My Amazing Girls!!!

Once again, I am so impressed with the girls that I worked with in the YW. They are the funniest, sweetiest and the most amazing group of young women I have ever associated with.

My week has been choatic to begin with and I almost felt like I was losing control of it. I was glad that I got the help from the girls last Wed night with Lizzy M (Laurel), and Erika M's (YW President) farewell party. The girls showed up one by one around 6:30pm, and they put themselves to work right away. I only gave them a little instruction, and they decorated the whole room all by themselves.

Jessie and Sarah (bought in a cake)went out to the other classroom and looked for chalks to decorate the blackboard since I don't have keys to the library.
Parsine helped pull out the plasticware from the closet, and set up the table with the girls.
Rachael helped taking the food from the kitchen to the YW's room, and she also kept us informed of when Lizzy and Erika showed up.
Jeannie (bought breadsticks) and Sienna (bought cookies) helped with the water, and taping the streamers onto the ceiling and each corner.
Ashley and Jenna brought in yummy cookies to share, and set up the table.
Alyssa helped set up the table too even though she lives far away in Doylestown.

I am so touched to see the girls working together, giggling and laughing as they planned for, and carried out this activity. (It was their original idea - to throw a party, bring in dishes and recipes to share, and they stick with it till the end.) I am just so proud of them. Of course, there were times that things didn't turn out as they wished but the girls would discuss with one and other to get the problem solved. Incident like when the streamers kept falling off the ceiling because I forgot to bring in tape, and Jeannie and Sienna were stuck with the scrapebook tape. Jessie, this silly girl apologized to me of bringing in only six donuts because no one reminded her of the party (her family was out of town last week), same with Alyssa - she was going to bring in yum yum pudding, but she overslept and didn't have enough time to make it. They both felt terrible, but I laughed and reasurred my girls that we've plenty of food that evening. They were just the cuttiest thing on earth!

I enjoyed watching these girls grow, and I can't wait to see them off the college, marry in the temple, and holding leadership position some day whether it's at school, at work or in the church. I wish them to know that they had much potential that Heavenly Father has for them, and they are loved by their parents, leaders and most importaly their Father in Heaven. They are the BEST, and I love them with all my heart!

On a different note, Lizzy (YW) and Erika will be so missed!!!! These two wonderful sisters had shown me in many ways how a loving, caring, inspired leaders should be like. I've learned so much from them, especially Erika! I just love the way how she handle the girls. She is just incredible!!! The same with Amy G, and Christine G.. They are just fabulous ladies to work with, and had volunteered many hours of services in many ways. I hope to stay with the group, but I know we might got a release soon.
