To Our Dear Mia Maids
Dear Girls,
I am so excited to be called to be your new advisor. I love Young Women and I already love you...even though I don’t know you well yet. I can’t wait to get to know you and become good friends. My hope for our class is that we will be a unified group of girls that really love and care for each other and help each other through all the things in life.
This is a special time in your life to develop yourself and understand the divine nature and purpose you have. I love the values in the Young Women program because they are eternal principles that will go with you all your life. When I earned my medallion as a leader ( they didn’t have the program when I was your age), I was thrilled to be a part of something so grand. I had many good young women leaders who helped me along the path and I hope I can do that for you.
Sister Hoffmann and I wanted to give these notebooks so you could save handouts, quotes, stories, letters, or whatever we may talk about or do in our class . Then you can look at it periodically and remember all the things you have learned. I think it will be a strength to you in your life. I loved to look back at things my teachers taught me and the fun things I did as a young women. We will give you lots of things to keep and you can add your own whenever you want.
I want you to know you can call, text, facebook, twitter, link me in, email, blog...whatever me anytime. And I know Sister Hoffmann feels the same way. Although I am much older than you, I am hip to the scene with all this social networking :) ...I didn’t want to get left in the dust. My Lindsay helped figure it out a few years ago when she was a teenager. I know it is the language you speak. I want to help you however I can.
I love the gospel and I know the most important thing you can do in this life is gain a testimony and strive to follow the savior.
Love, Sister Romans

Cultivate an attitude of happiness. Cultivate a spirit of optimism.
Walk with faith, rejoicing in the beauties of nature, in the goodness
of those you love, in the testimony which you carry in your heart
concerning things divine." --Gordon B. Hinckley
