General Young Woman Meeting in the Conference Center

Last Saturday, my oldest daughter and I were able to experience one of the perks of living in Utah. Our stake was invited to attend the General Young Woman Meeting in the Conference Center this year. How cool that the stake we are living in was invited this year--our first year here! We were excited to go and it more than lived up to our expectations. It was so amazing to be inside the conference center--we've participated in so many meetings that have taken place there by TV or by satellite to our stake center in Arizona. To be there in person was incredible. All 20,000 seats were filled with young women, their mothers, and their YW leaders. All three members of the First Presidency attended. It was so cool when President Monson walked in--everyone stood and it became perfectly silent in an instant. The choir was amazing. The feeling there was overwhelming. I already knew that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love us. But the spirit there testified again of how much Heavenly Father loves His children. It testified again of how much Jesus Christ loves us and that He is our Savior. And the leaders that He has chosen to guide His church and us at this time--they love us too. It was a great experience and I hope we get to go again before too many years go by.
