PROGRESS PATH:
Set up a game in the ward building or a park with a path. Have adult leaders or priesthood helpers, like the bishopric or dads, stand along the path. Create situation cards to be held by the helpers along the path. Have each youth carry a sturdy sack or backpack (they can have 5 or more packs and take turns going
down the path). Have them go along the path slowly, picking cards held by the path helpers. For example, the first helper might give a sin card like “Lied to parents about where you were going.” The second card might be a repentance card like “Felt feelings of remorse,” or “Bore my testimony to a friend.” Have helpers put the sin stones (stones with the word “sin” written on them) in their pack as they pass the post. At the few repentance posts, they can take out a stone. The last eight stops are the eight steps of repentance cards, followed by a card with a quote by Spencer W. Kimball (below). Take out stones as they pass. Roast marshmallows or have toast and cocoa, and discuss how it feels to get rid of mistakes and recommit, staying on the path that leads to eternal joy.

President Spencer W. Kimball stated: “Since all of us sin in greater or lesser degree, we are all in need of constant repentance, of continually raising our sights and our performance. One can hardly do the commandments of the Lord in a day, a week, a month or a year. This is an effort which must be extended through the remainder of one’s years” (The Miracle of Forgiveness [Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1969], p. 202).

BRING SUNSHINE INTO YOUR LIFE WORKSHOP:
Have youth share ideas on how they can repent and find happiness.
