Selected YW Music

If you have not seen this list of music just for the YW check it out! just click on the title.

You can download music to your ipod or download the sheet music~very cool...these are some of my favorites.
Learning the Young Women songs can bring many blessings into your life. These songs can help you invite the Spirit into your home and into Young Women meetings, learn important gospel truths, increase your joy, and be "an influence for good that helps you draw closer to Heavenly Father" (For the Strength of Youth, 20). Elder Russell M. Nelson has taught: "It really matters what you listen to. . . . Select music that will strengthen your spirit" ("Self-Mastery," Ensign, Nov. 1985, 32).

Stake Family Event

Dancing through the Decades....

the family stake event started at 4:00pm and ran until 10:00pm....it started with 40's music and each hour changed to another decade. There was lots of dancing, really great refreshments and families had a wonderful time at the stake center dancing the day away!


These YW did it all!!! What a great idea for a laurel project. It involved so many people and families throughout the stake and everyone enjoyed themselves. They made posters, gave out assignments for cleanup and setup, they involved the YM. With this activity under their belts they are now ready to graduate and move onto to bigger events!!!

Thank you so much Aimee and Kassey~you are both great leaders! Great job.


more food and more dancing....Brother Sykes did the music and there was even a slide show of pictures and events from each era...the decorations covered the entire gym and tables were setup in the back for people to sit down, visit as well as eat.

YW High Adventure

We had a great time this year on our YW High Adventure Trip!!!! Three days in the Adirondacks Hiking, camping, fishing and haning out. Here is the group.



WOW! we have a ton of photos but we has such a great time! So here we are packing up and getting ready to go...
the crater mobile~this is how warsaw traveled!

Breakfast!!

Making and decorating cakes~camping style!
Hanging out at camp!

and then the hikes!! the first day we were all suppose to head to the top of Wright's Peak but one group had to head to another so we were split. But they were equally as difficult. We ALL made it to the top with our Banners of Virtue!
at the top we were able to read about Sister Dalton's challenge to sacrifice and make it to the temple, carrying out own banners of virtue. Some of the YW were able to share testimony and experiences as well as leaders. We were strengthened and uplifted by a very challenging physical experience!
the second day was Mount Joe for some, hanging out at camp for others and another long hike through the pass....it was a challenge but everyone had a great time.

The Lake! lake heart....

We took a long hike to the top of Wright's Peak with our Banners of Virtue.
