Last Blog

This is going to be my last blog. Since I technically am not an 18th ward young woman anymore! I know I didn't quite get to blog about all of you and I'm sorry about that. I know that all of you are in good hands. I am going to miss each of you, but just because I'm not an 18th ward young woman anymore, doesn't mean I can't still hang out with you! I would like you all to know that each of you has strengthened my testimony in different ways. I'm sad that I am not going to be in your ward anymore, but I am glad to be able to make new friends in a new ward.

Maddie!

Hurray! One week of January down! Three to go!
This weeks spotlight is................................................ Maddie! Maddie has been in our ward about a month!
Her greatest fear is snakes, being kidnapped, and alligators!
If there was a fire and she only had time to grab 3 things she would grab her journal, scrapbooks, and ballet painting in her room.
If she could marry a Disney character it would be Prince Eric from the Little Mermaid! (I don't blame her!)
Her favorite scripture hero is the brother of Jared, because she likes how much faith he had in the lord to know he would find a way to light the barges.
Her favorite activity despite not being in the ward very long has been the missionary night. she loved teaching her family with her companion (which was me:) and that it was a great experience!

Announcements

I'd like to congratulate Sis. Hess on receiving her YW medallion, and for finishing the Personal progress! We have a new medallion this year! The wreath around the outside represents the laurels, the flower represents the Mia maids, and the beehive represents the beehives! The Red ruby in the middle of the flower represents the scripture Proverbs 31:10 "Who can find A virtuous woman? for her price if far above rubies." I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! The theme for the 2011 year is the 13th article of faith. "We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul-We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things." Everyone should look forward to a FABULOUS year in 2011!

Mikayla!

For those of you who check my blog daily (:you know who you are:) SURPRISE!
This weeks spotlight is................................Mikayla! Mikayla's greatest fear is being pushed off a cliff or something very high.
If there was a fire and she had time to grab only 3 things she would grab her camera, her journals, and her art.
If she could change her name it would be Mickey!
If she could marry a Disney character it would be the Enchanted guy, the normal/real life one (he is sweet!)
her favorite scripture hero is all of them because they are cool like that!

Layton Lights

For Mutual this week the Laurels and the Mia maids went to the Layton Christmas lights. On our way there Rachel, Alexis, and Judith went crazy in the backseat of the car! Everyone had tons of fun walking through the lights and looking at how many different kinds of lights there were.

My personal favorite was the two giraffes!


At the end we all gathered together for hot chocolate!

Danielle!

If she could change her name it would be either Courtney, Brittney, Ellie, or Ella!
If she could marry a Disney character it would be the guy on Sleeping Beauty, because he's a babe! But if she was on Disney she would marry herself!
All of the scripture people are her heros!
Her favorite part of young womens is being with all her friends and just having fun!
