Relief Society General Broadcast

I realize I've already posted about 100 new posts today...but you get one more anyway. :)

Tonight, I was able to go with a group of girls from my ward to SLC for the RS General broadcast. I have to say, I was not in the best mood when the meeting started. I was tired of women who thought that getting a good seat was important enough to forget kindness. It seemed like there were so many ladies who decided that waiting in line was not for them, or that waiting for the ushers to guide them to a seat, (which we had been asked to do), was not what they were supposed to do. I mentioned my frustration to a friend and she commented that a lot of LDS women are the take-charge-get-it-done kind of people. What a positive thing! It really helped change my perspective when I thought about what great leaders LDS women are...it took a little longer to get over it, though. :)

The meeting was great. I appreciated the comments about offering relief and look forward to exploring more what that means in my own life. I also really enjoyed President Monson's story about the man who walked into a bookstore looking for a book called, "Man: The Ruler of Women," and was directed to the Fiction section. I really appreciate when the leaders of my faith are candid and let their personalities show through. The choir consisted of women from the South Jordan, UT area. Knowing that my aunt lives there, (and that she's a singer), I scanned the choir. I was surprised to find she was one of the first people I saw! I didn't know she was going to be there--but what a fun thing to see her singing in the choir.

After the meeting, all 12 of us went to Denny's in SLC. And, just as with all other Denny's across America, our food was super slow. But, we had a great time chatting with each other there, as well as in the car on the way there and home. I'm now convinced that we need a girls' night at least once a month!
