A Brand New Year

As the Harkers Island LDS Yound Women begin their new year, we add a new value to our theme: Virtue. Our YW recite their theme at the beginning of each meeting. Our theme reminds us of values that we need to keep in our mind as we live each day, namely: Faith, divine nature, individual worth, knowledge, choice and accountability, good works, integrity, and virtue. Each of our young women know this and can recite it by heart. As their presidency, it is our hope that they will have it always in their hearts and minds and recite it silently when they make everyday choices.
We have the best of the best in our HI Ward YW program. Maybe all leaders think that, but we know it to be true. These are turbulent times in which to be growing up and it is our prayer that these special young women will always remember who they are and what they stand for, and that THEY ARE LOVED.

"I believe one virtuous young woman led by the Spirit can change the world."
