Letter to Beijing


Hello! My name is Eliza Morgan. I am 14 years old. I love singing, acting, reading, shopping, drawing, talking and most of all my family and friends. I live in Utah amd I'm in the Brookshire ward. Our ward only has 5 active girls (2 Laurels, 2 MiaMaids and 1 Beehive), which is small compared t o most wards in Utah; but I love it! We are all so close and we have amazing young women leaders which only make it all so much better!
Last week for mutual for mutual we had a fashion show. It was a combined activity, which is when three wards join for an activity. This is what we did: We were all divided into six groups of girls, and then each group was sent into a room. In each room there were 20 items, 10 normal fasion things and 10 random things, like tin foil. We had to choose a model to dress in all the items, and then she'd take the runway while the spokesperson described her outfit. It was fun.

I'd likke to share my testimony that I know with all my heart that this church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, is true. I am so grateful to be a member of it. I know that the Savior lives and I know that he loves us. When I feel so alone, and don't want to talk to anyone, but he is still there to comfort me. I love the chruch and the feeling it brings. I know that Thomas S. Monson is the true and living prophet today.

Letter to Toronto Canada

I'm Jami Campbell, I'm 17 years old. I'm so thrilled that I was able to be in charge of emailing your Young Women's group. I've been lucky enough to visit Canada a few times and I absolutely love when my family is able to visit my aunt who still lives in Orillia. I love sewing, photography, reading (my favorite books are currently The Hunger Games trilogy or To Kill a Mockingbird), blogging and American Sign Language (I'm currently learning it and hope to be fluent one day). Compared to a lot of the wards in my area our ward is very small (we only have 5 active girls) but I love it! I love having a small Young Women's group, it makes it so much easier to become close to the other girls in my ward.

 A couple weeks ago for mutual we had our annual New Beginnings. We had such a fun theme, we did the entire program as if we were in an airplane. This year we focused on the Mutual theme in D&C 115 and on the different Young Women values. Each young women was given a different value and was asked to give her testimony on that value. I was given Faith. One of my favorite scriptures is in Alma 32:21 it says "And now as I said concerning faith-faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true." Reading the Book of Mormon always helps me increase my faith. I know that by having faith in Christ we will be able to overcome any trials that life throws at us by using the Atonement in our lives. I know that Joseph Smith restored the Gospel on this Earth and that Thomas S. Monson is our living prophet today.
