In Relief Society last Sunday the Relief Society Presidency invited the Young Women who are graduating from High School come in to Relief Society. They displayed a picture of each girl and had each of the mom's give a spotlight about them. I have included a little bit about Janika below:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Janika is the oldest of our seven
children and has always been a tremendous help to me. She serves her family in numerous ways. She takes care of her younger siblings and
will do fun projects with them. Her
sisters love to have Janika paint their nails or give them make-overs. She loves to cook and is often trying out new
recipes as she makes meals for our family.
I have had many friends tell me, “Can I have her? I really need a Janika at my house!”
Janika had a very busy Senior year. She represented her school as the Sterling
Scholar in Family and Consumer Science (FACS) and also represented our city of Santa Clara as the Santa Clara Princess. She was also
the Seminary Council President this past year at Tuacahn High School. Janika earned 17 credits of college credit through concurrent enrollment classes
at Dixie University this past year along with her regular high school classes.
Janika has received several academic scholarship, but has decided on Snow College. She wants to attend a mission and eventually graduate from College as a marriage and family therapist.
Janika loves to sing and has performed
throughout the community for many years in a variety of ways. She was in madrigals at Snow Canyon High
School and has also been a member of the Hands in Harmony Carolers ever since
she was eight years old. Janika even had
the opportunity to perform in the Broadway show of Les Miserables at Tuacahn as
young Eponine when she was twelve years old.
Janika has many talents which
include singing, performing, cooking, sign language, academics, taking care of
children, and reaching out to others. Janika enjoys creating things and
loves to find new ideas for “do-it-yourself” projects on Pinterest.
Janika is a remarkable young woman
who truly exemplifies the young women values in all that she says and does! She
is very Christ-like and service oriented and is often doing things for other
people. She is very responsible and dependable. She is a wonderful example to her
family. I feel very privileged to have
Janika for a daughter. I have come to
depend on her in so many ways and love to spend time with her. I will really miss her when she goes off to
college!

Tonight for Young Women's they had a little party for all of the Laurels who were graduating from Young Women's. The Young Women's leader, Sister Lindsey, asked the parents to bring over a picture of their daughter as a Beehive along with a current picture to see how they had changed during their Young Women years. Here are Janika's pictures. She was beautiful then and now!
