Buddy Ideas to use with your Young Woman Buddy:
Some of you volunteered to be a buddy to one of our Ward Young Women. How fun is that?! We have been requested to post some possible ideas you could do with your new buddy. We wish you many womderful memories in the making.
REMINDER: This is about focusing on the Young Women not on the adults. Keep conversations 90% about them and always be positive and encouraging like you Sisters always are.
* Go to any sports, music or speaking events etc. that they are participating in and cheer them on.
* Pick her up after school and take her home for an after school snack and chat.
* Have a photo date and share the same time line pictures...baby pics through whenever.
* Go to a chick flick movie or rent a chick flick video to watch together.
* Phone calls to say 'I am thinking of you...asking her to share some of her day with you.'
* Seek them out at church every Sunday and give her a hug. * Mail her a surprise note now and again.
* Remember her birthday and her unbirthday ( 6 month between birthdays.)
* Find out her interests and enjoy some with her. Go for a walk.
* Do a service project together.
* Library date: see her book interests and she can see yours.
* Seek her advice on matters on how to get close and stay close to your grandkids.
* Together make up questions you want to know about it each other. Cut them up, fold and put them in a container. Pull out a couple of them on certain visits to get to know each other better.
* Show an interest in her YW in Excellent goals...help her achieve them. Ask her to share her YW book on those she has achieved to get to know her better.
* Make a 'time capsule' together and it could even just be an old metal canister from the Bargain Bar and put in items and newsclippings and a letter to be opened in a year.
* Memorize the YW motto with her.* Learn how to do LDS Indexing and do it together.
* Date to go to the LDS Book Store and check out all the new books etc for fun AND go to the Distribution Center and see their new things too.
Hope some of these ideas help. If you have done some things with your YW Buddy that was successful please share on Sundays during the 'Good News\ moments or let Sister Brooks know so she can share for you. Hugs to you all for sharing you life with your YW Buddy.
