We got to go to the Humanitarian Center for Young Women and Young men last night. The kids always seem to come out for this activity...we had a great turn out. It's great to see how they feel the joy of service!

We got to tie quilts for a change and it was a lot of fun!

The girls had done it before, but the young boys were clueless.

The missionary couple that was helping last night was really good with the kids though and showed them all how to do it. Most caught on real well. Some...not so much...but it was ok because the missionaries made each one feel like they were doing a great job!

Kelley was the best one in his row.
This is not his first quilt.
He got a call from Tye while he was quilting and had to explain what he was doing. I imagine he is getting a lot of crap from his friends at work about now.

We have a really great bunch of kids in YW and YM. It's pretty much a whole new group (except for Faith and Caitlin) since I was in ward Young Women. They are great girls though and it's been fun to get to know them. They amaze me every week with their knowledge of the gospel and strong testimonies. I was so impressed last Sunday when the lesson was about learning to be financially smart. Each one of the girls knew what she wanted to do for a career and had a plan of how she would get there. Some of them are already working toward their goals and are well on their way.

We celebrated Jenni's birthday last night. I got her a cute book from Seagull and a card for everyone to write a note to her in. We all sang happy birthday to her while we ate donuts out in the parking lot. She is such a great person...very easy going and sweet. She has a good relationship with all the girls and they love her.

I remember when I was president, she was an advisor for me so it's fun to have the tables turned and be able to support her in this calling.

This is the quilt I was working on. It was nice to visit with Greg, Jenni and the others. Greg said they have another grandchild that was going to be born that night. They just had a new one a few weeks ago and are expecting another later this summer. JEalous!

I am always impressed with the way Greg is with his younger girls. So sweet and kind. When I think of how far these girls have come from the time they were adopted, I am just amazed. They are great parents and have taught these girls well and loved them and have given them a wonderful life. It's pretty cool when you think about what a difference adoption can make in these young people's lives.
