"WE BELIEVE"

13th Article of Faith: 2011 Youth Mutual Theme

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.

I absolutely love this year's mutual theme, it is encouraging, uplifting, gives you spiritual strength, and it truly is a testimony of what we believe as members of the church. This week we had our YW New Beginnings and decided that the theme of the evening was going to be centered around "We Believe" taken from the 13th Articles of faith. We made it so simple this year in which allowed the spirit to be there during our meeting, I have realized that to simplify is the best way!

We have a total of 10 active YW and are gaining 5 new Beehives by June of this year. So exciting, I started out with 6 active and that was over two years ago. Our ward and the YW's program is truly being blessed and we are so happy for our little YW family. These are the little gifts that we made for our YW this year:


These are called domino necklaces;

Materials used:

I truly love being a part of the Young Women's Organization and it has blessed my life tremendously! I have grown closer to my Savior and to the scriptures! I hope that throughout 2011 that share what "We Believe."

13 days and counting....

I'm so impatient lately, counting down the days, organizing, more organizing, planning meals for the next few weeks, planning, getting ready for New Beginnings next week, organizing the next six weeks for my counselors while I'm out on maternity, cleaning clothes, folding clothes, putting them away and organizing some more. Not to mention I still need to clean toliets, bathrooms, etc. Ugh, worst favorite things to do. It is totally crazy, but I'm loving it because it keeps my mind off of constantly thinking that I have less than a few weeks left.

Honestly, I'm so ready! I'm ready to meet this precious little baby, I'm ready to not worry anymore about the next day or the next, I'm ready to be a mommy of a newborn, I'm ready for my three kids to see and meet their sister, I'm ready to see what a family of six is going to be and feel like. I'm so ready!

I'm so happy that I have less than two weeks left! This will be a bittersweet feeling because we will be complete and the babymaking will be done and we will be a family of six! Wow! That just sounds crazy to me, but I'm so excited!

13 days and counting... Yay! :)
