Lesson 11 at lds.org

CONCLUSION:

Ask the young women to choose an extended family member they wish to become closer to and use one of the ways discussed in the lesson to strengthen that relationship.

MID-WEEK ACTIVITY IDEA:

Have each of your young women start a family chain letter. Have her write about her family and send it to a member of her extended family. They add their information and send it on. It just keeps going and everyone gets to read about each other.
