My first YW Missionary

One of my old Laurel's from YW is preparing to enter the MTC in July!!!  She will be serving at Winter's Quarters, Nebraska Omaha mission-----------I just may have to take a historical trip out there next year for a hug.  This young woman is exceptional!  She played soccer, Lacrosse and cross country during her high school.  She was beautiful, hardly ever wore much makeup, that athletic glow always shown through!

She would welcome the little Beehives in with so much love and tenderness~She came to camp as an assistant for two years after she graduated and did High Adventure.  She introduced me to Brian Regan's humor~~thanks for that!!!

Her insights into the scriptures during lessons was profound for someone so young.   She has been attending Utah State the last three years and anyone that can brave winters there comes from tough stock!

She is naturally a little shy but always speaks up if asked something about the gospel or her standards.  her Testimony was always, "that it's just so much easier to obey~~yet she never judged others harshly" - just a smart, pretty, confidant young woman who loves the Lord.  I was the Teacher but learned so much from her and am so proud to call her friend.  Good Luck Cindy on your mission~you will be awesome!

Serving in a visitor's center is sooo much fun. So many unique experiences than proselyting or even Temple Square. I loved Independence. Wish her luck!!
