My name is Eliza Neal and I'm fourteen years old. My mom is my young women’s leader and my at home seminary teacher. In our young women's we have an average of 5/6 girls every week. I have been living in Germany for a year and a half and moved from Lexington, KY. In my old ward we had a very large youth population so moving here to a smaller ward was tough. At school I'm one of the only Mormons and as a part of that, I have been tried many times to join kids in smoking and drinking and I'm only in 9th grade! Having standards does limit my ability to attend parties and other outings but I have learned to accept it's better for me to be at home than to be with other drunk or high people. When I'm not at school or doing school work I like to participate in drama club, watch TV, shop, and play the piano.
My name is Cailyn. I am 12 and I go to the Munich 4th Ward. I love to read, and play softball. In our ward, the young women live far away from me, so it is hard to get together for activities, but when we do we have a lot of fun together. I know that the Lord will always be there for us, we just need to ask. He will always be there to help us when we need help, comfort us when we need comfort, and guide us when we need guidance.
Hey! My name is Hayley, and I'm a Laurel. I'm from Washington, and we had a small ward (or so I thought) then I moved here, to Germany and I realized we really have a small ward. Of course, there's always a smaller branch... I think your blog idea is super cool, and I'm happy to be part of it. I was always used to having at least one Mormon in my grade at school with me. Here, I'm the only one in my grade. Most people know I'm a Mormon and I'm proud of it. I'm a big music nerd, and I play multiple instruments: Piano, voice (yes,that totally counts as an instrument...), and all sorts of percussion instruments. I love to read and to write, even though I'm not very good. I'm glad to be living here and I'm grateful for the comfort God has given me, especially when I first came here. I have a testimony of my Savior, and His guidance has been crucial to me in my time here in Germany.
Hey! My name is Abby Jarman, and I am a 15 year old Mia Maid. I just moved to Munich from Moscow, Russia a couple months ago. I can definitely relate to having a small Young Women’s group. When I left Moscow I was one of 3 girls left! It sometimes is nice to have a small group, though, because you get to know everyone that much better. It was great to hear from you!
Hi, I’m Camilla and I’m in the Munich 4th ward. I am 14 years old, and I’ve lived here for 2 1/2 years. I love the gospel because it is the same in every country, even if you only have 6 young women. We don't have activities very often but that doesn’t change that we're all good friends and we have a great time when we are together.
