Aspen Receives YW Recognition Award

Aspen Erskine has faithfully completed all the requirements necessary to receive the Young Womanhood Award and was recognized for her accomplishment, by Bishop Mike Bair, during a recent Sacrament meeting. 

The Young Womanhood Award recognizes young women in the Bloomington 7thWard and throughout the church for worthiness and for completing Personal Progress requirements. As a recipient of the award, Aspen has shown she honors her commitment to live the commandments and the standards of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in an established pattern of progress in her life and as stated in For the Strength of Youth. Through her Personal Progress, the daughter of Jerry and Lorraine Erskine, has committed herself to keeping her baptismal covenants as she prepares to make sacred temple covenants, serve those in need by sharing her gifts and talents, and striving to strengthen her home and family.

Former YW President Cheryl Kanenwisher states, “Aspen has worked hard to complete her YW's recognition during her senior year in high school, demonstrating her great faith and integrity.  She may be quiet but Aspen has a strong testimony and love for her Savior, Jesus Christ.  She knows and understands she is a daughter of God.  Aspen is a great strength in the B7 YW's program and her tender heart softens us all.  I'm so grateful I was able to serve with this beautiful YW because she is a great example to me and I love her very much."
