Camp Kickoff!



Our camp kickoff was held on March 7th at the Stake Center and was AMAZING!! THere were great cheers, beautiful banners, a spiritual program and prizes given out to several wards. 

Lori Fano, Makay Tautu, Joann AhYou, Luisa Kuaea and Julie Kaio 
We were excited to introduce the theme to the YW and help them feel of the power that comes from a strong testimony.  We shared examples of women who has that fire from the scriptures and encouraged the girls to keep their fires burning strong!

The decorations were so colorful and beautiful!
Each DISTRICT (Ward) brought a banner that represented the value that they were assigned. There were many creative and beautiful banners! 

Each YW and leader had the chance to writer their testimony on a small colored flag which will be hung at girls camp. If girls in your ward were not able to attend we would still love for them to participate in this. 
We ended the evening with comments from President Paongo. He is FIRED UP and encouraged every young woman to make the commitment to be girls camp. After the program we had these yummy cupcakes.
