Come Unto Christ

So, I get the unique opportunity to live in a home ward right now and I get to serve with the Young Women. I love it! It reminds me of the good old days. But anyway...this year's theme is "Come Unto Christ" which is based on Moroni 10:32. We are learning a song titled "Come Unto Christ" for Girls Camp and I love it! Oh the power of music. It has been stuck in my head all week. But I can't complain because it is so uplifting and makes me feel so good. Ya'll should totally look up the video on youtube about this years mutual theme. Sooo gooood! Below is the link.

Miss Representation

I really liked the documentary "Miss Representation" that we watched in class this week. I always hated how the media tends to objectify women in commercials and on movies, but I never realized that part of the reason why is because mostly men are behind it all! There are not very many women involved in the high ups that are able to stand up for the individual worth of women. Because of that, women are usually portrayed on TV as ditsy, unintelligent, needy, emotional, and unstable. It is so sad to see that because it makes real women feel bad about themselves. Women have so much more to them. They can and should be intelligent, influential, and respected. There are not enough shows, movies, or commercials that portray the real worth and potential of strong, positive, powerful women. I am glad that this documentary was made to open our eyes and educate us!
