We are daughters of our Heavenly Father, who loves us, and we love Him. We will 'stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places' as we strive to live the Young Women values, which are: Faith, Divine Nature, Individual Worth, Knowledge, Choice and Accountability, Good Works, Integrity, and Virtue. We believe as we come to accept and act upon these values, we will be prepared to strengthen home and family, make and keep sacred covenants, receive the ordinances of the temple, and enjoy the blessings of exaltation

Welcome to an Overseas Guest

A couple of posts ago we shared a video made by the Farley family, which if you missed can be found under the title Young Women Powers. Farley fun comes in the form of making and editing pretty cool and professional looking videos. Tonight Reed Farley popped in on the blog and added a comment so we thought we would give a warm welcome to our first YW contributor from Arizona.

Here is another FarleyFlick


On other fronts our Stakes YW blog is also gaining in popularity else where, a quick check of Manchester Stake Youth Facebook page will reveal several of the posts from here. In return we have added a link to them, on the right column in the form of a Facebook Badge. Our posts are also appearing on the YSA ward Facebook page.

Young Women Powers

This is a must see !!!



or follow this link to watch it on YouTube HERE

This is one of a series of videos made by LDS father of 5 Ryan Farley, its a family hobby I guess. Starring Reed Farley & Trapper Farley.
You can see where Reed gets her powers from, notice when she gets up, you see she is wearing a Young Women necklace!

Regional Dance


I called in early in the evening and took a couple of pictures, Paul Sleem "The Music Man" was playing the tunes 


Meanwhile in the kitchen, with an army of helpers, the Stake Young Women Presidency were slicing, dicing and preparing fruit for the beach party. They had spent much of the last month, growing bananas, coconuts and melons in Helen's back garden !


This fruit had been laid out in the Relief Society for the most healthy refreshments ever know at a church dance.



Roving Rhianne - more pictures

Salt Lake Skyline

Still in Salt Lake Rhianne has sent us another batch of pictures, there was no descriptions so we are guessing what they are !

Salt Lake Temple


Inside the Tabernacle

 
We think these must be a model of the temple in the visitors centre

On the Naughty step ?
Thanks for sharing Rhianne.

Tonight is the Multi-stake Dance hosted by Ashton, held at Manchester. If anyone takes pictures they would like putting on here, message them to me on Facebook (John or Joanne Teal) or email them to the address at the bottom of the page.

Breaking EFY news

Are you excited about EFY yet ?
Did you know there will be a variety show at EFY that you can take part in ? 

There will be auditions held during EFY and you will need to take the lyrics of any music / songs you intend to use either singing, playing or just background music, with you to be vetted before auditions.

When you come to EFY, you should let those who are doing the registrations that you wish to participate in the show.
