Inner Beauty Pageant

Last month our Young Women held their annual Young Women in Excellence Program.  They held and Inner Beauty Pageant for their families.  They spiffed themselves up by wearing used prom dresses or their nicest dresses they owned.  Some women in the ward volunteered their time & talents to do their hair & makeup for this special occasion.  One by one, each girl was called out on the stage dressed beautifully & wearing a crown.  A bishopric member then read a short description of their qualities and accomplishments written by their mothers before hand.  The girls then walked down the stairs, helped by their beloved bishop.  They were given a red rose & asked a question about their goals and accomplishments they've made through the Personal Progress Program.  It was a wonderful event for the girls & I, as a mom, thoroughly enjoyed it!  It was awesome to hear & learn about each girl and see just how beautiful they all are.  The inner beauty of each one truly shined through!
