I have been the Young Women President since January and this whole time it's just been me and my first counselor. I've been asking for a second counselor and a secretary for FOUR months! And last Sunday they finally assigned the callings. :) I am sooo excited to be working with these ladies! They have both been married about 5 years and one has no children and the other has two. It's sooo nice to live in a ward where there are actually other people my age. I loved the El Monte ward, but we were like, the young couple in the ward. Practically everyone else was old and retired. I have high hopes for this ward and I have a lot of work ahead of me. My roster says there should be 22 cute young women in our ward but there's only ever about 2 that show up on Sunday and about 7 to the activities. It's sad how little support these kids get from their parents! They don't even give their kids rides to the activities :( If we want them there we have to pick them up ourselves, so Jared and I have been driving separately for the past few months so that we can bring 8 kids. Ridiculous.
Anyway, I'm hopeful that with these 2 new ladies we will be able to get the youth program to where it should be! Fingers crossed! Also - if anyone has any suggestions PLEASE send them my way, we need all the help we can get!!!
YAY!!! im excited for you. and ps. you and jared are such great youth leaders.
