For Such a Time as This

I spent two days with the Young Women at camp Zion this week. I drove them up on the first day and helped to set up camp and spent a few hours with them as they prepared for a week of learning new skills, fun, friendship and inspiration. I knew they would feel the spirit as they focused on the them and learned about the courage needed to be what the Lord wants them to be. 

Our ward theme was Golden Olympians, with the motto of "going for the gold". We don't want to settle for less than the best of ourselves and our choices.

When I returned with Kelly on Thursday for bishop's night, we found a group of girls who were a little dirtier and tired from their challenges, but their countenances were bright. They glowed with love for each other and the conviction of being able to do whatever the Lord would ask of them. They knew they were born for such a time as this.

Right in the middle of cooking dinner the clouds let loose and we were showered with rain. But after the rain comes the rainbow...and it was a beauty.
