Let's try this again...

About 5 years ago I was released as Young Womens President after serving for about 2 1/2 years...well today I was put back in as Young Womens President! I am feeling very overwhelmed, excited, scared, and honored to have this calling! Let's just say it has been a week of praying, fasting, and fretting! :) Thank goodness I have 2 great counselors (Amy Lopez and Barbara Anders) and about 20 WONDERFUL girls! Let the adventure begin!

I know you will do a great job and I also know you will find great inspiration and promptings from above as you serve in your usual way of full heart, humility,and committment. Lucky Young Women to have you, Amy, and Barbara.

Some of the greatest lessons I've learned in my life came from my wonderful young women's leaders. You have a lot of wisdom and are so positive, those young women are really lucky to have you! =)

No doubt you are just what the YW in your ward need. You are amazing, I only wish my girls were in your ward. Good Luck and much love!!!

I had a chance to work with you 5 years ago and you were a wonderful, concerned, capable, inspired President. I'm sure this go-round will be the same - with a lot of added wisdom and new life experiences. How could you not bless them? (But seriously - a line item of your budget needs to be for BABYSITTING as you and Matt are going to spend a pretty penny on that the next couple of years!)

Let my family know how we can help!

Congrats Sara, personally I think that is a true compliment. Those girls obviously love you and need you. If I were still in young women's I would want you too. You will do awesome and I promise you will be blessed and so will your family. Thanks for making a difference. Miss you!
