Young Women in Excellence

Back: Sunnie, Kandace, Bishop Buck, Sierra

Front: Ty, Crystal, Lexi, Sam, Mariah, Keyonna

Tonight the South Stake put on the annual Young Women in Excellence program. It was an awesome program, testimonies were shared, beautiful songs were sung, we viewed slide shows and really felt the spirit. Keyonna and Kandace both received recognition for values they have passed off, and Keyonna was part of the movie they showed, where she was interviewed out at the temple. We are so proud of our girls and all the hard work they are doing in Personal Progress. Next year we will have every girl up getting awarded!!

Service Project

Tonight's activity we joined up with the Young Men and did a service project. We helped the boy scouts by placing food donation bags on door steps in our ward boundaries. People can fill the bags with canned food and the boy scouts will come back, gather them up, and donate the food.

We met at the church for opening exercises and had donuts and water with the boys then split off to our designated areas.

The YW split up into 2 different groups to try and cover more ground and keep it a little safer. It was pretty cold and these girls had a lot of walking ground to cover but they all did GREAT! We are thankful for the big hearts that these girls have and all they do to help their community.

Sorry, Sister Hibbard forgot her camera so we didn't have any "action pictures"! Next week for sure!!

Personal Progress Activity

Tonight Sister Gillihan helped us with our "Divine Nature" goal! We learned that we all need to work on the talents that Heavenly Father has blessed us with. One might be cooking... So we made some yummy treats - corn flake crunch and rice krispy treats.

The girls had a blast in the kitchen, they were all on their own. They were given the recipe and the ingredients needed and went at it. They even cleaned on their own!

The treats turned out delicious! Thanks Sister Gillihan!

Happy Birthday to Crystal and Mariah!

Unfortunately Sister Bagley has moved to California. It was a really good move for her family but we are all so sad about it. She has been such a fantastic leader in the Young Women's program and she will be dearly missed. For her last activity Crystal and her dad, Leo, brought in some authentic Lumpia (Philippine Spring Rolls). Then we did some manicures, celebrated Crystal & Mariah's birthdays, and played some going away games for Sister Bagley. Each of the girls went around and said why they are thankful for Sister Bagley. Of corse there were some tears... ;)

Look at the size of our YW! We have grown so much!

Here is our group on Sister Bagley's last Sunday. Sister Bagley : We will miss you tremendously. Your testimony has poured out onto all of us and we are all stronger by being able to be in this program with you. We wish you well on your new adventures... just PLEASE remember to come and visit us often! We LOVE you!!!!

On a very exciting and happy note - we are so thrilled that Sister Rachel Yanke is our new president! Could we ask for a better person to fill the spot?! We know that Sister Yanke loves all the girls to death and she will be such a great leader!
