i glanced around the enormous conference center and immediately couldn't pull myself together. thousands and thousands of incredibly beautiful young women every square inch of temple square. i can't describe the spirit i felt.
i felt so lucky to be in the conference center and listen to the talks. i felt lucky to sit and listen to my beautiful young women sing in the choir. i felt blessed to be their leader. and inadequate to help them find out who they are, and who Heavenly Father wants them to be. this gospel is inspired, i know it. i feel like the luckiest person to have been born into it. i never had to live a single day without knowing He is here with me.
we took the girls out for ice-cream after and i felt cozy sitting in there with them, talking about their lives (boys) and past stories. i wouldn't have wanted to spend my saturday night any different.
my favorite quote of the night was from pres. eyering:
"you are women of hope and our bright future, i am just simply here to remind you of that."
