Beehive house and Wedding Dresses

This month we have had a lot of fun. We've been working on things for camp, going to the beehive house is Salt Lake, and last night we made modest wedding dresses out of newspaper, toilet paper, and tin foil. You YW are so creative. Sister Jones and I are super excited about girls camp. Just a few more days...

Mother's Day Retreat

In honor of Mother's day the girls wanted to do something special for their moms. Instead of making something we decided it would be more fun to spend some time together. It was a great night! It was so great to see all the girls talking to their moms and having a good time. Maybe we'll have to make it a tradition!

I haven't been that great about posting lately! SORRY! We have done some really fun things lately. Big news off the top of my head is that we now have a new Beehive Presidency! Thank you so much to the old presidency! Thanks Hannah, Nicole, Lyndsey and Kate. You did such a great job and your service is greatly appreciated. We are excited to have a new presidency. Kate, Emma, Kelsee and kaylee, they have so many great ideas...it is going to be fun!

Sunday March 21st

Today we had a lesson on Father's Blessings. We talked about all the times that it is appropriate to ask for a blessing from your father and I encouraged the girls to think about asking their fathers for blessings when they need them.

Heart Attack

For our class activity we "Heart Attacked" a few people in the ward. What a fun way to do service. The people who were attacked let us know how grateful they were to the beehives for thinking of them. What a great group of girls!

New Beginnings

New Beginnings is coming up soon ! We are excited! We hope all your parents will be able to come!

Human Foosball

01/26/2010
Tonight's activity was combined and the Young Men were in charge. We all had a great time playing human foosball. There were no major injuries just a few balls to the face. We had yummy cookies for dessert and practiced the new Strong and Courageous song.

Finally a PICTURE!

Finally a picture! We got a picture of the Beehives that were there on Tuesday night at our activity. What CUTE girls! For our activity we made marble heart Valentine magnets with cute poems on them in honor of Valentines day. I wanted to get pictures of us making them but it was just too busy and I ran out of time. Afterwards we practiced our song for New Beginnings, "Strong and Courageous." It was sounding GREAT! I am excited for them to sing it at New Beginnings! I'm so impressed with what great singers all the girls are and how willing they are to participate. We missed everyone who wasn't able to come and hope to see you on Sunday and at our next activity. We will be practicing the song again on Sunday so everyone try to be there!

Be Strong and of a good Courage!

Okay so I forgot to bring my camera to YW Tuesday night! So no pictures yet ;( We had a fun night! The new Theme was introduced: Be Strong and of a good courage, Be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord they God is with thee withersoever thou goest. Joshua 1:9. The girls all memorized this scripture...so that means that they should still have it memorized right ;)? We talked about what it means to have GOOD COURAGE. Some examples given were to have courage to stand up for what you believe in, and to have the courage to dress modestly. Then we put Be Strong and of a good Courage vinyl lettering on a 12x12 tile for everyone to put in their rooms to remind them of the theme throughout the year. Thanks for the yummy treats Sister Fox!
*Remember to bring your worksheet on Christ Tuesday!

Sunday, January 10th

Today we had a great lesson taught by Sister Fox. It was called- Spiritual gifts. We talked about what spiritual gifts are and read about them in D&C 46: 7-29. We discussed the different Spiritual Gifts that Heavenly Father can give to us through the Holy Ghost, and how each of us has different gifts. Sister Fox asked the girls to think about what spiritual gifts they have, and if they didn't know, then try to discover what those gifts are and develop them through living righteously.
"Neglect not the Gift that is in thee." -1 Timothy 4:14

What happened this week in YW...

Sunday January 3rd-We started out the new year with a lesson on "Drawing Closer to Jesus Christ." I thought this was the perfect lesson to start the New Year off with! What better goal can we have than to develop our relationship with our Savior Jesus Christ? During our lesson we talked about what it means to bear a true testimony of Jesus Christ. It was pointed out that we don't always need a story to go along with a testimony. A true testimony of Christ is something different than expressions of love for friends etc. I wanted the girls to recognize that when we are doing things that are right and are in a good setting that the spirit of Christ will enhance our feelings of love for our friends, family, leaders, etc. but that bearing a true testimony of Christ doesn't mean bearing a testimony of how much we love our friends and so forth. Then we listened and watched a compilation of testimonies from Prophets and Apostles so that we could hear what true testimonies of Christ sound and feel like. It was really wonderful and I think we all felt the Spirit's presence there. Afterwards some of the girls took the opportunity to bear their testimonies of Christ and I was amazed at how much they love their Savior and how they were able to bear witness of His love for them. Here is a link to what we watched if any of you would like to listen and share with your families. http://gallery.me.com/rymeng65#100144 It is well worth your time to watch!

Tuesday January 5th Activity- We had a GREAT time planning for the year! The girls had Fabulous ideas for activities that they want to do this year. I was truly impressed! We also gave the girls a letter and a worksheet on steps they can take to draw closer to their Savior Jesus Christ. We gave them until the 19th of January to complete if they choose to. If they bring it back signed by their parent(s) then they can earn a special treat. Of course the real reward is the results of making an effort to develop their relationship to Christ!
