Having our first Young Womens activity in our small branch!

By Kesley Pope
  
 A couple weeks ago we planned our very first Young Women's activity! When we first started talking about "young women's activities" they had no idea what that it was! It was my time to be a mini missionary! I was able to explain what you usually do and can do for activities! They were so interested in it!
     The upcoming sunday we were deciding what we should do for our activity. We had all sorts of ideas like, bowling, going to see a movie, going to get ice cream ect. Then one of our girls came up with an idea to go visit the less active members in the village (thats where all the girls live) I thought that was a great idea! Our final decision was to make home made cookies for these girls that were un-active in the church!

  That following Saturday Tasha and I made these really yummy cookies! We were all going to meet at the Kindergarten in the village. I was kinda scared cause I have never really seen a village before only in pictures! So I was nervous. To be honest me and Tasha thought no one was going to come! We thought it was just going to be us. We are driving there and I was so excited! We get to the elementary and one of our girls were there with the Young Women's president! We are waiting for the girls its been like 20 min or so! Then we see them come through the gate! All the girls were right there! It made me so happy that they all could make it!
     We start to walk towards the village its sooo hot outside like at least 90 degrees! They keep asking
"Are you okay? Do you need to rest?" Me and Tasha say no but secretly we are dying!! We get to the first girls house! And of course... She's not there! The family says give her 40 mins she will be back home soon! Ugh thats soo long! It was so hot also! I left the house and I went to play with the kids they were so cute oh my goodness! Finally the girl came back to the house and she was so happy to see us! She started to cry she says " I didn't know you guys really cared about me that much!" it was so cute! We gave her the cookies and she was just so thankful it was adorable!
     We start walking to the next girls house and we have seriously been walking for hours! Its killing Tasha and I. All the girls are so used to it! Its amazing! We get to the next girls house! She was really cute and kind! We got to share some thoughts with her and she was so happy and she says " I wont disappoint you ill be at church tomorrow!" - Next day at church I was able to bare my testimony in sacrament about what we did and how grateful I was to be able to do that activity! It was a unforgettable experience!
