Hey, I'm about to join Young Women. My birthday is this month (January). Is it scary when you first get there? Any special requirements to go? I feel like I know nothing about it, even though I've been part of the LDS church my whole life.

Hi! I joined YW this month too!! Sunday- it is a little scary, but at least in my ward everyone is sooo nice! Wednesday- Its also a little scary, but once you start doing the activity you just forget it all, and have fun!
Girls, don't worry. I was scared when i first joined but trust me it is soo much fun. One hint is to really do your personal progress and don't be afraid to get involved. The more you get involved the more fun it will be.
Yes, and if you already have friends in YW, its even better. YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!! And dont be nervous, its not scary at all! I just joined two years ago. :D
Yep i'm a laural now. IT is fun. One of the reasons i like it is b/c my stake meets as a group every week for the activity. So i get to know girls from all over the city and from 4 diff. high schools.
Haha don't worry, it isn't that bad. My birthday is in January too ((tomorrow!!)) so i was the oldest. It is really fun though. when we sang the opening hymn it was so pretty! and the activities are really fun too. Don't worry!
Ya. How many girls are in your wards? (that come on sunday?)
I have between 10-15. But my friend has 30 in her ward. :D We have wayyyyyy more primary kids than we have YM and YW. *sigh* Hey, you you have any tips on how to get inactives to come to church without pushing them too much?
theres 23 beehives in my ward!

I have about twenty or thirty in all.
23 BEEHIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOw, we have 5 (counting me) and 2 are inactive.
WOW you guys are soo lucky. In my ward its me and my sister and every other week this one other girl. then in my stake we can get 15 to 20 girls to come on a good week. Cristi a good way to get girls to come is to start with just being their friend. Try geting them to come to yw durring the week first then get them to come on sunday. We have a lot of inactive girls in my ward and stake and we are always working on that. Let them know that you realy want them there.
I know! And I do but......they ignor me. :(
YW is so fun and way better than primary. We have lots of fun, but one thing i look forward for is Young Women's camp or girls camp. Is is YW camp or Girls camp??
i call it girls camp
i cant wait for girls camp! im soo nervous, but sooo excited!
i cant wait for girls camp! im soo nervous, but sooo excited!
yeah i call it girls camp too but some people call it YW camp
I call it girls camp. ANd dont be nervous! Its sooooooooo much fun! This was my first year.
oh guys, guess what?! Sad day...I was released from my presidency. I was president of the beehives but they change it every six months.' don't know whatcha got tell its gone....' Sad!!
Oh, Im sorry. But be happy for the new president! And give her advice. I sure wish that our old beehive president (who is now the secretary) would give ME advice (Im the Beehive president).
ohh wow. i am the first counseler in the beehive presidency. it is really fun, i especially love to plan the activities, thats reallly fun
Nice. You guys want to see something awesome. So, when you go on goodreads, it says like "the greatest books ever" and the BOok of Mormon was number 2. AMAZING HUH?!

"my fourth years" [thts wht i call em:] and i are crazy together theres 6 of us me lucy corly madie shanbuddy and lexie
Yeah i think its so great that the BoM got 2nd its so cool that many people have read it.
it's a great book. some ppl don't get how it helps us, but i finally do. *sigh* i can't wait till my bday (1/26), i don't get what people are talking about since i'm not in YW quite yet.
Oh, when you get in you will be on cloud 9. :D ANd Dannee, they invented commas for a reason (sorry, that was NOT meant to be rude, it is just really bothersome to me when people dont use correct punctuation. :D)
i dont believe in correct punctuation like i also dont believe in shoes, time, or capital letters (except in english or when showing emphasis)
I agree with Dannee, i hate spelling too.
I dislike spelling, but it always gives me a headache to read stuff without punctuation. At least put in periods, please? Im sorry to be a bother. :(
but i dont write in complete sentences!
Which can get problamatic. OH well. Ignor the grumbling kiwi (thats what my friends call me.) :D
Like Kiwi bird or fruit? I like the bird more (They are my fav animal!)
And I take being silly as a compliment, so if you want to insult me, come up with something better! *note* I know that that wasnt an insult, just a happy thought, right?
Just so you know, Cristi, I'm with you about the punctuation and grammar thing. It's always tough to decode bad punctuation/grammar. However, I'm a total English nut so I actually love spelling ***slinks off so that nobody can laugh at idiocy***

kiwi fruit and btw i learned to talk and write my name in a very small town where the most popular footwear is bare feet so i kinda have an excuse
Anyone wanna tell me anything really exciting that happens in YW? Something personal or something that you'll never forget that happened in YW? Do you become really close with your YW class?
IM SO SAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They reorganized my YW presidancy, and they took away my beehive advisor whom I love! Now Im SAD!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(
i don't like when they call new people. it's nice to meet new people. in my ward, they redid the YW presidency and Primary Presidency.
i HAVE SOMETHING THAT IS SUPER FUN! The beehive Father Daughter Dance! Our stake had ours last night and it was so much fun! My dad and I aren't really close, but I think that this brought us closer together!

exciting tht happens in yw...hmmmm.. well when you turn 14 you getta go to dances (!!!) and my ward and another ward in my stake was asked to plan the feb. dance and the theme is wayy awesome --prince and princess--im soo pumped im gonna be giselle [from enchanted:] and my bro is gonna be prince edward! another fun thing is girls camp! its my fave part of the summer (that and efy)
Im not 14 yet (sad I know) so I cant go to dances. Not that I really want to..... all the guys in my stake are odd.... or at least the ones in my ward..........
:D *sigh* :( Im sad. My dad went to Las Vegas. He is ALWAYS GOING ON BUISINESS TRIPS!!!!!!! ANd he always has to work late. :( *sniffle*
Same with my dad, Cristi. Right now he's probably in Seattle right now.
We feel eachother's pain, dont we?
