By Small and Simple Things....

By Small and Simple things are Great things Brought to Pass...

This was the theme for this year's Women's Conference at BYU.  Elder David Bednar spoke to all of us at Friday afternoon closing session and gave a great analogy of how we can do this.  He used drip irrigation as the example.  When one uses this in their garden's it makes the root of the plant stronger as tiny drips of water soak the root of the plant and makes the plant strong. When we read the scriptures every day and pray every day we make our roots stronger, as well.  Add church attendance and attending the temple along with giving service, our root system is strengthened even more.  How blessed are we to have the priesthood on the earth?  To have Christ's apostles share with us what we need to do to make our lives more aligned with our Heavenly Father.

There were many talks that were so motivational and inspired me to be a better daughter of God.

One of the fun parts of being at Women's Conference was seeing friends and family...

Jeanie and her cousin, Annette who is from California.  They found each other at the Wilkinson Building.

Crystal Krogue and her Mom and sisters...they do this every year!

I hope that one day I can do this with my four girls!
