Sister and Elder Kearon

Finally the English video version (scroll through the videos to "Worldwide Devotional May 2018)

I loved this youth world wide devotional. Especially Elder Kearon, he explained as he was a teenager in Ireland and being self absorbed, feeling alone, and depressed. One day he helped do service for strangers and he felt so much joy and an absence of his preoccupation with himself.  This is a lesson to build confidence and to show us look outside of ourselves when we are feeling sad/alone/depressed

Fast forward, He starts speaking around 27:57

Youtube weirdly enough, this is the french version

Birthday Service

Planning a birthday party, but thought it'd be fun to have the friends do a little service in the middle of the party-

Ideas from- Snowball , EatSleep,  Pennies and Millions

*Take chalk and drive around to your friends' houses.  Have your kids write kind words about the friend on their driveway.  It will wash off during the next rain but make their day in the meantime!
* Write a thank you to a friend, parent, grandparent, neighbor, soldier, etc
*Get out the markers, crayons and paper and make homemade cards or just have the kids color pretty pictures.  Drop them off at a rehabilitation center or hospital.
