"Wii Night"

So I remembered that I forgot to mention a BIG change in my life... I think I mentioned something about it in a previous post but I forgot to say what it actually was... ANYWHO...
I was called about a month ago to be the Young Women's President at my church. Most of the people who read this blog know what that is, but for those of you visiting...
I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Often we are referred to as "Mormons" We attend church on a weekly basis on Sunday, and all the people in our ward have callings in the church. My calling as the Young Women's President is working with the young girls in our ward ages 12-18. I have Counselors and Advisors for the different age groups. The youngest girls are Beehives, they are 12-13. Once they turn 14 they become Mia Maids (14-15) and when they turn 16 they become Laurels (16-18). I just LOVE these girls. In addition to the Sunday Church Meetings, we meet together on Tuesday Nights with just the Young Women for fun activities. Our Activities are centered around the Young Women and we do ALL kinds of fun stuff. Being the President I am responsible for all the girls, but I am mainly responsible for the Laurels. (my two counselors are responsible for the Beehives and Mia Maids) I have two Laurels currently, so we have been having our Tuesday activities with the Mia Maids.
Was that alot to take in??

WELL... last night we had an activity. It was a "Building Friendships" Activity.
 We went to one of the girls house and had a "Wii Night". 
I had a BLAST getting to know all the girls a little better... 
 We all brought our favorite snack... it was an AMAZING array of sweets...
 And the girls played games on the Wii. We started and ended with Just Dance...
 These girls are the most adorable, sweet, fun girls EVER!!
 And a few of them MAY have been given camera rights... to which they took advantage...
 FUN times with my new favorite girls!! 
And they talked me and the other Leader into dancing too...
 it did not take much forcing on their part of course!!
And I am sure I am mid sentence telling these girls how to be WONDERFUL Young Women in this picture; getting a little love from one of the girls!
Thanks for the Fantastic Night Girls! It is great to see the Friendships you have Blossom!!
This is me... Looking Forward to leading these girls!
