Brimhall Young Womens April 2012

This month started off with a special Silent Easter Lesson by Sister Nilsson.  I, however, wasn't there, but heard it was fabulous.  And a great way to feel the true spirit of Easter.

These are the only pictures I have of Youth Conference and they are from the dance.  I didn't have any pictures of the talent show (by the way, our ward rocked the talent show with our glow in the dark stick man dance), the dinner, the wonderful speakers and the SERVICE project.

Our Joint Activity for this month was the Amazing Race!  My wonderful counselor Cheryl did a great job making this happen.  It looks like we had fun!!

Also this month the Laurels took milkshakes to Sister Whilhite and Sister Wheeler who were in a nursing home.  What a great Opportunity!

and

Our combined YW activity was "Feed My Soul."  We watched the video of Mariama Kallon "Delivered By Hope"

Raised in a country ravaged by civil war, Mariama Kallon narrowly escaped torture by murderous rebel forces. After losing her entire family and everything she owned, she was guided to safety as she found refuge with a Latter-day Saint family in her native Sierra Leone. Touched by the teachings of the Restoration, and full of gratitude for all the Lord had done for her, Mariama wanted to wear her own missionary nametag. With barely a single change of clothes and a Church-sent hygiene kit as her only worldly possessions, she made the trek to the United States and began a full-time mission on Temple Square.Delivered By Hope tells the true story of Mariama Kallon's remarkable journey, as she was led by the Lord from war-torn West Africa to a new life in a new land.

What a great message and then sweet Sister Castillo shared some thoughts and we all partook of the delicious recipes each of the young women brought to share. 

Happy April!!
