Change

April brought a lot of change for our family and friends in the area.

The boundaries for the wards in our Stake changed and that put us in 

another ward in another town.  We moved from Taber 2nd Ward to 

Barnwell 1st Ward.  Ryan was released as 2nd Counselor in the 2nd 

Ward Bishopric and was called as 2nd Counselor in the Barrnwell 1st

Ward.  I was released as a member of the Primary Presidency and 

called as the Laurel Advisor in our new ward.  The kids obviously are in 

a new primary and I have no idea what it is like for them now that I don't 

attend every Sunday with them.  I miss being with them, but I know that

this experience is meant to humble us and in time will strengthen us all!

I have been working on my first Laurel lesson.  I have to admit that I am very 

nervous to be in Young Women's because I haven't been in there since I was

18!  There are 9 beautiful girls in our group and I just pray that I can be their 

friend!  What a big change for them to be split from good friends and then to have

complete strangers as their leaders!  I think time and camp in June will bring the 

needed connection between us all. And now to review the Young Women Theme...

WE ARE DAUGHTERS of our Heavenly Father,

 who loves us, and we love Him. 

We will “STAND as witnesses of God 

at all times and in all things, and in all places” (Mosiah 18:9) 

as we strive to live the Young Women values, which are: 

faith*divine nature 

individual worth*knowledge

choice and accountability

good works* integrity 

and virtue

We believe as we come to accept and act 

upon these values, WE WILL BE PREPARED 

strengthen home and family, make and 

keep sacred covenants,receive the ordinances 

of the temple, and enjoy the blessings of exaltation.
