EFY
Medley - This well
known medley of "As
Sisters In Zion/We'll Bring The World His
Truth" can be purchased on CD
or as sheet music in a songbook.
The CD is fabulous as it has many other hymn
variations done by the same person, Michael
Hicks. I actually know Michael personally
from when I was an EFY counselor. What a powerful
guy! His CDs are highly recommended. America's
Choir - Dubbed "America's
Choir" by President Ronald Regan, the
Mormon
Tabernacle Choir will celebrate 75 years
of continual broadcast. From its earliest
beginning, just a few months after the pioneers
arrived in the Salt Lake Valley, to its prestige
as a world-renowned choir courted by concert
halls in the most sophisticated cities across
the globe, the Choir has a unique and fascinating
story, now told in words and images by author
Heidi S. Swinton and on film by Lee Groberg.
Available in book
or CD
format. Aaron
Edson - Another LDS
musician that I know! Aaron and I went to
high school together. I remember him always
being into music and that has obviously transferred
into his professional life. His first album
"Wondering"
is excellent. It contains the "6 B's
song" which is probably his most well-known
song off of that album. He's allowed me to
give access to it as a download
on this site. Enjoy! His latest and even more
succesful is directing the movie/musical series
called "Liken
the Scriptures." He's one talented
dude! LDS
church music site
- Did you know that the church has a new
music site online? I just found out myself
and am including it in this list because it
is very cool! You can download
hymns and primary songs as MP3s with both
music and vocals or with just the music. There
is also an "Interactive
Church Music Player" which allows
you to play a hymn, adjusting the tempo, pitch,
and adding or pulling the soprano, alto, tenor,
and bass parts. This is a great learning tool!
See what MP3
Players are available. EFY
Albums - I fell in
love with the EFY albums at College. I've
since worked a number of sessions as a counselor
for EFY and only came to love them more. Check
out the EFY
index I've created. Or, you could just
go for the "Best of EFY" albums
one,
two,
or three.
80 Most Requested LDS Songs
- Hmmm... I wonder what they are! This print
music is a top seller on LDS living and
includes piano/vocal arrangements of the songs.
Paul Cardall - OK,
I don't know Paul personally, but his hymn
renditions are great! I purchased both Vol
1 and Vol
2 for my Mom as a mother's Day present.
Great Stuff! Evidently there is also a songbook
available. MOTAB
- Of course I had to include some Mormon
Tabernacle Choir!
Write
a missionary online
- There are a number of missions that now
allow you to email your missionary. But just
in case you still can't, you may want to try
the Dear
Elder site. Become
a missionary Pen Pal
- You can do this from the same Dear
Elder site. I've never done it personally,
but seems interesting! Missionary
ties - Looking for
ties
with Moroni on them or maybe just the CTR
symbol? There are quite a few different varieties.
JEWELRY
and CLOTHES
CTR
rings - What kind
are you looking for? They are all here! Tiny-Ties
Onesies - OK, these
were just too cute to pass up! I just had
to post
a link to them. Makes a great unique gift
at baby showers! Modest
Prom Dresses -
I've decided that everything imaginable is
available on the Internet! You just have to
find it. Yes, this site has a section dedicated
to Modest
Prom Dresses. EFY
Clothes and Stuff
- Found here.
Stuff
for the guys - Tie
pins, oil
vials, and ties.
GAMES
and ENTERTAINMENT
Scriptures
on Palm - Found a
great site for downloading these. It is found
here.
Settlers
of Zarahemla - This
really is a rip-off of the popular Settler
of Cattan game. Although I have never
played Settlers
of Zarahemla, I love Settlers of Cattan,
and they are almost identical.

CHAT & COMMUNITIES
Youth
Chat - A very nice low-key
chat and discussion board that I found - younglds.com/discus
- It seems pretty simple to use. LSD
Singles - If you are over
18, then LDS
singles might be more your style. I used this
site back in my single days and actually made a
good number of friends through this service.

LINKS
EFY
home page -There
are tons of EFY sites out there for
many different tribes, groups, and so
on. I've put together an EFY
home page that will direct you to
the "main" CES EFY page as
well as other useful EFY locations. EFYphotos.com
- Another site that I've put together.
This one obviously is based on EFY
photos. It's a place where participants
can view and share photos of EFY. EFY
Memories -
Yet another site of mine! This one is
a bit older, but it's fun to see what
was said and done at EFY. It brings
back those feelings and memories
of EFY.
SCRIPTURES
Vintage
Books of Mormon
- I'm amazed at how many vintage Books
of Mormon are available
on Ebay! Every time I look, there
is almost always at least one real old
one. They usually go for a pretty high
price, as would be assumed. Wouldn't
that be great to have one displayed
in your home? Maybe some day. 1830
Book of Mormon Replica
- Well, if you don't have the cash for
an actual 1830 version, maybe a replica
version would do. It's at a much
more reasonable price! Missionary
Book of Mormon
- This is the basic
version that missionaries currently
use to give out to their investigators.
They are sold through the LDS church
distribution center for 2 bucks or so.
Many different languages are available.
The Online
Distribution Center is really neat
all together, if you haven't seen it
yet. Order
or Renew the Ensign Online
- Yes, that is also now
available online. How nice! General
Conference
- Conference talks are available for
download
in MP3 format on the church's web site.
You can also access
them as text. The archive currently
goes back to 1997. This section seems
to be updated regularly. See what MP3
Players are available. Scriptures

color pencils, and color pencil refills
and the scriptures themselves. All available
