This year I was so excited to get to see Stephanie Nielson (nienie, see her post about it here), and her sisters Courtney (cjane), Lucy, and Paige at one of the sessions! She just radiates beauty! I snapped a picture just as they were saying not to take pictures...whoops! (It's pretty blurry because I was hurrying to lower my camera)
My favorite part was when Courtney called President Uchtdorf a Silver Fox. Hillarious!
We also heard Julie Beck (Relief Society General President) at the opening session, and Elder David A. Bednar and his wife speak at the closing session.There seemed to be a common theme among all the sessions....I think this quote from one of the speakers summed it all up.
"God knows you by name and has a plan for your life. Magnify the gifts he has planted in your heart"
He needs us to be the women we were meant to be, and he needs us to be it now.
"Our small efforts, by each of our hands, contribute to preparing this earth for the coming of the Savior" -Stephanie Nielsen
I also loved this quote: "Eternity doesn't start when we die...it begins as a family."
Talk about a room filled with the spirit....23,000 women who have spent the day being spiritually uplifted and celebrated, all in one room. It creates alot of emotion.
I love that feeling of being united.
What an incredible day....Ok, I have to share one more thought...and then I'm done.
"Life will shatter for each of us. We don't know what hidden pains are eating others. Be kind to everyone, everywhere, all of the time."
