Hello! My name is Mikaela. My hope for the YPD this year
is that we continue to grow in our friendships with each
other, and to always be excited about getting together and
giving a helping hand to those that may need us to help
them. I would like to see us to continue loving our Lord,
Jesus Christ, for we know He will make all of our dreams
come true. And I also want to ensure in my term that the
little YPDers have as much fun in YPD as I did growing up
in the church. Thank you to everybody for being in my life.

While most people are aware of breast cancer, many do not take
the steps needed to help in early detection of the disease.
Jamie made cakes and cupcakes and for a small donation,
collected money from people to donate to the cancer society to
