My dear friend Hilary and I went down to Women's Conference at BYU for the last day of the conference! It was wonderful as usual and such a lift! Sister Beck spoke in the morning session and was so wonderful! She talked about the history of Relief Society and knowing WHO we are-- She said, "Until you really know who you are and where you come from, you cannot be as powerful as you can be" She also said she has a friend who has the plaque in her home that reads: I CAN DO HARD THINGS -- she changed it a bit and it now says: I DO HARD THINGS! :) So true so true! I think that is such a valuable lesson in life to know that indeed we not only CAN do hard things, we DO hard things and we can become stronger and better by doing them!
Elder and Sister Bednar also spoke and had so many wonderful things to say-- I took a million notes and if time permitted I would love to add them all -- but more than anything -0- it was just so great to be with a great sister/friend and be lifted up and rejuvenated! As I looked out among those thousands of sisters and thought of the strength and power of the sisterhood we hold -- I was really moved and grateful! grateful to be a Daughter of God and know who I am, grateful to have dear friends and family who help me, support me and love me, grateful for the chance that I have to serve and love them, and grateful to be a member of a wonderful organization in the church-- The Relief Society!
