Rachel's night

Sweet Rachel received her Young Woman Recognition Award tonight. We had a lovely evening with an overview of the program and a song by the young women. Her Mia Maid leader gave some remarks. I also said a few words and Mark, as her bishop, presented the award. We also had a slide show of pictures of her since she was little. It was so sweet and made me realize how fast she's grown up. She invited several non-members and 4 came. Rachel had made invitations and so random ward members came as well. I had made rice krispie treats (one of my specialties)and brownies along with a few of her favorite Halloween treats. At the end the YW President asked her if she wanted to say a few remarks, and so she did. It was sweet. She basically spoke to the YW in the ward and encouraged them to work towards receiving their awards also. She is by far the most mature one in the group, and a great example.
