o either did hear it or not, he basically talked about how Heavenly Father sends angels down here (most of the time it's just other people that he sends to help you) to help comfort you in your time of need. Now, I'm sure a lot of us have seen the email about how you have friends for a reason, season, and friends for life. Back when I was in high school and I'd get that, I'd think...ya, it's cute and catchy, but it doesn't really apply. YA RIGHT! Now that I look back over my life, I realize just how many times that Heavenly Father has sent people to help me either for a reason, season, or for life. Right now I'd like to take a second to thank those angels who've been sent to me...a lot of you guys apply to more than one group just so you know! To all the YW Leaders I've had since I turned 12: thank you so much for putting up with me! I pull
ed so many pranks on some of you that it's a wonder that you still talk to me! There were some years that I went through that were very difficult and some of you had to help me get through them. I know that it was probably one of the hardest things you've done. I know it is hard for me to know that I made you go through that. Some of you were leaders when I would go a little rebellious. Thanks for never giving up on me even though you probably could have. I said some things that I now regret to some of you....and I apologize from the bottom of my heart for those words I said. You guys made a huge difference in my life and I truly do love you!

You guys made a huge difference in my life and I truly do love you!To the YW Leaders I had right before I left for college: You guys are truly amazing! You guys helped prepare me to start my own life. It was extremely hard to leave you guys a month and a half ago. I'm so glad that I had the privilege of going to camp this past summer with you guys! It strengthened my testimony so much to see your guys's strength and testimonies.
To the
friends for a reason and a season: thanks for helping me through that time. Always remember that even though we lost touch, I am always forever grateful for the influence you had in my life. You guys also had a huge impact on the choices that I made. I am a different person because you were in my life for the reason that you were!

I never thought I would ever have friends for life. I'm so glad that I was able to get to know you! Your example and influ
ence is amazing to me. As I watch you in everyday life, I am able to grow so much and learn more than I ever thought possible! Always remember that I am here for you and that no matter where we go in life, we'll always be best friends! I hope that someday I can be the sort of friend that you have been to me!

I hope that someday I can be the sort of friend that you have been to me!And last but not least, to the YW in the Woodruff Ward: for the last part
of my senior year, you guys were my strength. You guys were the reason why I was happy. I looked forward to seeing you every Sunday and Wednesday! You were and
are pretty much my closest friends! I still look forward to coming home just so that I can see your smiling faces! It just brightens up my day. We've gone through so much together! Through the good and the bad, the joy and the sorrow, the happiness and the hurt, we stood TOGETHER! We were really like sisters! And we still are. There's n
o doubt in my mind that we were meant to be together during those years of YW's. There was a reason...and the reason is because we were able to help each other. When one girl was struggling, all 20 or so of us rushed to help her. I look up to you guys so much! You guys are my light...my strength! I wish I was still in YW's...but I know that the Laurels that are in now are as good if not better than me...and I'm so glad that they were able to take charge once I m
oved! You guys are amazing...your testimonies are so strong! At camp the past 2 years I was amazed at how strong you guys were and are. I was never that strong when I was that age...or at least I didn't think I was. Don't ever lose your testimonies! You guys are now the youth of the church...make that mean something! I hope you guys realize just how amazing you really are. No doubt about it...this is the strongest that the YW have been since the beginning of the ward (trust me...I went into YW soon after it started). Always stay unified! That's the only way
you'll stay strong. And above all else, stay who you are! You guys have the most unique personalities! It's amazing that people can be so different, but yet be like best friends! I love each one of you just the way you are! You can make me laugh even when I'm mad, you can make me smile even when I don't want to, and you have been my strength and sanity those last few months when I was in YW's. I love you guys soooo much and don't you ever forget it!!!

Wasn't camp a blast!?! It was a great last hurrah for all of us who left! I miss you, but I'm glad you're happy!
It was way fun! I wish I could go back and do it over...just so that we could all be together again! It's crazy how in just like 2 months everything changed a lot.
