YW lesson #36 lm1 The Importance of Truth in Living a Virtuous Life
This weeks Handout:
(provo canyon's bike trail)
"sometimes we think we can live on the edge and still maintain our virtue. But that is a Risky place to be."
I found this talk by Elaine S Dalton (2nd counselor in the YW presidency)
(click on above link)
D&C 25:2 "Walk in the paths of virtue".
Virtue encompasses modesty-in thought, language, dress, and demeanor. It is the foundation stone of chastity.
For their treat I gave the girls Trail Mix granola bars (Trails-paths) it's all I could come up with (:

Fall is in the Air
I have been Loving this cool Fall weather. I ♥ when the leaves start to change colors, and the mountiains are snow capped. The 1st day I thought it felt like Fall I grabbed my camera and headed up Provo Canyon. It started to rain on my drive up so I didn't get too far. But I got a quick picture of Bridal Veil Falls before it started to down pour!
