New Beginnings



This is for you, mom! So my mom has always had a special place in her heart for the YW program (maybe b/c she has been a ward YW President three times and was Stake YW President for 9 years)!  Through her diligence and hard work I too hold a special place for this program and was super excited when our YW presidency asked us, as advisors to help with New Beginnings. :)  They did it a new and different way this year.... all the current YW were to create and design a table explaining a value to teach to the new girls coming into the program this year.  It was a wonderful idea and the night was a huge success! The girls designed some beautiful tables while helping their fellow sisters learn more about the YW program they will soon be taking part in.  



                                                        Welcome soon-to-be Beehives!
  Janette was such a trooper; she was sick but still made it to this special night!
  Kaitlyn and I!  She wrote a poem on Individual Worth and displayed it along with some yummy brownies, digital picture frame pics, and a sheri dew quote!!! 
     Jessica and the Divine Nature table!!
 Emily and the Good Works table!  (I loved that she included cleaning supplies on her table, my kind of gal!)
Shelley, Lindsay and Cheyenne with the Choice and Accountability table......Caramel Chocolate Kisses or Oranges?....... hmmm..... 
           Integrity table with Katie, Amber, Emily

 the value that has been added since I was in YW...... Virtue!!!
            Our hardworking YW Presidency!  I love these ladies!!! 
                                          YW advisors!  What an inspiring program and great night; I came home motivated to be what our Stake YW President calls a "100%-er!" 100% scripture study, prayers and smiles:)
