It has been such a privilege and honor to serve as the young women's leader the past couple years. As I told the girls on Sunday, they helped turn what could have been two of the hardest years of my life into two of the most beautiful and testimony-building years of my life. I was loved, sustained, and full of purpose every day that I could be in their presence and working for them! I never would have foreseen the day when I would willingly tell the Bishop that I may need to pass the leadership torch onto someone else, but life has come to that. I just got to the point where it didn't feel right that I couldn't give the best me to either my family or the young women; and when it comes down to the need to please, family must come first.
I'm so excited that Mama Spease will be running the program now, and look forward to watch the young women learn and flourish under her loving guidance!

Thank you for being such an incredible inspiration and example to my girls!!They have really loved having you be their YW leader and friend!
