Reflection

It was great to take the Young Women to see the temple lights this year!  I highly recommend going earlier in the holiday season.  We went the last Wednesday in November and loved being one of the few groups there. 

I ran into one of my co-workers who was taking his youth group to see the lights at the same time.  The following morning we discussed the purpose behind using the temple lights as a mutual activity.  It's a question we're often asked by our leaders, "What's the purpose behind this mutual?"  We joked that it's an easy activity to plan and execute, but ultimately discussed the importance of the temple.  I believe it's important for everyone to have positive memories and experiences that surround the temple.  Even if it is just walking around with some friends to see beautiful lights, it's an experience on temple grounds.

P.S. Sorry Maggie for the cell phone pictures, hopefully on my third trip later this month, I'll get some better ones for you!

Hello Madame President

Yes.  Someone greeted me today by saying, "Hello, Madame President."  I would've laughed out loud, but all I could manage was a nervous giggle.  I was sustained today as the Primary President for my ward at church.  We're all asked to serve in different positions as volunteers and as Primary President I will serve as the leader over the kids organization.  I'm nervous, slightly overwhelmed, but know that I can do it.
