Internet: EFY, YW and More Personal Pages
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- In addition to some fine websites for missions
and LDS-oriented businesses, this week a somewhat unusual new site is
dedicated to the Especially for Youth programs, attempting to help
youth remember their experiences there. Also notable is one woman's
"cartoon dolls" for young women and several personal pages, including
one in French.
The Especially for Youth site tries to extend the EFY experience with
snapshots, testimonies and feelings and stories. Meanwhile, the YW
Princesses site's "cartoon dolls" each represent one of the seven
values taught to Young Women in the LDS Church.
Among the personal sites, a French-language site by a Quebec youth
that covers young women and primary is likely to be useful, although
it would be nice to have more information on the site. And a
Spanish-language site contains some translations of early LDS
materials into Spanish, however, again it would be nice if the site
had more.
