Well it was official today... I knew for months now that this day was coming. It took so much longer than we all thought it would, but they finally booted us out of YW's! I had been serving in the presidency as the 1st counselor for 2 years and I have loved every single girl... every single leader... and every single moment of those 2 years!
My heart has always been and will always be in YW's. There is no other calling that I have loved as much as serving the girls. I loved to plan with them and lead them and most importantly learn from them. Each one of them has touched me so deeply.
I grew close to so many that I truly feel like they are my daughters. I have watched Hannah and Hayley and Stephanie, Kylie and Taylor grow from little beehives to the laurels that they are... I have been in with my beloved Natalie and have cherished that more than words can express. I am sad that I didn't get to know some of the girls that just came into my class like I would have liked, but I will miss my little class... Megan, Korie, Allie, Ali... they have been a great presidency! Melissa, Ashlyn, Maddie, Paula Chelsie, Camille HOW I WILL MISS YOU ALL SO MUCH! I absolutely loved teaching you and learning from you and playing with you I will miss our weekly texting and all our talkes! You made me laugh and cry and just feel so great about the future of this world and this Gospel!
I am crying as I type this, because I feel a hole is in my heart !!! I know that the future will be bright and that the leaders you will have now will love you like I do... you will laugh and cry with them and have great memories! Cherish them!
I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for me now... I know that He loves me and is mindful of my sadness and will be with me in my new adventure!

It was a rough day yesterday and I know the girls will all miss you and that they will always remember all you've taught them. I could tell by their testimonies that they all love you! You've done an awesome job!
YW really is the BEST calling - I know I cried when I left those girls too! You are an awesome leader, I'm sure they're sad you are gone now too :(
As a mom of one your YW I just want to say Thank You for all you have done for my daughter. I know she loves you and is a better person for having you as her leader. Thanks for loving her and sacrificing on her behalf. You're the best JEN!!!
