On Sunday evening, November 15, in the presence of other young women, parents and church leaders, Lisa Carson, daughter of Kendall and Mary Jean Carson and sister to Stephanie Bangerter, received her Young Womanhood Award. To earn this award - comparable to the Eagle Scout award - Young Women must live the standards outlined in For the Strength of Youth; complete six Value Experiences and one 10-hour Value Project for each of the seven values; keep a personal journal; and, record their testimony of the Savior Jesus Christ.
During the annual Young Woman in Excellence program, Lisa and another 15 young women of the Bloomington 7th Ward also celebrated their personal progress this year and shared their achievements in a variety of presentations. The purposes of the Young Women in Excellence program are to help acquaint parents with the Personal Progress and Young Women programs; give recognition to help each young woman to recognize the value of making Personal Program throughout her lifetime; and share the vision of Personal Progress with parents.
The sisters of the Bloomington 7th Ward Relief Society were also invited to participate in the evening since many have accepted the challenge to work toward completion of the newest Young Woman value of Virtue. At the conclusion of the evening, testimonies were written on slips of paper which were then attached to a helium-filled balloon before being released into the night sky. Thanks to all those who helped make this a beautiful event.
