Mountainside Youth Leadership Group 2013

Jord is part of the cute youth leadership group at her school.  I am fortunate enough to be the parent over the group and I love it!  These kids are the most delightful, fun and polite children ever!  We meet every other Monday and I look forward to every meeting!  The group will often open assemblies and are supposed to be an example of respect to all the students in the school.  Here they are opening up the first assembly of the year.

In the middle of October we took the MYL to BYU to a Youth Leadership Conference.  Several years ago I went with Taylor when she was part of the group.  I had been looking forward to it for years!  I know, that sounds strange but this conference is THAT GOOD!  I truly loved every second of it!!

 Jord and Ali waiting for our favorite speaker to start.  Jason Hewlett is his name and we have been singing his song for the past 4 years.  Jordan was so excited to meet him AND he knows Jeff so he gave Jord a little special treatment.  

 Jason's presentation was titled "Head to Heart"  He shared how when children are little they act from their hearts and then as they get older they begin to function to much from their head.  He said when we function from our head we are listening to what the world has to say that is negative about us and we in turn hold ourselves back.  WOW!  So true!!  Love him!

Jord has had a great year so far.  Here are a few additional facts about Jord in 4th grade:

She is a fashion diva.  She is so picking it often drives me crazy!  I wonder where she got it:)

 Jordan's class is probably my favorite ever!  Her class is full of the cutest kids with awesome parents. Here she is doing a book report at school.
