And the Winner Is...

With only three comments on my 500th blog post the chances are very good!!  So the winner of one dozen cupcakes of your choice goes to my Dad!!!

I think he won the last contest I had too!!!  Oh well, he can't make any for himself and he is always very faithful about reading my blog.  So faithful in fact that I get reminded to update it when the same post has been up for more than a week!

We had a super fun activity with the Young Women last night, sorry no pictures as I was busy learning!!!  We have decided to divide the weeks up and rotate through who is in charge of the activity for the week!!  What a great idea, as it provides variety and the leaders aren't having to think of something fun and exciting every week for the girls!  This was my week!

I had asked Jared if he would be able to teach the girls how to change a tire and change the oil in their car!  He was totally up for it, even with his busy schedule!  We used our Jimmy for teaching purposes, and thankfully too as it was way over due to have the oil changed!  First the girls located the tools needed to change a tire.  Then they each took a turn loosening the lug nuts and jacking the jimmy up.  They did well at changing the tire and we even were treated to some Chelsea techniques that were really quite ingenious!!!

Onto the oil change!  Each of the girls got under the vehicle and located where the oil plug was and the oil filter!  Emry took the plug out and Chelsea changed the filter.  Elista and Autumn were in love with Gibson and spent a lot of time petting him, much to his delight!!  Jared put the plug back in and Elista filled the jimmy with oil!!  Emry started it up and to our great surprise there were no leaks!!  They did a wonderful job!!  Autumn checked the air filter and filled up the windshield washer fluid!  They all seemed to have a really good time and learned so much!!  I told them they would be able to teach their future husbands how to do this!!  They all hoped their husbands would already know how to do it!!  Even Melanie said she learned a lot, and it was great to be brushed up on her tire changing skills!!  After, we had popsicles and Emry took the girls for a tour on the quad to see the baby calves!  A highlight for sure! 

I love being in the Young Women's, especially with Emry, but all the girls are wonderful and make each Sunday lesson and Tuesday activity special!  I love getting to know them better, I love hearing about their days, their challenges and their successes!!  I love serving with Heather and Melanie and have learned so much from each of them!  They truly are examples to me!
