The number 13 is an unlucky number for the Europeans, especially Friday, the 13th, yes? Not tonight in the Miri chapel! Tonight was Friday and there were 13 Young Women (100% of active YW) present, in this annual event that was held at the beginning of each year. Plus the leaders from the YW organisation and the guests, there were about 31 (13 turned around) people attending the function.
Guests (who made up of the girls' parents and friends) were able to view and learn what the YW organisation does from a table that displayed the pictures of the YW activities and their achievements.
Penny played the organ. Hilda was the master of ceremony;
Gloria N and Jessica did the opening and closing prayer; Marina - the spiritual thought; YW theme and motto by Priscilla; talks by Chloe and Gloria G; Catherine, Christine, Penny & Fadelia did the skit. Sylviana and Bernadine join the rest in the special musical presentation (the pic did not turn out well, sigh!)Sister Bray, our YW President, expressed her love for Sister Ivy
and Sister Gloria G, the 2 girls that have blossomed into beautiful Young Women and are now in the Relief Society and Primary presidency. They would soon be completing their YW personal progress and therefore completed the requirements necessary to receive the Young Womanhood Recognition in the form of a medallion. One enters the Young Women organisation at 12 and leaves at 18 years.It was a successful evening. Gloria G gave an excellent talk that touches my heart and brought some tears to my eyes. The skit made us laugh. We had a big delicious rectangular carrot cake to end the wonderful evening - I had 3 pieces! So nice!
