Hey girls! I hope you are all excited about reading the Book of Mormon together like I am. Even the Bishopric is excited and reading along with us. AND if you were listening on Sunday, Bishop invited the whole ward to read with us too! After only a week you have inspired more people to read the Book of Mormon than I bet you thought you could.
Just as a reminder, you only have to read a chapter a day to keep up with the reading chart and finish by December 13th, 2009. As of today (Tuesday April 21) you should have read 1 Nephi chapter 4.
So happy reading and enjoy all that you'll learn!

Hail and Farewell
All of you know by now that we have a new Young Women's Presidency called. Some faces stayed the same (Sis. Blaylock and Sis. Loganimoce) but we have some new faces to add to the mix. Sister Telford was called as the Young Women President and Sister Robinson was called as the 2nd Counsellor. We are excited to have them as a part of our group and look forward to all the great fun we will have together.
We also just wanted to say "THANK YOU" to the released presidency, Sister Paulsen and Sister Shoda for all their dedicated service to the Young Women.

Virture... a new Young Women's value
The first Sunday of December we all got to stand together and recite our Young Women's theme. I got a little tongue tied though, because we have a new value to add in to the mix. The new value is Virtue! The General Young Women Presidency had this to say about the importance of this new value:
Return to Virtue "Now is the time for a return to virtue!"
The attribute and value of Virtue has been added to the Young Women theme. "Virtue is a pattern of thought and behavior based on high moral standards. It encompasses chastity and moral purity."
The time has come for the young women of the Church to lead the world in a return to virtue. This is the time to be pure and to qualify for the guidance of the Holy Ghost. In the coming year, it is our desire that all young women and their leaders focus on the meaning of virtue, what young women can do to accept and act upon this value, and how this attribute can strengthen young women as they prepare to be worthy to make and keep sacred covenants and receive temple ordinances.
We will distribute through local priesthood leaders and also post online the Personal Progress value experiences and projects associated with this value. We desire all young women to complete and be recognized for completing this value, in addition to the seven values listed in the Personal Progress book. You may want to study the following scriptural references as you contemplate a return to virtue.
"I believe one virtuous young woman led by the Spirit can change the world."
More information about the new value and what it means can be found by clicking here.

Happy New Year!
Hi Girls! Welcome back from the crazy winter break that we had. The snow was fun, but got pretty crazy at times. I am happy that it has melted off the street and I can finally get to the gas station without worrying my car is going to get stuck!
This year's Young Women Theme is: "Be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity" (1 Timothy 4:12). This month our lessons and activities will focus on being an example. I hope you take some time this month and think about the kind of example you want to be to your family and friends. I know that I always have some room for improvement. :)
Here are some links of talks that are about being an example. I hope you like them!
1. The Prophet Joseph Smith- Teacher by Example
2. Examples of Righteousness
3. Be Thou an Example
