Last night at Relief Society......

We had a great time!!! Everyone talking, laughing, sharing and also making their Proclamation's! It was really fun to walk around and see everyone's pictures. So fun to see their families younger, or their children as babies instead of teenagers or Wedding photos from years ago - really fun, and have you ever known a mother not to be thrilled to show pictures and talk about their families - I don't think so!

We had a sister making one with children, grandchildren and great grandchildren....isn't that amazing! And we had a young woman who made one of pictures with her and her boyfriend for the future they hope to have together! We had sisters with large families and small families. We had pictures of families outside of temples from when their adopted children were sealed to them. It really was an incredible night of memories and sharing.

We are all women at different stages of our life in so many different circumstances! But what unites us and makes us sisters is our love of the Gospel, our Savior, and that we know who we are - daughters of a Heavenly Father - just doing the best we can to get back to our Heavenly Home!

Most women were able to go home with their project all finished. Some ladies, didn't have enough of, or the kind of pictures they wanted to finish it off....but they went home with only needing 1 or two photos to finish and I feel confident that they will because they just looked so great!

Aren't families of all types wonderful.....especially my sisters in the Gospel!

AMEN AND AMEN. My most recent calling (before our move to England) was 1st counselor in RS and it was heaven to be with my sisters so often and to be thinking of them everyday. What a great activity!
