(Retold by a member of the YW Presidency)
New Beginnings was a WONDERFUL experience! It was one of the highlights of our lives to be there and to see our lovely YW so full of the spirit.
It was very special this year to have the room FULL! In attendance were our four YW, parents, the Relief Society sisters, the Bishop, and the Young Women (YW) leaders. We thank each and every one of you from the bottom of our hearts for being there. There was so much love in that room! Everyone there was united with love for our YW and the YW program. And it was really wonderful and powerful to stand united with the YW and so many RS sisters as we recited the YW theme.
The overall YM/YW theme for the world this year is "WE BELIEVE", taken from the 13th Article of Faith. We made our New Beginnings theme "Black and White". The focus was on our beliefs and how important it is to have a strong testimony opposed to one that is full of too many blurred lines. To make it memorable, we all wore black and white, had black and white decorations in the room and also served black and white cookies with hot chocolate.
The highlights of the night were the spiritual messages that were heard. We had wonderful talks by the YW leaders, a member of the Relief Society Presidency , and the Bishop. One of our very talented young women performed a beautiful musical number on the flute which added so much to the meeting. And we were all blessed to hear our girls each stand and share their testimonies. They each have a beautiful light and we are so proud of them for sharing it with us!
