The theme was "We seek after these things" from 13th Article of Faith.
Each girl was asked to dress up like a Treasure Hunter. Most of the girls did not dress up, but Alyssa did and she looked adorable (I won't be able to call her that much longer.) Then they had to use their book of clues to find several items. The items ended up being charms for a key ring and each charm was a young women's value with a scripture so there was
Faith --Faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore, if ye have faith, ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true (Alma 32:21)
Individual Worth--Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of god (Doctrine and Covenants 18:10)
Divine Nature--Be partakers of the divine nature. . . Giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity (2 Peter 1:4-7)
Good Works--Therefore let your light so shine before this people, that they may see your good works and glorify your father who is in heaven (3 Nephi 12:16)
Integrity--Till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me (Job 27:5)
Knowledge--Seek learning, even by study and also by faith (Doctrine and Covenants 88:118)
Choice and Accountability--Choose you this day whom ye will serve . . . but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord (Joshua 24:15)
Virtue--Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies (Proverbs 31:10).
Then at the end of finding all the charms for their key ring they came back to the Young Women's room that had the TREASURE.
Jason was making fun of me taking pictures, in fact he had just said "Really" you can see it on his face. Alyssa wasn't real thrilled about pictures either, but I told her I had to document this special night.

Looks like a fun night! -Jen
That's a great trunk full of treasure! I like the idea and Alyssa looks like a true treasure hunter!
It's an exciting time of life for her. Glad you captured it on camera.
Is it strange to know your daughter is now going into yw?? Looks like you have well prepared leaders, and that makes all the difference! She's going to love going to mutual.
Wow! What a wonderful program. I'm sure it made Alyssa super excited to be in yw. I can't belive she's almost 12! She looks adorable in her hunters clothes.
I did have fun!
The cake was good but it had to much frosting.
