Back to school "To Do" lists made August a busy month, so for our youth activities we tried for quality rather with quantity. Early in the month the youth went on their quarterly youth temple trip and did baptisms for the dead in the Provo temple. Late in the month, we did our best to squeeze out just a little more summer with an afternoon of pizza, boating, and riding gigantic water wienies on Utah lake. Many thanks to Brother Blume and Brother Ricks for generously taking us out in their boats. Everyone had a great time!
The last few days of August were tearful, as we said goodbye to our Young Women's President, Sister Brenna Williams, who has moved to Pennsylvania. Sister Williams, we wish you and your family all the best in your new adventures. Sister Alice Graham and Sister RevaBeth Russell were also released as counselors in the Young Women's presidency. Sister Williams and Sister Graham had both served with us for 1 year. Sister Russell was newer to the presidency and had only been serving with us for a few months. To all three of you, we give heartfelt thanks for sharing your time, your talents, and your love of the gospel with us. We are better for our friendship with you, and we love you.
Although it is hard to say goodbye, we are also very happy to welcome our new Young Women's leaders. We are excited to announce that Sister Ginny Duncan is our new president. Also serving with her are first counselor Monica Blume, and second counselor Amy Kelly. All three women are brimming with energy and ideas and we can't wait to see what great things they have in store for us.
