Young Women in Excellence

This last Wednesday, November 12, we had our Young Women in Excellence Program. Our theme for the night was "S.T.A.R. - Stand for Truth and Righteousness." We talked about how each of us has the Light of Christ in our lives and as we work on our Personal Progress, we gain a greater testimony of the Savior, and can share that light with others. All of the Young Women who earned their medallions in the last few months, shared some of their experiences along with their testimonies. It was wonderful! The leaders made necklaces for each of the girls along with our scripture for the night - 3Nephi 18:24, to remind each of them to hold up their light and follow the example the Savior had set for them. We finished the night off sharing all of the girls displays of talents and things they are working on this year with our Parents, Bishopric and Stake Leaders. Sugar cookies sprinkled with all of the value colors and punch were served! It definitely was an evening filled with Excellence. Our Young Women are awesome and we learn so much from them each week. There is great talent among our group! Thank you to all who came and supported us and to all who participated in the program. It couldn't have been better!
