Secret Sisters, Start Your Engenues!

Guess Who?
Dear Secret Sister,
See below.
Love, Me.

Dear Everyone Else,

May I have a picture of your beautiful self?  You can PM it to me on FB or email it to me (my address is available on https://ward.lds.org).  I'd prefer pictures that are full of personality.  I'd also like a clue or three about you for our upcoming "Guess Who" game for the Young Women.  Feel free to contribute clues about other sisters (and how unique and wonderful they are).

If you don't send me a picture, I am not above taking a snap of you papparazzi-style. I cannot guarantee this will be flattering.

Thanks,

Heidi

Dear Secret Sisters,

Now's the time to start surprising your assigned Young Woman with a surprise this week.  Do something nice for her this week, as often as you feel comfortable.  We want to give the Young Women of our ward a better feeling towards Relief Society.

You know how wonderful our sisterhood is. Share that love.  Express to her "You are a beloved daughter of God" (our theme).

Don't let them guess who you are; that time will come.

Wednesday 11 September is our combined RS/YW activity, 7:00pm at the Chapel.  We will be playing "Guess Who".  (That's what the pictures and descriptions are for.)  Not only will our Young Women be guessing who their Secret Sister is, we're going to see if they can guess our many Relief Society sisters from the given clues.

If you are in need of further clues (like an address) regarding your assigned Young Woman, PM or email (or even use the old-fashioned telephone) to contact me. I'm happy to give you as many clues as I have.

Love,

Me
