lizzy12 Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 (edited) I thought we could try a little experiment with members on LDS.net. I think we should have a traveling notebook, members who wish to receive this notebook and contribute would get the book mailed to them and then contribute to it in someway a picture of their town, their testimony, a random story. It doesn’t have to be church related although it should be appropriate. I think the best way to keep track of the book is for those interested to PM me their addresses so I can compile a route. I will then send the book of and the person who receives it would then keep the book for at most 2 weeks-any longer and I think it could get lost and forgotten. Once they are finished with it they PM me and I will send them the addresses of who is next on the list and so on so forth. Maybe by the end we can send it to someone who can bring it to an LDS.net get together. Is anyone interested or have any questions ? I don’t want to seem controlling in this but I think there needs to be some order so those interested can receive it. Those interested comment here AND PM me. I think this could either turn out as a failure or as a fun activity depending on cooperation with those on the list. So let's make it fun !:) :) Edited April 19, 2010 by lizzy12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbybug Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 PinkCow (i believe) tried this up a couple years back, and the major problem seemed that nobody wanted to give their address to a bunch of strangers on the internet. It was a good idea in theory, but I believe it ended up in being a blog instead of a travelling notebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizzy12 Posted April 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Yea, i thought about that part too..which is why the whole "PM me and I will give you next address thing happens." Maybe I could try this in my ward and we could travel and give it to someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbybug Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 we did it all through pm, and i know she had issues with getting people who were interested. in your ward would be a great idea. or even in your stake, and pass it through to all the young women. what a gem that would be!

Gwen Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 i would not participate in something like that due to giving out my home address to strangers. please be careful. in your ward or among ppl you already know in real life might be fun.

ADoyle90815 Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 It would be fun for those you know IRL, but it's not a good idea to give strangers on the internet your home address, especially if you have children. Even PM's can be risky since boards can be hacked into, and the wrong person can find your home address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy_do46 Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 We did this in Primary. The form was a Bear :0) with a packback that had a travel log in it. We sent out several bears. Only one little bear came back to us. We heard from Primarys around the world. That little bear was passed from one person to another. Primary Bear's travel arrangements were direct. The person who was given our little pal made sure he was given to another who would keep him going. Remember I told you we sent out several bears. One made the journey and came back to us when the travel log was full. I always wondered what happen to those other bears. This was a great experience for those children.

zippy_do46 Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Oh, Gwen did you get one of little Bears? lolol The Children actually made up stories about what happen to them. Lets just say out of the mouth of Babes! lol After some wild stories they decided that some little boy or girl needed our Primary Bear so bad that Primary Bear decided to stay...:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
