On Sunday I was released from Young Women's. I have known for a couple weeks and have
filled our house with tears on multiple occasions (poor Ben). I love working with the Young Women, they
have such a special joy and radiance in their countenance. They are amazing examples to me and I am
constantly amazed and shocked by their testimonies and gospel knowledge.
In July of last year our Stake was chosen to be a pilot
group for a new Youth curriculum, which started this January. This curriculum takes the teaching back to
the basics; there are not teaching manuals (just topics and optional layouts)
and the instructors are encouraged to lead a discussion but let the girls share
and participate more. It has been
amazing watching the growth of the girls as they have begun sharing their
testimonies and participating more in lessons.
I have felt the spirit so strongly and have personally learned so
much. I am sad to be leaving these
inspiring lessons and the simple yet profound testimonies of these Young Women.
I am also sad because I have enjoyed spending time with
them; they help fill me up with a youthful exuberance. I have become close with all the girls and
have really developed friendships. I
know that I can still talk to them and stay in contact with them but now they
are not forced to talk to me (ha). I am
excited to watch them as they grow up and experience more of life.
