Young Women's President

Growing up I always loved my Young Women's program and the leaders, yet I always thought they were older women trying to fit in and be young. My eyebrows still raise up when I think of some activities they did! Well two weeks ago I was released from being the 16-17 year old Sunday School teacher to being the Beehive advisor in Young Women's. (12-13 yr old girls) I was really excited, but with Stake Conference last weekend today would have been my first week and lesson. Instead the Lord decided that He wanted to change my calling to Young Women's President. WOW! What a huge responsibility!
So, today I looked back at the YW leaders I had and think "they weren't old and they were just acting themselves, because everyone is young at heart!" Hehehe I find it so funny that your opinions and feelings change so quickly when you put on other peoples shoes. I am so excited to serve in this new calling and am looking forward to getting to know the girls, going to girls camp, and helping them in any way that I can! I just hope I have the energy to keep up with it all!!

Inspite of the nervousness of the responsibility for these young women, always remember the Lord has his trust and confidence in you to help, teach and protect these young girls. You will be a great leader.

Julie, the YW are going to have so much fun with you! I am sure that the newness is overwhelming, but you will settle in. This is your fault you know. You drive a van and bake cute cakes! You were screaming for a calling like this! :) That will teach you to be crafty.
