A BIG thanks to Camille who got all the girls tickets to the Relief Society Broadcast last week. I don't know about them, but I had a great night! Heidi and I met April at her house and then the three of us met Rachelle and Camille in Salt Lake. We forgot which street Camille lived on and were pretty close to being late and losing our seats so Matt dropped us off a couple blocks away from the Conference Center. We speed-walked the rest of the way and made it with a few minutes to spare!
The Broadcast was great and I think we were all spiritually fed. I loved all the talks but especially Sister Thompson's and President Uchtdorf's.
Sisters, now more than ever, we need women to step up and be strong. We need women who declare the truth with strength, faith, and boldness. We need women to set an example of righteousness. We need women to be “anxiously engaged in a good cause." We need to live so that our lives bear witness that we love our Heavenly Father and the Savior Jesus Christ and that we will do what They have asked us to do. We need to rescue “all that is finest down deep inside of [us]” so that as daughters of God we can do our part to build the kingdom of God. We will have help to do this. As Joseph declared, “If you live up to your privileges, the angels cannot be restrained from being your associates.”

I thought it interesting that President Uchtdorf taught about creating as a way to finding peace, happiness, and joy. It was great!
The more you trust and rely upon the Spirit, the greater your capacity to create. That is your opportunity in this life and your destiny in the life to come. Sisters, trust and rely on the Spirit. As you take the normal opportunities of your daily life and create something of beauty and helpfulness, you improve not only the world around you but also the world within you.
I love that he said some things that we can focus on creating are smiles, families memories, and harmonious homes.
You can go here to get all the wonderful Conference talks.
After the broadcast we were all starving so we took our chauffeur home (we told him he wasn't invited, girls only!) and grabbed a bite to eat at Cafe Rio.
It was such a fun night, just talking and laughing with each other. Thanks again, Camille!
P.S. Justin and Eric took the kids to Cabela's to look at the fish and the animals. Apparently there was some sort of "talking man." Tiana kept pushing a button and this "talking man" would start talking about all the different animals. Molly didn't like it and I think she's mentioned him every single day since. "Mommy, I don't want that man to talk about animals anymore..."
