Young Woman Recognition

'Pray every day.
Read the Book of Mormon every day.
Smile every day.'

Last night was the General Young Women's Conference broadcast from Salt Lake. Every year, the hour before the conference starts, our stake Young Women's presidency has a special awards presentation to all young women who received their medallions over the past year. Kathryn was one of those young women last night. What a special honor. And our stake YW presidency always goes to such lengths to make these girls feel wonderful and special, especially Dana. She called and text Kathryn several times to make sure Kathryn got her 'things for display' to her in order for Kathryn to have a special spot. In other words, as Dana always does, she took Kathryn under her special wing to make sure she was there, recognized and loved. All accomplished. I couldn't go - Kathryn felt awkward with Del wanting to go to a YW night, so we honored her wishes and stayed home. She said she didn't like this 'honoring thing anyways cause she didn't do all of this to be recognized in front of everyone...she did it for herself'. She came home hours later, with a rose for me, this special framed saying and expressing how wonderful the conference had been from Salt Lake. An overall spiritual and fulfilling night for her. I was grateful.
To my friend Dana - thank you. Thank you for caring about Kathryn and showing her that she is loved not only by her parents and Heavenly Father, but by you. You hold a special place in our hearts.
