April Newsletter

Some of our YW were able to attend the YW general meeting at the conference center last month. It was a wonderful meeting with lots of encouragement and guidance for the YW to follow. Sister Dibb’s talk was about being of good courage, Sister Cook reminded us to never, never, never give up, and Sister Dalton helped the YW to remember who they are. President Uchtdorf’s talk was the one most of the YW talked about afterwards; he called his talk “Happily Ever After” and gave some ideas and testimony on how each of them can have their own happily ever after. It was a great experience to be able to be in the Prophet’s presence and hear from our YW leaders!

We are all excited for Trek and should be preparing for it from June 23-25. The YW have been encouraged to start walking the hills in the neighborhood to prepare physically for it. They also will need some pioneer clothing to wear. These can be made, borrowed or purchased at DI. They will need a bonnet, and 2 skirts/blouses or 2 dresses. It will be a memorable experience and we hope all will be able to attend.

We are also preparing for ward girls camp to be help July 8-10. We are having a girls camp certification activity on the last Wed. of each month to help the girls get their certification done. It is important that they attend on these nights so we can get them all caught up to their current year of certification. Sister Julie Bettinson is serving as our new YW camp director and we are so excited to have her with us!
