Tonight we took all of the Youth going on Trek to Ensign Peak. It was on this Peak that Brigham Young stood with other leaders of the church and picked the spot for the Salt Lake Temple. He had been shown this place by Joseph Smith in a vision. The Deseret News refers to it as "Utah's Mt. Sinai." It is a sacred and beautiful spot overlooking the whole Salt Lake Valley. We had a great time, and the kids hiked it in 12 minutes! Bro. Morris talked to them about the importance of the Peak and then after taking some pics, we made our way back down, loaded up the cars and headed to Brigham Young's grave. A group of some of our other girls helped out at the Utah Food Bank tonight, giving service there.
This blog was designed to be a place where Young Women, Parents, and Leaders can check in to see what is happening with the Hansen Meadows Ward Young Women. There will be monthly activity updates and pictures, information about upcoming events, and anything else exciting that is going on. We hope this will be a great way for everyone to stay involved and get to know one another! Thanks for checking in!

We are Daughters of our Heavenly Father, who loves us and we love Him. We will "stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places" (Mosiah 18:9) as we strive to live the Young Women values, which are:
Faith Divine Nature Individual Worth Knowledge Choice and Accountability Good Works Integrity and Virtue
We believe as we come to accept and act upon these values, we will be prepared to strengthen home and family, make and keep sacred covenants, receive the ordinances of the temple, and enjoy the blessings of exaltation.
