Day 28... Today I am thankful for the Young Women's Program.
 
When we got home late Monday night this is what we found on our front door. We didn't read them or take pictures until Tuesday morning ... but Courtney was so excited to get up on Tuesday to check them out!!!! She took them off the front door and put them on her bedroom door. I am pretty sure they will be there a year from now. I am so grateful for the Young Women leaders and girls of our ward for welcoming Courtney and making her feel so special!
 Wednesday night was her first night attending Young Women's. It was sureal watching her and McKenna head out the door together! They did a "service" activity... cleaning the nursery toys. Ewwwww. She said it was the grossest, slimiest, nastiest, stinkiest, most disgusting.... and wonderful night EVER! Doesn't she already look so much more grown up?
I am so grateful for the inspired Young Women's program and for the ability it has to shape and define the lives of our daughters. Over the years we have watched McKenna grow in her understanding of who she is, why she is here, and how her obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel of Jesus Christ will bring her true and lasting happiness. I am so excited for Courtney as she begins her journey. I LOVE my Young Women!

Where did you get your entryway table? From what I can see of it in the picture behind the door it looks like the one I just got for our entryway. I got ours at Hobby Lobby.

Courtney is such a fun girl! I am sorry that her first activity was a gross one but I'm glad that she had fun :) I'm so excited that she is in Young Women's!

What a fun welcome to YW that Courtney received! Notes are tangible greetings that she can look at from time to time. And what a fun(?) activity. Actually, it was probably a good one because it was a real service to the nursery but also one in which she and the girls could visit and get to know one another while working.
