Young Women SLC Trip

Our Young Women had the great opportunity of going to SLC and meeting Sister Elaine Dalton, the General Young Women President. They also went to the General Young Women Broadcast held at the Conference Center. Carlee and I were able to go on Friday with them and meet Sister Dalton.
It was such a unique and special experience, one I hope these girls won't forget. Sister Dalton is wonderful, witty, happy, caring, amazing... my list could go on and on. She spoke to all of us and I could really feel her love for each Young Woman.  The picture on the right is the view from her office on Temple Square. Isn't that view unbelievable. We were told each morning when she gets to her office she says "Good Morning Moroni!" She is so refreshing. She has asked each girl to commit to 4 things.
  1. Pray every morning and every night.
  2. Read in the Book of Mormon at least five minutes every day.
  3. Smile!
  4. Obey and live the standards in For the Strength of Youth. Become familiar with these standards. Share them with others. And be an example of the believers.
As our Young Women work on these goals so am I. Sometimes it isn't easy, but I am trying. I know if I do these daily it will help me be a better mom to my children and leader to these beautiful girls. They teach me so much.
