On Friday morning, our ward was in charge of the Flag raising. Erika was the Stake YCL that morning also who conducted the meeting. We also did a presentation on our banner and scripture and then we performed our YW Theme in ASL that we have been practicing for a couple of months. As you can see, Erika has a hat and gloves on. This day was overcast and a little bit of rain and cold tempertures. I am pretty sure that all the young women wore two jackets all day and many wore hats and gloves. We did some ward crafts inside the cabin, because it was windy and cold. Luckily, we had two cabins, so one was to sleep in and the other was for our food and other items. It was nice to have the extra room to go inside. We made felt covers for the mini book of mormons. The girls thought it was great and they were able to get some of their creative juices out. I read them a story of "The Parable of the 3 Princesses." while they were working on it. It is the story of three princesses who must leave their father, the King, and travel to a new place that is hard and much more plain than their amazing kingdom back home. The princesses are to work hard and build their own castles in preparation for their father to return and get them. All the girls loved the story and knew what it was about when we were done. We had our Stake singing trees that night, and our ward sang, "I Know that my redeemer lives." I was a cold night, but a great spiritual experience for all of us.
