useful and can take away some good ideas from these documents. As always thanks for reading, Kamille.

General Conference

This weekend is the 2015 October General Conference for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
This year my family does not have a TV that has actually TV on it (it only plays movies) so we are having to stream general conference online. I have found two sites that can do this for us one is lds.org and the other is mormonchannel.org. The church also has a YouTube channel that it posts the sessions to. I don't know how soon they will upload the sessions but as soon as they do I will let you guys know. There's another two sessions tomorrow, the morning session starting at 10:00 am, and  the afternoon session at 2:00 pm. I hope you all are having a wonderful general conference weekend and if you aren't LDS I would encourage you to watch a session either online or on TV :)
