Young Women’s ~ New Beginnings

Tonight at Young Women’s we had our New Beginnings Meeting.  The theme was keys to help us open doors to letting the Savior into our lives.  I really liked this big paper key they had up on the board.  I was asked to talk about the new Come, Follow Me curriculum.  I was proud of myself for not bursting into tears, b/c that’s usually what I do when I feel the Spirit.  I kept it together and was able to say what I needed to.  Although when I sat down, I thought of a lot of things I meant to say but forgot.  Oh, well…I guess the Spirit didn’t want me to say them since I didn’t remember them.

It was a very nice program and we were done by 8:00.  They got a group picture of all the girls, but I didn’t get my camera out in time and was able to snap this picture from the side.  We really do have a great group of Young Women & I’m excited for the new Beehives we’ll have coming in this year.

For dessert they had the fabulous Oreo & cream cheese truffles (the mint ones were delectable), chocolate covered strawberries, and these cute sugar cookies in the shape of a key.  Each of the girls got an old fashioned key w/ a string in the color of the value they’ll be focusing on for Young Women In Excellence this year.

I stayed to help clean up and when I got home, this is what I found.  I’m so thankful that Mom brings Autumn home and puts her to bed for me on Wednesday nights so that Autumn gets enough sleep and isn’t a grouchy girl in the morning.
