What a Weekend...

 This last weekend was an amazing one, one to never forget.  It started on Friday night by heading up to Logan for Time Out for Women.  This year along with my mom, Cecelia, and Maddie my aunt Nancy and Tammy joined us. (we missed you Carlin.) On Friday the speakers were Heidi Swinton and Laurel C. Day.  The music performers were Justin Cash & Calee Reed.  I could listen to Calee all day.  My aunt Nancy is going to try to get her for our Womens Conference this year.  I hope she will be able to come, because that would be amazing!  Saturday the speakers were Noelle Pikus-Pace, Whitney Johnson, John Hilton III, Wendy Ulrich, and Kris Belcher and the music performers were Mercy River. 
What an incredible experience to watch Noelle's final run in the skeleton where she took silver medal in the Sochi 2014 Olympics.  It was very powerful and spiritual.  Aside from Noelle, I could listen to Kris Belcher speak all day.  She is so funny and entertaining to listen to.  She keeps my attention with her positive out look in life.  I'm already looking forward to next year, this is an excellent tradition!







 Once coming home we got ready for the Shine the Light Celebration for the Ogden Temple.  The performers were youth from around the Ogden Temple District area.  We have put long hours in practicing for the event.  With all the stress and worry it turned out excellent.  Our stake did a Mexican dance and sang and signed songs.  It was amazing!  This is a picture of a few of our YW.
 The closing song it what really got to me.  It was a very touching moment.  I'm so proud of our youth for their participation.  And I may be happy that it's done so we can get back to our regular activities.
 Sunday was the dedication of the Ogden Temple.  What a beautiful place.  So glad Nic and I were able to go.  This is so important to us.  We love the temple and are excited to do a session again in the Ogden Temple!
