Latter-dayVillage has been around, in various forms, since 1997, providing teaching resources for Seminary, Primary, Young Women, Sunday School and Relief Society teachers and leaders.

Over the years we've gotten excellent feedback from our visitors and subscribers.  These are the things that keep us pushing forward with LDV.  Here is a little sampling of comments:

When I was first called to seminary 4 years ago I felt overwhelmed at the task.  I quickly was introduced to Latter-day Village, and honestly it has been a life saver time and time again.

Sincerely,
Michele McKee

I have benefited greatly these last three years that I have been subscribing to LD-V.

Best wishes,

You have created such a great work.  I've cherished my
subscription, even though I've only been a substitute seminary teacher.  It
has enhanced my spiritual life.  Thank you all for your vision.

"I just want to take the time to say THANK YOU!!! I'm a new member. My calling in the church is now 2nd counselor in Relief Society (Enrichment) so I thought while I had time, I would let you know how much you have blessed me with your ideas. You are truly doing God's work."

God bless you, Debbie Clark

"This being the anniversary of Jesus' final week, I'm using the NT Trading Cards, Final Week set to keep my students thinking about what they've learned. I have used them throughout the year, and love them. Thanks for all the great ideas I've found! Keep up the great work!"

"I love the Book of Mormon Wooden people! I already have one set and am adding two more so my Seminary students can have fun doing what I have been doing this summer, reading with my big felt map spread out, moving the Nephites and Lamanites around according to the narrative. The action finally makes sense to me, and even doctrinal points become clearer -- like why we should be well fortified when the enemy is sneaking up from the wilderness and trying every entrance… I was already planning to use the map, but the little wooden people are the perfect accessory. A simple, brilliant idea!"

Thanks!

Dear Debra,
I just wanted to send  a quick note to thank you for taking over this job of running "Latter-Day Village".  I have been teaching for over 8 years now and this site has been a life saver for me.  I am not very creative and I have learned so much from the many people who share their ideas on here and the wonderful helps I have bought over the years just keep on helping.  Thank you again.

I had a  very hard class to teach (large, with chatty 14-16 yr olds).  The lesson helps were the only thing that kept me sane.  Thank you for this great service, I work full time and am very busy with my grandkids so this service has been a great blessing in my life.  Thank you again.

Sincerely,

Julia Williams

I have had many callings in primary over the years but I started using your
site when I was music leader one year.  I have absolutely no musical talent
whatsoever (I could not even conduct!) so I was very glad of your site to
help me through that calling.  I think that was the year I was most in touch
with you as I wanted you to know how helpful your site had been to me and
our primary!!  I am primary president now in our ward in Dublin and I still
use things from it every year.  I am really grateful for all the work you
do.
Kind regards,

Gina

I'm no longer a seminary teacher but have recommended your site on several occasions and will continue to point folks toward your resources.  Appreciate your assistance.

Thanks,
Brian

**********************

I failed to say how extremely helpful I find your site. I don't think I could have done my seminary calling without it! The membership is worth every penny! So I would be very disappointed if it didn't renew.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I just want you know how very pleased I am with your online store and service. We are currently living in Japan serving in the US Army and I ordered some seminary supplies one week ago and received it all today. I have never received anything so quickly from the states. You are wonderful. Everything was there, packaged carefully and so fast!

Much appreciation,
K. Nelson

You are WONDERFUL!!!! I was just put in as the Young Women's President and the New Beginnings hasn't been planned.

I just want to tell you how much I appreciate your site. I have been teaching seminary this year to 9 fantastic young men. This is my first year teaching. I feel a great sense of comfort knowing that after I have studied my scriptures, and read the lesson in the handbook, that I can then look at the wonderful ideas on your site to help make the lesson the best I can for these boys. I have been fearful that you would shut down your site and we would no longer have this great source to assist us in our great responsibility. Thank you so much for easing my anxiety. Thank you so much for all you do. ~Karalene

Thanks for all the extra goodies!  I love your stuff!!! ~ Holly Tew

Dear Debra,

Thank you for ANOTHER wonderful year of seminary lessons with the aid of your website.  I did use it for suggestions to zing up my lessons.  I have been released from seminary after 9 years of teaching.  When I get the next calling, I will keep you in mind for lesson helps.

Thanks again for EVERYTHING!!  I recommend your website to those who ask me for help with teaching.

That you so much, everything downloaded perfectly! I have really been enjoying your site for a while and have been so impressed with everything you have done. Started with your Primary Site and then I was called to teach in RS. Keep up the good work, you make me look good.

Thanks for all your hard work!  I don't know what I'd do without Latter-day Village.  It is really great and a real helper, especially when you run out of time -- it's great to get other Seminary teacher's ideas. Brenda Elmer
