Last night was Arcadia Stake Young Women Recognition. It was an evening that the Cornwall women were given opportunities to serve. Rachel was the accompanist. Sarah was the chorister. Sarah and Sister Guerrero sang a beautiful duet (Mom accompanied). Then Mom was the keynote speaker on the topic of Personal Progress. Mom shared the history of young women programs clear back to the days of Brigham Young and how the program has evolved from the early 2oth century... when "Beehives" classes were "swarms" and one of the requirements was actually to tend a real beehive. She continued through her own program and shared her own goals as a young woman. Then Mom answered the question of why progress, progress for each person personally is such a key element of the gospel. Mom and the girls did wonderfully.

Not only did mom inspire change, (and progress) but she also inspired laughter! It was great night.
