I am going to be out of town next week, so I am posting announcements for the next few weeks.

*This Wednesday, 3/9, is the combined YM/YW meeting at 6:45 at the church. Please bring the Preach My Gospel manuals that were handed out today in church.

I wanted to let parents know and remind the YW about the awesome opportunity we were given in church today. The Bishop has given each of the youth a Preach My Gospel manual. He has challenged the youth to start reading it, studying it, and to make notes of things we are learning. Today in YW we heard some great "Missionary Moments" and by studying the gospel more, we will be that much more prepared to share the gospel with friends. I personally think this is a great idea and am excited to see the results!

Hope you all have a great last week of school and enjoy your Spring Break!

**Fireside and Dance Info

2011-02-25T15:19:00.003-06:00

Hello Young Women and Parents! Here is the e-mail we receieved today about a fireside going on TOMORROW! It's short notice, but it looks fun! Here is the information from the e-mail:

The Richmond Stake is having our 2011 Youth Conference in an earlier and somewhat compressed format, to take place the last weekend of February. We are opening up the church-dress fireside and dance on Saturday 26 Feb. (fireside is 6:45-7:45 pm and dance is 7:45-10:45 pm) to youth ages 14-17 of nearby stakes. We apologize for the short-notice but feel there may be some within your stakes who could benefit from attending the fireside (and optional dance afterwards). Although we don’t have a separate flyer just for this segment of our Youth Conference, here are the details:

The 6:45-7:45 pm fireside speaker is Justin Su’a from the Seminaries and Institute “Best of EFY” faculty, and he will be speaking on Overcoming Spiritual Slumps.
Note that the dance which immediately follows is church dress.

If your youth would like to stay for the 7:45- 10:45 pm dance:
We don’t want this to be considered a formal assigned dance that your stake and ward leaders should feel obligated to attend; but we are asking that your ward leaders be responsible to ensure that any youth who come from your stake also come with a chaperone who knows them and stays the entire time.
We are offering the dance to those who first come to the fireside and prefer not to have youth skip the fireside but still come to the dance.

To emphasize, here are dress standards for a “church-dress” dance:
Sunday Best – You may wear only the clothing you would wear to church.
Always dress in modest clothing. NO TANK TOPS, SLEEVELESS SHIRTS/BLOUSES, SHORTS, SHORT SKIRTS/DRESSES, T-SHIRTS, BARE MIDRIFFS, EARRINGS FOR BOYS, VISIBLE PIERCINGS EXCEPT ONE PAIR OF EARRINGS FOR GIRLS, VISIBLE TATTOOS, LOW NECKLINES.

2011-02-20T18:31:00.003-06:00

Honoring our Pioneer Heritage

2010-07-20T20:57:00.003-05:00

For our activity tonight we honored the church's pioneer heritage. The girls started with a rousing game of Blind Man's Bluff. This was a popular game with the pioneer children. One person is blindfolded. The goal for this person is to catch one of the other players and correctly guess who they are. The goal of the other players is to get as close to the blindfolded person as possible without getting caught. The girls had a blast playing this.
After playing this game we were all hungry so we made homemade ice cream. This recipe allowed the girls to use basic ingredients that you would generally find in your kitchen to make their own person serving of ice cream. The recipe is included below:

Homemade Ice Cream
1 Sandwich resealable bag
2 Tbsp of strawberry Nesquick, OR 1 tsp. vanilla, OR 2 Tbsp. Chocolate Syrup
1 Tbsp. sugar (1 1/2 Tbsp for vanilla).
1/2 c. milk (whole)
1 gallon size bag
4-5 handfuls ice
1/4 c. salt

Place ice and salt in gallon bag.

Put the flavor of choice (strawberry, vanilla, or chocolate), sugar, and milk in sandwich bag. Seal the bag trying to get most of the air out. Place bag in gallon bag and seal.

Place the bags on counter and turn bag repeatedly until mixture is firm. Serve in bowl. However you like your ice cream, hard or soft.

Here are pictures of the girls playing the game:

Bishop

2010-01-13T17:32:00.001-06:00

Our Bishop

Our Bishop's name is James Robert Durham. He was born November 27th. His favorite color is green. Bishop Durham went on a mission to Kobe Japan, where he served for 2 years. He felt great and humbled after his mission. He was married in the Los Angelas Temple, and he has 7 kids and some grand kids. He is a meat and potatoes kind of guy! One thing most people do not know is that he rides a unicycle and was able to shake President Kimballs hand. He does not know what "Twilight" is all about although when pressured he will say that he most likely would be on Team Jacob.
He has been our bishop for 2 years. His favorite part of being a Bishop is blessing families and visiting them in their homes. His favorite Young Women value is Integrity because he feels that this is the most important value in people.
Bishop Durham loves and supports the Young Women and you can find him at or around all of our activities, we are very thankful for our Bishop.

This past Friday everyone met at the church for a movie night - the Movie was "Forever Strong" and the youth were to bring homemade cars and friends. There was a raffle and the youth got 1 ticket for attending, 3 tickets for bringing a friend, and 3 tickets for bringing a car. This turned into a really great activity! We had a concession stand and during intermission there was a drawing for 2 gift certificates!

Westlake Youth United

2009-10-08T21:42:00.006-05:00

The young men and young women enjoyed a joint activity tonight focusing on unity. The evening started out with a short talk about unity by Cynthia. She used the following scripture during her talk, which sums up the goal for the evening:

John 17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

After the talk the youth sat down to dinner, where they were then tied up to each other by the wrist. This required the youth to work together to eat their dinner. They also were given one more rule, which was that they could not use their hands to eat their bread.
They were impressive in their unity. The groups even managed to get up from their tables and get seconds as a team all tied together. The youth were definitely united.

After dinner the youth had a relay race for dessert, jello. Apparently jello is not good when chugged. They then tied their hands in knots and had to untie it and end up in a circle. The final task was boys against girls. They held hands and had to move a hula-hoop stuck on their arms around the circle. The girls beat the boys by a fraction of a person.
All-in-all the youth became more united. We had a great time eating, playing games, and becoming more united.

Welcome!
