CHANGING OF THE GUARD...

So today I was released as YW President. After 3 1/2 years I can truly say today is bittersweet for me. I am really looking forward to having more time... but I will miss the YW and the leaders I got to serve with. It has been an awesome journey for me and I will never forget the great experiences and some of the trials I have had during it!

Here are some ( but not all) of my favorites during this calling:

1. Learning that the Lord knows what's best for us more than we do.
2. Four FABULOUS years at girls camp! (this could be a section all it's own!)
3. Being able to be in YW for Matt's last 2 years of YM.
4. Being in YW with two of my daughters.
5. Making up songs to skits from Enchanted with the Laurels.
6. sewing pajama bottoms
7. Rootbeer float fight
8. Doing something SPAZY to shock the YW or the leaders! ha ha!
9. talent shows
10. firesides
11. Youth conferences
12. AWESOME stake YW leaders as great role models to me!
13. Sunday lessons.
14. Learning so much from a great Bishop!
15. Seeing each YW grow in the gospel
16. Tri ward dances.
17. Grammie dinner
18. CR ward YW summer super activity
19. Being stretched out of my comfort zone
20. My testimony growing!!

IT'S BEEN GREAT! I am now going to be an RS teacher and I am really excited about this! I haven't been in RS for FIVE years! :) YEA for change... it's a good thing.
