Instructions for the Week 

Items to Remember for Kindness Week:

1. Have fun completing your daily kindness challenges! Use the blank calendar page or the weekly detail page to place your star stickers on days completed. 

(From your Kindness Package, you will use the picture of Christ this week on July 5th. Take the black framed picture of Christ and set it beside your bed or somewhere you will see it as a reminder that you are a loved daughter of God and He is always there to help you!

2. We are excited to see the Kindness Ripple grow and want to see your pictures! You are welcome to email them to us at bbjfamilyfoundation@gmail.com or tag us on social media - Instagram @BBYCAMP and @the.ripple_effect

We will be choosing 5 people who share a picture/video/experience with us this week to receive 2 of Barbara's books in some happy mail! Winners for this week will be announced on our Instagram and emailed Monday, July 6th. 

3. At the end of the week, we invite you to fill in the "Reflection" square on your paper, reflecting on any thoughts/special moments you had this week. One question you might consider is "How does finding ways to intentionally be kind to others draw me closer to the Savior?"

We love hearing all of you say this special pledge at camp each year and hope you will continue to recite it this year wherever you may be. Read and recite the pledge posted below as well as view the video of Brooklin and Barbara saying it aloud. The video might also have a special appearance from Barbara's "character" - Melweena. Many years ago, when Barbara started speaking to many audiences across the globe, she learned that when you can make people laugh they become teachable. To this day, Barbara starts every talk with her character "Melweena" as she tells cheesy jokes and tells funny stories. You will see her famous Melweena character each week to hopefully

send you some extra smiles and giggles.
