Young Women ~ July

😎 And all of a sudden it's HOT! ðŸ˜Ž

Our busy summer of faith, friends, and fun continues! I love that the Youth Theme this year is "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." This truth was the focus of June's Youth Conferences, and it is the focus of CAMP at the end of this month. The Young Women always hear me say, "I can do hard things." I love that my mantra has been refined this year: I still know can do hard things, but I realize I can do them because Jesus Christ is my Savior, and He gives me the strength, courage, and encouragement I need.

Here's what's coming up in July:

SUNDAYS 
In June we discussed how to grow closer to our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, and Laura Webster lead a fantastic discussion about Jesus Christ's atonement. Thank you!
