			<description><![CDATA[Why is there absolutely nowhere (that I can find) some page that explains what the young women's program structure is.  In other words, one can easily find info that a boy becomes a Deacon at 12, a teacher at 14, and a Priest at 16.  Where in the world is the correlating information for Young Women?  I have DILIGENTLY SEARCHED LDS.org and can't find a single thing that explains this.  

Yes, I know, 12 Beehive, 14 Mia Maid, 16 Laurel, 18 RS.  Where is that information so that somebody who doesn't know could possibly find it?  

My wife is an investigator and I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter.  It sure would be nice to show her the info and that maybe somebody thinks that's important enough to provide on the website.

Ok, so I rant a little.  I'm quite frustrated that this info is not readily available to those that may be looking for it.  I also realize that this is NOT LDS.org.....blah, blah, blah.   

This should be as easy as clicking on the Young Women link, but it isn't.  I simply can't find this information anywhere.  Am I missing it?]]></description>

			<title>VTing drop-off gifts</title>

			<description><![CDATA[Ok.  So does anyone ever feel weird about those little gifts we give each other during VTing visits? 

 Maybe no one here thinks that a small gesture such as a bottle of cheap lotion or a cutely decorated paper pad might be insulting.  And for the most part I would agree that giving someone a little something to say you care should be fairly benign and relatively unimportant in the grand scheme of things.

I guess I just have an issue with it because I feel pressure to produce one each month.  Other times, I feel like the cute thingy is all the love that is really shared as your VTer avoids talking to you if they accidentally run into you at the grocery store.

I mean, isn't or shouldn't the way we care for and about each other be deeper than a gesture?  Shouldn't the measure of whether or not  people know we care about them be more about the difference we are making, not how proficient we are at social niceities?

I don't know.  I guess I'd rather have a friend than a way too cutsie bookmark and all the pretense that surrounds it.]]></description>
