I dont have one right now, although they are trying to call a new YW council. I hope I get something good. I know Heavenly Father will choose what is right for me.

What a great story and thanks for tagging me!
Someone was telling me a cool story yesterday. He said him and his friend used to go see a particular band every year when they came in town. But when he went off to college in Canada, he wasn't able to go because of the long drive and a test he had the next morning. So while he was sitting in his room that night, his friend skyped him and held his arms up for an over an hour so he could see the concert and "be there with him." What a great example of friendship!

My greatests blessings came from the Lord.

Those seem like good ways to help her.  I would say helping her to learn doctrine should come slowly, perhaps through example and reading the Book of Mormon with her (if she's interested), or the New Testament if her family won't let her read the Book of Mormon.  Do these things naturally, as part of your friendship and interaction (rather than forcing them or being in a rush to get them all in).  Building the friendship will be a big help, I think.
For a young person, 1 year is a significant percentage of their total experience.  The older you get, the smaller that percentage is (and the smaller it seems).  Thus, to you and her right now, waiting until she's 18 to be able to join or attend church may seem an eternity.  But take my word for it, it's not that long, and it's OK.  There's no condemnation associated with the limitations your parents have placed on you - and enormous blessing promised for those who honor father and mother.  Be patient.  Do the best you can now - there is no shortage of good a person can do without church attendance.  As long as neither of you gives up in following Christ's example, it will be well in the end.

Ask her why an infinite deity who upholds worlds without end, an eternal civilizationin, has arbitrarily decided that she is not welcome in his kingdom. Especially when he sent her to earth in the first place, to enter into his kingdom. (this statement is for effect, don't actually ask her this)
Let's read from the book of Moses, chapter 7:62-63
This is about the restoration and the last days before the millennium.
"And righteousness will I send down out of heaven; and truth will I send forth out of the earth, to bear testimony of mine Only Begotten; his resurrection from the dead; yea, and also the resurrection of all men; and righteousness and truth will I cause to sweep the earth as with a flood, to gather out mine elect from the four quarters of the earth, unto a place which I shall prepare, an Holy City, that my people may gird up their loins, and be looking forth for the time of my coming; for there shall be my tabernacle, and it shall be called Zion, a New Jerusalem.
And the Lord said unto Enoch: Then shalt thou and all thy city meet them there, and we will receive them into our bosom, and they shall see us; and we will fall upon their necks, and they shall fall upon our necks, and we will kiss each other;"
This is his attitude towards his saints. And he has commanded everyone to become saints, In this life or the hereafter.
Now here's his attitude towards the wicked.
"And it came to pass that the God of heaven looked upon the residue of the people, and he wept; and Enoch bore record of it, saying: How is it that the heavens weep, and shed forth their tears as the rain upon the mountains?
And Enoch said unto the Lord: How is it that thou canst weep, seeing thou art holy, and from all eternity to all eternity?
And were it possible that man could number the particles of the earth, yea, millions of earths like this, it would not be a beginning to the number of thy creations; and thy curtains are stretched out still; and yet thou art there, and thy bosom is there; and also thou art just; thou art merciful and kind forever; ... how is it thou canst weep?
The Lord said unto Enoch: Behold these thy brethren; they are the workmanship of mine own hands, and I gave unto them their knowledge, in the day I created them; and in the Garden of Eden, gave I unto man his agency;
And unto thy brethren have I said, and also given commandment, that they should love one another, and that they should choose me, their Father; but behold, they are without affection, and they hate their own blood;
And the fire of mine indignation is kindled against them; and in my hot displeasure will I send in the floods upon them, for my fierce anger is kindled against them.
Behold, I am God; Man of Holiness is my name; Man of Counsel is my name; and Endless and Eternal is my name, also.
But behold, their sins shall be upon the heads of their fathers; Satan shall be their father, and misery shall be their doom; and the whole heavens shall weep over them, even all the workmanship of mine hands; wherefore should not the heavens weep, seeing these shall suffer?
But behold, these which thine eyes are upon shall perish in the floods; and behold, I will shut them up; a prison have I prepared for them.
And [mine Only Begotten] hath pled before my face. Wherefore, he suffereth for their sins; inasmuch as they will repent in the day that my Chosen shall return unto me, and until that day they shall be in torment;
Wherefore, for this shall the heavens weep, yea, and all the workmanship of mine hands." - Moses 7:28-40 (give or take)
To claim for herself that she has no place in the kingdom seems like a statement from inexperience (it's even contrary to the Commandments.) She needs to learn the attributes and characteristics of the Father and the Son.
Funny thing, little does she know, that if she was the only person who would ever hearken unto His voice, Christ still would come, and would still suffer, if it meant she would be saved.

