Young Women Are Recognized
A special dinner and program were held May 7, 2014 to honor young women who have earned their Young Women Recognition Award. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has a program for girls from the ages of 12 years to 18 years that consists of goal-setting and achievement in personal and spiritual aspects of their lives. At this year’s event 22 young women of the valley were recognized for their accomplishments and successful completion of the requirements. Each completed a series of value experiences and prepared and delivered a value project that required 10 or more hours of preparation and execution. These endeavors were overseen and approved by leaders and parents.
The program was organized by Ashley Bunker and consisted of a wonderful dinner for the honored young women and their parents followed by a program attended by all the young men and women of the Mesquite Nevada Stake. Special musical numbers and inspiring talks were presented to the young people and their leaders, stake presidency, and bishops.
