Girls Camp: A Note to Parents

Hello parents!

As we prepare for girls camp this year, we want to take a moment to invite you to be part of something meaningful in your daughter's experience.

One of the most powerful influences in a young woman's life is the voice of her parents. We encourage one or both of you to write a personal letter to your daughter that she can open while at camp (we'll be opening them on Tuesday afternoon as part of a devotional and personal study). In your letter, we invite you to include words of encouragement, expressions of love, and specific things you admire about her—her strengths, her goodness, and the light you see in her.

Most importantly, we ask that you share your testimony. Your simple, sincere witness of God, your faith in Jesus Christ, and the role they play in your life can have a lasting and profound impact. These words often become treasured reminders of truth and identity during a time when young women are seeking both.

Girls camp is a special opportunity for your daughter to grow spiritually, build friendships, and strengthen her relationship with her Savior. Your letter can help anchor that experience in something deeply personal and lasting.

If you can hand write it and get it to either Casey Gibson or Jana Rasband, we'll be collecting them. If you do need to type and email it though, we can get them printed before camp.

Thank you for your support and for the love you so clearly show your daughters each day. We sure love your girls!

Thank you so much!

Love, the YW leaders

Elders Quorum:

WhatsApp has been selected as the 43rd Ward Elder’s Quorum communication tool.
Install WhatsApp on your mobile device and join the “43rd Ward Elder’s Quorum” community to receive General Messages, Notices on Activities and Service Opportunities, and to post chats related to the Elders Quorum.

  • Why WhatsApp instead of text messaging:  The church does not have a general text messaging service which makes it difficult to send group-wide messages among the various cell phone companies.  WhatsApp is secure and encrypted and many other wards are using WhatsApp for messaging.  The WhatsApp application runs on your mobile phone, tablet, PC, or via the Web and your WhatsApp account can be sync’d between all your devices if you install WhatsApp on more than one device.

  • WhatsApp Installation instructions are detailed in the Word document linked below.  Open and follow the instructions.  If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out to any member of the Elders Quorum presidency.CLICK HERE for installation instructions.
