Upcoming Combined Activity for Sept. 21st

You won't want to miss this weeks activity - the YW Olympics!  The Beehives will be putting this on for our combined activity.  Come in your athletic attire (complete with running shoes!) to ensure you the best performance!  See you all Wednesday!!

STANDARDS NIGHT

Recap of September Activites

September has come and with it, school has started!  The first Wednesday this month (which is usually a joint activity with the YM - but will be replaced with Standards Night later this month) so we all got together at the church and made spectacular plans for Young Women in Excellence (being held on Wed. Oct 19th!).  We have decided to have a Courtroom theme where each of the YW will be put "on trial" for being accused of "Standing as a Witness of Christ".  The girls came up with some pretty need ideas!  We worked on our "WANTED" posters that will be on display that night as well as made assignments.  The Beehives will be in charge of decorating the R.S. room to look like a courtroom and the Mia Maids will be responsible for our yummy refreshments!  Parents - this activity is for you!  Where we'll get to see first hand what your girls have been working under their Personal Progress :)

The 2nd week of September was a Personal Progress night.  Every 2nd Wednesday of the month, we dedicate to PP so we can help, encourage and support the girls on their goals and progression towards a more spiritual life.  We also take turns between the classes on decorating the bulletin board around the month's value. The value for September is Faith and the Beehives did a remarkable job on the board this month!

Temple Trip to Twin Falls

With the Boise Temple closed for renovations, we now get the opportunity to have Temple Trips!  We were able to have our very first one over the Labor Day Weekend - on September 3rd.  We met at the church at 1:30 and were on our way by 2pm. Afterwards, we all went over to Brother Dodds parents home for a homestyle BBQ!  Everyone who was able to attend had a wonderful experience!

ps: I would really like to edit this post with a few thoughts from some of the girls/leaders that were able to attend. If you're willing to share your thoughts, please let a member of the Presidency know :)
