Dearest YW Leaders,
I served as YW President in the Kensington Ward for 2 years. For most of the time I felt frazzled, discouraged, out of my league, and wondered if I was making a difference. So I was really surprised when my daughter commented one day "You were so happy when you were YW President~ It was the happiest time of your life!" From her perspective, I was busy, involved, serving and thinking of others. When I look back now, I can see she was right. It was a choice time of my life.
Does this time feel like "the happiest time of your life?" It may not feel that way right now, but as you lose yourself in the service of God and others, you will look back on all the sacrifices you made and feel joy. I promise that you will be blessed in overcoming the challenges. We can't lose with the Savior as our Leader. He loves you and each of the YW so dearly.
Thank you for all you are doing. The Lord is pleased with your service. I am in awe of your devotion and dedication to our beautiful YW as I have visited wards and seen many of you at Stake events. So dear sisters : "Let us cheerfully do all things that lie within our power; and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance to see the salvation of God and for His arm to be revealed." D&C 123:17.
I love you! We can accomplish all things through Christ who strengthens us.
Sister Linda Spencer
