WOMEN's CONFERENCE

How lucky was i when my dear friend Cara called and said that she had a extra ticket to Women's conference. (Thank you Mrs. Hickenlooper) It is exactally what i needed! What an amazing time and experience.

We were under the impression that we were staying in a large two bedroom room with a full kitchen, o.k., Not so much! The dorm room or prison cell was two tight single beds, flat sheet included and a toilet to share with three other rooms! After the upfront shock the whole experience was well worth it and truly we never even spent time in the room other that to shut our eyes.

We got up early on day one: 5:00! a.m. ( i have not been up that early for to long to remember) seriously who does that! But once again well worth it! Cara signed us up to sing in the Women's Choir so we had to be there by 6:30 and practice for the morning session at 9:00. I myself do not sing so well but is was amazing and i learned a lot. I love to sing! especially in the shower or in a room that only my children can hear me, sorry to my neighbors that might catch the occasional tune, but wow, talk about feeling the spirit! This room can hold 23,000 people, it was close to full on a couple of moments. They said that there was at least 15K women, maybe closer to 20K at this conference! Unreal! The Power of the RS~

The streets at BYU were packed and i am not joking when i say you better make use of those 30 minutes to get you to that next class because it was like sardines in those halls! What fun we had! hussling our gutts from one place to the next. It was beautiful and so peaceful! It was fun running into a few friendly faces too!

The Humanitarian projects were nuts! Talk about some service hours, what a great way to spend the first evening, followed by an amazing concert filled with amazingly talented people! Hilary Weeks, The Fabulous Five tap dancers, Mercy River, Alex Boye, Michael Mclean, and one more gentlemen i forget his name but what a powerful voice and quite a sacrife to be there. His wife gave birth to their son while he was there and he missed it! Tear Jerker! THANKS CARA FOR THINKING OF ME!