Would she enjoy participating in this forum?  There are many who will be willing to teach her the phi. . . about her role and opportunity as it pertains to Gods Kingdom.
In all seriousness, when I was a teenager, I loved participating in discussion/chat groups like this.  I suppose I still do so perhaps that's not saying much.  But you are here, so if you like it she might also.  Definitely can build camaraderie and faith being able to chat and discuss gospel principles, especially with other limitations like those you are currently experiencing.  I've always been very studious in the gospel; both by interest and need. But I've stepped it up even more since joining the forum!  Got to keep up with the likes of @Vort, @The Folk Prophet, @Carborendum, @zil, etc, who all seem to have been here forever, and to have much gospel wisdom and knowledge to share.  Plus all the other wonderful insightful members (who would take me all day to list off so forgive me for abstaining).  Anyway, you are also here which could make it more fun for her as well.  Just a thought.  

A couple weeks ago, I was hanging out with the YW in my ward. One girl is not a member of the church, but of course, we always welcome her to come to YW's with us. One of the girls had (accidentally, although it could have been easily prevented) damaged church property. She showed us where it was and was asking us for advice on what to do. Me, being the sarcastic person I am, told her that she had lost most of her brownie points in heaven. We all got a good laugh out of that, until the non-lds girl spoke up, telling me that she had no place in God's kingdom. It took me a moment to register what she had just said. I have always felt apart of God's kingdom, so I wasnt sure what to say to her. I reasurred her by teeling her not to be silly- of course you have a place in God's kingdom! Our Heavenly Father loves all his children, and that means you too.
But as time passes, I ponder on how I can help to make her feel apart of God's kingdom. Do I help teach her about mormon doctrine? Do I pray for her? Do I teach her how to pray? Do I share my testimony with her?
Neither of us can attend church due to our parents, so how can I help her?

True true.
Well I see acts of service everyday so its hard to choose just one.
My parents do acts of service everyday to raise me and my family, and they make so many sacrafices for us!
Anyways, one specific act of service that really stood out to me is this: This year at girl's camp a girl who was new to neighborhood was invited to come to camp. She isnt a member of the church and neither is her family. Anyways when we got to camp she was having a really hard time being away from her family, and she felt that she didnt fit in amongst the other LDS girls. One of our wilees (an awesome, funny, kind, and all around great one) took her in under her wing and even invited to let her stay in yhe wilee tent with her. The rest of camp the girl had  great time!
I just see these simple acts of service that can really affect someone. I know that Heavenly Father wants us to show our love to him by showing love to others. 
Thanks for tagging me @TheCraCraMormon
I think I've tagged quite the amount of people, no?
Here, instead of tagging people I'll challenge everyone who has already shared an act of service to share another!

Everyday in our lives we see acts of service. Some acts of service go unseen, and some make a big impact on someones day, or even their lives. 
I thought it would be fun to start a tag where you recognize an act of service, however you'd like. Maybe share a story, or just say I saw so and so do something great today...
If the service was done for you, maybe write how it impacted you.
It can be recent, or old.
Everytime you post something, tag someone to share theirs on this thread.
I'd like to tag a bunch of random people to start this! :

Galatians 5:13
"You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free, but do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love."
"May we show our love and appreciation for the Savior's atoning sacrifice through our simple, compassionate acts of service." -Elder M. Russel Ballard

Really?  That's your advice?  What happens when her clothes start to stink?  Or disintegrate? I'm thinking she should change.  Usually daily.  Every other day might be acceptable under some circumstances....
I am so not going back to Canada if this is the way things are up there.

