Young Women in Excellence: "Shine Your Light"

We just had a great Evening of Excellence 

with our Young Women.

Our theme was "Shine Your Light."

The Young Women sang "Share His Light"

by Jenny Phillips.

Our YW First Counselor

had taken beautiful backlit photos of each girl,

which we displayed next to these adorable

lightbulb candy jars from Hobby Lobby

 filled with Lemonheads.

One of our Relief Society teachers

gave a talk on being "photogenic,"

following an idea from this blog.

Since "photo" means light,

and "genic" means life,

anyone with the Light of Christ

is photogenic.

She brought a picture of herself

in her most photogenic moment:

with her grandchildren.

Each girl stood and talked about
 a value experience

that she had worked on this year

and that had made a difference in her life.

(This was the best part of the evening!)

Our wonderful Bishop added some remarks.

And then, 

of course,

REFRESHMENTS!

Everything in lemon flavors or yellow colors.

It was a delightful evening!
