Young Women's / My Birthday

Last week was my very first day of young womens. I first had an interview with the bishop. During the interview he wanted me to say the eleventh article of faith to him. I barely knew it so I told him I memorized them all but I couldn't really remember them and he told me I could look at the article of faith paper a few times. I was just happy because he let it slide so I got my Faith in God award. Then he gave me a temple recommend! Which was cool. Then I was done and it was time for church. I got called me up in front of everybody! It was fun going up, and I kept telling myself "Be strong!" He said "Madison Flynn turned twelve today and has earned her temple recommend and her Faith in God award." Then I went back and sat down. It was supposed to be my very first week of young womens but it was Ward conference, so today was pretty much my very first real week at young womens! It was fun. I felt very welcomed by the other beehives.
Also my birthday party was last week and it was my favorite birthday party ever! I invited nine friends and we went to the Kangaroo zoo. (kangaroo zoo is a huge bounce house) It was very fun and we played "follow the judge" there. Then we left and we came back to my house and ate pizza and had cake and presents. One of my presents was a cell phone! It is my very first phone!!! Then we went downstairs to my room. While we were at Kangaroo zoo, the beehives (young women) went into our house and decked out my room with decorations and then left. There were decorations everywhere and gushers too! It was a huge surprise. Then we played with my birthday toys. It was a lot of fun!!! Oh--I got a really nice new bike too. It's fun being 12!
