I couldn't be prouder...

...of Shay. After serving in the Young Women in Ohio for several months, she realized that the girls in her ward were not working very hard at setting and achieving goals. She wondered what she could do to increase their desire to earn their medallion. Shay, wanting to be the best example possible, decided she would lead the way and earn her own medallion. She set goals and worked hard.

The goal I admire her for the most is reading the Book of Mormon all the way through. No small achievement given the fact her husband is NEVER home and she has 3small children who need rides to school, home from school, 3 meals a day plus several snacks in between, laundry, a dog, a home that needs vacuuming and scrubbing, and then the all consuming daily laundry.

It is something to be proud of when you are in Young Women and earn your Medallion, but to do it as an adult is a great achievement. How lucky for the Young Women of the Bay Village, Ohio, ward to have such a dedicated leader, who cares enough about them to give of her time, talents and energy to make their experience in Young Women better.

Shay, I couldn't be prouder of you!
