The Journey Site Visit a Success

On Saturday, May 30, many of the adult stake leaders visited Brighton Meadows, the site just northeast of Park City where The Journey will take place. Since pictures are worth 1,000 words, see for yourself how beautiful the site is:

The Journey Reading Schedule - May 25 - 31

Read from 3 Nephi 18:25 through Mormon 3:2. Christ died to fulfill all righteousness. Reflect on this statement. Imagine what a grand sight it must have been to see the children encircled with angels, to hear Christ pray for you in words so sacred they could not be written. Are there things in your life that you can do to fulfill all righteousness?

The Journey Reading Schedule - May 18 - 24

The reading for this week is 3 Nephi 4:7 through 3 Nephi 18:24. As you read about the Savior visiting the Nephites, underline what He did that you can do also. Write these things in your Journey Journal.

The Journey Reading Schedule - May 11 - 17

Read from Helaman 7:1 through 3 Nephi 4:6. What were the signs that Christ had been born in Jerusalem? What were the signs of Christ's crucifixion and death? Ponder: Am I going to recognize the signs of the Saviour's Second Coming? See Elder Oaks' talk on the Second Coming in the May 2004 Ensign. Record your feelings in your Journey Journal.

Lots of Journey Preparation Going On!

The Journey Costumes

Youth Conference Clothing

We recommend each person attending THE JOURNEY have two Book of Mormon outfits.

The outfits will be worn over jeans and shirts.

Make sure you have good walking/hiking shoes.

The outfits may be as simple as the NO SEW one below or more elaborate, but please do not place a financial burden on your family to provide the costume. Also, remember that you are CAMPING, and long or billowy costumes may be detrimental to your safety and enjoyment.

The least expensive material we have located can be found at:
Home Fabric (southwest corner for $2.00 fabric)
73 West 7200 South, SLC

Design Company (a whole room of $2.00 fabric)
2253 South 500 East, SLC

The NPS Store
1775 West 1500 South, SLC

Benina-Nuttall Fabric
52 East Pages Lane, Centerville

Wal-Mart’s fabric section
Centerville

Brooks Fabric (basement)
220 North Main, Bountiful

No Sew Costume:

2 yards of material 45 inches wide. Use medium weight cotton or cotton blend.

Cut fabric into 2 LONG pieces. Each piece should measure 2 yards long and about 22 inches wide.

Fold each piece in two so the fold goes crosswise. Cut a neck hole in the center of the fold, about 10-11 inches across. That should leave 5 to 6 inches on each side of the hole to the edge of the fabric.

Tie a rope or other belt at the waist to hold the tunic in place. The tunic will go down almost to your knees.

This information has been given to your ward wardrobe specialist. Please contact her for help. If you have any questions, you may also call Linda Thornell (295-9306) or Chris Hale (292-2089).

Here is another clothing option:
