This afternoon Brad and I got to take the kids to the church for a baptism for a young boy in our ward. They were both so excited to see him be baptized the way Jesus was and to see him receive the gift of the holy ghost. I loved seeing their excitement for this little boy and the excitement they had to know that when they turn 8 years old, they will be able to be baptized as well.
They, of course, loved the refreshments as well!
Tonight I was able to go to the General Women's Meeting broadcast at my church building. Before hand we had an ice cream social and it was so fun to visit with friends as we awaited the broadcast.
The broadcast was amazing! It was such an uplifiting and spiritual experience for me. I loved being able to share in that spiritual night with all woman ages 8 years and older. Because, as we learned, we all need each other! "As individuals we are strong. Together, with God, we are unstoppable!" -Sister Wixom
I was pretty emotional the entire time because the spirit was so strong. I was grateful to be there with good friends, but I dearly missed many of the amazing women I know in my life; my mom, my sweet daughter Tenley (I can't wait until she is old enough to go that meeting with me), my mother-in-law (I thought of her frequently throughout that meeting. She loved the sisterhood of Relief Society and she received so much joy from being a woman and sharing her love and compassion with others.), my sister, and my sister-in laws. I'm grateful to have close relationships with all of those women. They have all been such great examples to me in my life. I love being apart of this amazing sisterhood in the gospel.
I loved this video that was shown:
It's the tender moments that make your life as a daughter of God such a unique and special gift.
