Planets Aligned


It doesn't happen very often, but the planets aligned this month for me. Lauren wanted to be in Virginia for her 12th birthday. She flew in on the 31st be with her Virginia family for two weeks. What are the chances that my oldest granddaughter, Lauren, would turn 12 on the first Sunday in June and have her first day in Young Women in the ward with her parents and grandparents -- where her Grammy is the Laurel leader. Un----------real.

The girls were having a joint lesson and Lauren was welcomed to Young Women and I got to see it. Wow! My cup runneth over. Our YW Pres gives the girls a new packet of UNO cards with a beautiful card attached describing the YW motto -- U-know you are a divine daughter of God - through the whole motto -- It is very clever. She also got a birthday balloon. And I was there..............she answered questions the teacher asked and participated. (Matt's girl all the way)

I'm so bad with the pictures, but hope to get one........I am so lucky...........thank you planets for aligning.

Great Sunday. Good for you guys. Love little Lauren, she and Max are the same age so I have a special place in my heart for her!

YW is the best! I am a teacher in YW and I just love every one of my girls. I never understood why my YW leaders would say how much they loved us girls. I'm finally starting to understand. Definitely a blessing of the calling.

Congrats to your Lauren. So exciting!
