I Mustache You a Question

Are we awesome?  Or are we AWESOME?
(Brielle's comment, "Hey, mommies don't wear mustaches.  Only fancy guys do!")
 
 
Serving in Young Women has been a wonderful experience for me.  The girls have reminded me how it feels to be a teenager again, and I love learning from them.  They have truly been a blessing in my life.
 
I didn't get many pictures of girls camp.  I was too busy having a blast!  It was so fun - spending a few days at the beach and getting to know the girls from our stake.  I was with the 2nd year campers, and they quickly caught me up on the latest dances.  Who was doing The Wobble at 11:00 p.m.?  That was us!  I didn't realize how much the dance scene has changed since I was a teenager.  I have so much to learn...
 
However, I did get some pictures of some of the amazing crafts the girls did, including this jar, which held a tea light.  We placed them all around during our testimony meeting at the beach.  It made for perfect ambience:

The girls also had some workshops.  This one was about building a testimony.  The girls made a handprint to remind them of the 5 elements of a testimony.  Then they wrote their testimonies on their hands.  I thought they turned out cool.


And then came skit night.  Our girls did a skit, written by one of our Beehives.  Did I mention that the girls in my ward are AMAZING?  I really thought their skit was one of the best - well thought out and well written.  It even had an original song!
 
 
I love having great spiritual experiences with "my" girls.  These girls are strong and deep.  Their testimonies are deeply rooted at such a young age, and they work so hard to keep their standards high.  We have wonderful Sunday lessons and weekly mutuals.  Oh yeah, and we have a TON of fun.
