Why I Love YW...

So, most of you know that I got released from working with the YW in our ward last week. It has been 4 amazing years. When they told me how long I had been in, I couldn't believe it. The time has flown. So after sobbing for 2 days I have now composed myself and have had time to reflect on all the amazing experiences I have had. But, after 4 years of serving in YW the most amazing experience happened last night. We were sitting down to dinner and Kyla was telling me about a play date she had just gotten home from. She was invited to get in their hot tub and when the girl went to get her a swim suit she only had bikini's. Kyla told her, "I can't wear a bikini" When the girl asked her why she said, "I go to church, my mom works with the young women and they sang a song about being modest. That's why I don't ear a bikini!" That particular roadshow was over two and a half years ago. I am so grateful for those YW who set that example so when my 7 year old needed to make a decision she had those wonderful girls in her head singing, 'If it fits to tight, then it just aint right, try to dress like me, go for modesty."
So now it is off to Primary for me. It has been hinted that I will be teaching the 8 year olds turning 9 next year. I am looking forward to this new experience.

Oh goodness! I know how you feel. After 7 years I felt very sad too! On to new challenges for both of us!

Thanks for the bringing back great memories, that Modesty song was fun!
