Be Still Our Hearts.....

Our Dear Girls -

Two years ago, we knew this time would come. But what we didn't know, is just how hard it would be when it did. When we were first called to serve you all, we were overwhelmed with the responsibility we felt. Would we know what to do? Would we get to know each other quickly? Would you love us and welcome us? Where were we to begin, and what were all of the things we were supposed to do? Funny thing is....all of those fears were quickly put to rest. Yes, we learned what to do. Yes, we got to know each other. Yes, you loved and welcomed us. And where did we begin? By loving you immediately and the rest just fell into place. You captured our hearts from the very beginning - where now, you will hold a very special place....never to be forgotten, and never to be replaced. You have been such a bright spot in all our lives.We have accomplished great things together through service. We have made many happy memories together by laughing, dancing, singing, cheering and talking. We have felt the spirit together regularly and by doing so, have strengthened each others testimonies. We have bonded so tightly, that we will always be family. We want you to know, that though we are leaving - we are never very far. Our doors are always open and waiting for you to walk in. Our phones are always on and waiting for the call. We will continue to watch you and love you. We will pray for the best in your lives always. Stay close to your Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ. You will find the greatest happiness by doing so. We love you with all our hearts. It has been a pleasure and complete honor to have served you. Such a gift. Thank you for letting us be a part of your lives and for touching ours in a way that no one else ever could. You will always be our Girls.
With love,
Your Young Women's LeadersYW's Presidency