Thanks @Sunday21

Woops, I was focussed on the wrong side of the screen and hit the Quote button instead of the Like button. Thanks Tess now I'm smiling too  

Full, transparent, embarrassing disclosure - It was a battle tactic I had learned online, and I figured Vort and I were doing battle.  I've been arguing online for decades, and the hardest nuts to crack, the most fearsome opponents I had faced, were those who didn't take offence and who stayed polite.  When someone stayed at a level that had me realize that I had sunk to another level, well, it was like a fatal blow to my inflated online ego.  
I wish I could say I was coming from a place of kindness and love.  As the years have gone by, I have actually approached that place, but I sure the heck wasn't there a few years ago.  
So there's me noticing acts of service I've received - The friendly atheists and counter-cult evangelicals and lefties who responded to my arguments with calm respect helped me earn my black belt in online Ghandi-Fu.

We love you! Never change. ❤️ 

Lets break down the Word of Wisdom.  In practical applications there are two parts.  The Do Nots (No Coffee, no Tea, etc), and then all the rest.
The do nots are very clear with what the church means and expects.  All the rest falls in the category of "Teaching Correct Principles an governing ourselves" and it even says "Adapted to the weakest"   So what does that mean?  It means that you are expected to follow the Do Nots and then study it out and pray about the rest on what the Lord would have you do personally (ie Seek personal revelation on the matter)
In the case of some members they might be fighting other spiritual fires and have only the Do Nots in place and don't have time for the rest.  As long as they are trying to grow and master what God would have them work on then its ok. 
Some members might have some medical condition (diabetes, Crohns, etc) and need more care in their dietary selections.
Other might find that their body has negative reactions to certain things without having a diagnosed medical conditions, and work to avoid them.
Other might through study and thought might try various diets to include or exclude certain categories
Assuming that you/they are studying it out and taking your choice to God in prayer its all good.
The mistakes that are commonly made are:  1 Not studying it out.  2 Not taking it to God in prayer.  3 Mistaking a Personal Revelation on what you should be doing for a public revelation on what everyone should be doing
That third one causes a lot of discussion.. you are seeing glimmers of it here on this thread between Meat Eaters and Vegetarian/Vegans.  Both are potentially right and both are potentially wrong, because it is highly individualized and you can't speak for anyone but yourself (but boy do we sure like to try).
When it comes to the Church and things like temple recommends the they want the Do Nots and they want you to do whatever it is the Lord would have you do.  But baring a revelation to them of what God has told you, they have no way of knowing so they take your word for it.
 
 

Oh, wow, thanks for the tag, @my two cents! I didn't notice this thread before!
Acts of service that I've noticed? A lot for me lately. Now that I'm in Rexburg, I'm trying to get my life together and I'm basically starting at the level of a 16 year old as far as capabilities. I have the drive and the desire to go out and do things, to get started and get growing but I'm still so dependent on everyone else. I consider it an act of service that everyone is so patient with me. My aunt and uncle have been crucial at this time, even as they try to get settled in this new city themselves, trying to keep up with their girls needing to go to activities and such, and trying to get familiar with people in their ward and their new calling. And yet, my aunt Wendy has driven me everywhere I needed to go to get job applications here in town and once I got my permit, she's been with me to help me practice and learn driving, even though I know it is stressful and hard for her to do so(I'm not terrible but not very good at it yet).
My cousins who live here have shown me acts of service by taking me to the singles ward and FHE and different activities on campus to help me get involved and to meet new people. My aunt and uncle have also commissioned me to paint a mural for their daughter's room to help me keep busy while I wait to get my track assignment and get a paying job.
I tag @Vort and @MormonGator!
