New Curriculum

I am so excited for the new curriculum.  Getting through the next three months of the old manual is going to be paiiiiiinnnnfulllll, knowing that there is better stuff around the corner.

Today, I realized how the inspiration I've gotten for this calling has been calculated by the Lord to prepare me (and I assume my board and the girls) for these exciting new changes. The people called to the YW board with me really are the perfect women for the job of rolling this new curriculum out.

Can we just switch over now?

I Hope They Call Lots of Them on a Mission!

Why the announcement that young women may serve a mission at 19 is making me cry tears of joy, I can't say.  Maybe it's knowing lots of young women who will jump at that chance.  Maybe it's the confirmation from the Holy Ghost that it was direct revelation to the Prophet from our Heavenly Father.  Maybe it's knowing how many lives will be blessed by these young women.  And maybe it's the knowledge that, as a Young Women's leader, there is now an urgency that we prepare all of our young women, whether they want to serve a mission or not, to be ready to share the gospel throughout all the world, to be leaders, to have strong testimonies, to make and keep sacred covenants.

This is going to make a huge difference in the lives of our Young Women, whether they choose to serve a mission or not.  It's going to change the Church going forward.  It's going to change the world.  I'm so excited!
