Explain the whole Reflect and Review (its purpose, explain each segment, and how would it be an effective Reflect and Review)
Reflect and Review is a time each evening for the youth to ponder and process the information and experiences of their day and ultimately to recognize what Heavenly Father is trying to teach them individually.
An effective Reflect and Review requires the guidance of the Holy Ghost, who carries truth into the hearts of the youth and inspires them to change. Your primary responsibility is to create an environment where the Spirit can have the most impact.
