My name is Leah Conrad, I’m in the 6th grade and I am the Holliday 4-H Club Secretary. My job is to take notes and write the meeting minutes to be reviewed at the next meeting. My job is important so those that may have to miss a meeting can look at the minutes to see what they missed, as well as keeping a record of our club meetings. This is my second year in 4-H. My 4-H activities include Archery, AG Product Identification, Dog Club, Food Show, and Food Challenge, and Shooting Sports Quiz Bowl to name a few. I’ve gotten to complete on local, district, state and national levels this year.

Most of my articles are geared to application but I desire this article to be a thank you letter to all the faithful Christian mothers. The Christian community is indebted to all the faithful mothers who have poured into their children. I wonder where the church would be if it were not for the faithful and God fearing mothers who saw their homes as their ministry. You can hardly meet a godly man or woman who was not impacted by a godly mother or grandmother. As I thank the mothers for the hard work they do, I also want to encourage you.
