Women's Conference

BYU Women's Conference was this past weekend, and it was amazing! I have to say it was the best year ever. We stayed in the dorms on campus this year, which took out a lot of driving time, and it was just like a grown-up sleepover. Amazingly we did actually get some sleep! The classes were uplifting and inspiring, especially the closing session on Friday afternoon. Our speaker, announced last minute, was the new prophet, President Thomas S. Monson. You could feel the spirit and the power of his calling the moment he walked into the room. He gave a blessing to all the women in attendance, and I would assume all the women of the church, to have peace, and to find joy in the journey. He also counseled us to never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved. It was a wonderful opportunity to sit at the feet of a latter day prophet and hear his counsel. I hope more sisters can come next year, even if it's just for the slumber party! I love you guys!
