Going to Trek? Check out attachment for details on how to prepare.

Walking Group - Sis. Tylene Shelley starting this up to physically prepare for trek. Will be a weekday after school. Details given Sunday.

Trek Hero story - See below. Simple, short way to spiritually prepare for Trek. You will get an email reminder when it's your turn to share in opening exercises or at activity. Doesn't hurt to have an inspiring story even if you're not going on Trek so a few of you not going are included on schedule.

My Trek Hero - Who inspires you? The pioneer-trail and trail of life is difficult. Who will you look to for strength? Share a 1-2 minute story on a relative that inspires you. Could be a short story about a pioneer ancestor that crossed the plains, or that converted to the church just a few years ago, or how a relative stood up for what is right and you admired it. That person’s life can be a source of strength and in difficult times can inspire you to move ahead.

Young Women Temple Recommends - In Stake Conference we were urged by President Condie to go to the temple as a family. I do have all young women temple recommends here at my house, but they are yours to use any and all the time. Parents can take daughters and young women you can go with sisters or friends any time. There are several young women in the ward that go regularly and just hold on to theirs until the next time we go as a group. Just don't want you to feel like you can only go as an official activity. You are welcome and encouraged to go to the temple anytime.

January 11th Activities and Important Information ~ CHECK IT OUT!

So excited for the Young Women Retreat!




Below Four Important Items:

1) YW Combined Activity - Tuesday, 7pm meet at Church Gym. Basketball Clinic/Dodge ball/Gym Games. (Bring any basketballs, soft foam balls, beach balls etc.from home so we can play).

2) LDS Church's MANDATORY Release Form - that we have to have for your daughter to go to the Retreat (Yes, you did just sign a release form last week, apologies, it was the Aspen Grove Form & thank you. I just found out this week the church itself also requires a signed form to take your daughter on an overnighter). Young Women were all given one to have parents sign yesterday in Young Womens. I need them signed and brought to Young Women's tomorrow, Tuesday to the activity. Sunday at the latest. If you don't already have a form, I have attached a copy you can print and sign. OR can be faxed to Katie Lewis at 801-850-9296 OR can print, sign, scan, email back to me.

3) Want to be in Seminary next year? If you/ your daugther are going into 9th, 10th 11th or 12th grade and will attend seminary next year, Bro. Smith has Preliminary Seminary Paperwork that needs to be signed by a parent by Jan. 24th.

This is just the first step; the second will be the students and their parents actually registering for release time when they sign up for their 2011-2012 classes. Here is the list of those the church computer system included. Please note that not all will be entering 9th grade this next school year (in fact, I know some are too young), but this is what was pulled up for youth ages 14-17.

So check out the list below and either A) email me back if not attending seminary - too young etc. so I can correct the ward count OR B) You/ your daughter will be attending - On Tuesday, Parents, when you drop off your daughter for the activity: park the car. come in the church to the Bishop's office. Bro. Smith will be there with the paperwork ready for you.

AMAZING YOUNG WOMEN (Temple Baptisms)

So, how amazing are you young women?


After the temple on Saturday (awesome turn out of 22!), the temple workers pulled us leaders aside and said, "You noticed your young women were baptizing for people from Hungary right? Well, they all happened to be around the same time period and from the same village. So, with the amount of baptisms they did and the amount of young women your ward had, they single-handedly baptized an entire village." - WOW. serious eternal service.
