New Beginnings 2010

Blakely has been a Beehive for almost a year now. In YW, we just had our New Beginnings which introduces the new Beehives from the previous year. We asked each mom and dad to introduce their daughter on how they examplify the theme for the year; "Be strong and of good courage." I want to write down what we said for Blakely. Blakely, you are the first born into our family. Heavenly Father gave you courage to come to your inexperienced parents and endure through our mistakes. You always had a strong desire to know the truth and staying strong in that desire. At the age of six you wanted scriptures for your birthday. You love to learn. You are not afraid to learn something new. You are not afraid to be an individual in your interests. As you enter into this next phrase of your life we want you to know how much we love you and we are grateful for your strength. You must be strong and not wavier in this path. Right now you are learning what you need to do to return to your Heavenly Father. Be happy as you do this. Be strong even when others; even your examples may falter.
