On March 29, we had the marvelous blessing of being part of a historic event. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints had a General Women's Meeting, for all girls and women ages 8 and up. This is the first time for this General Women's Meeting, and we felt so lucky that Katelee had just turned 8 years old weeks before!
We were so excited to go to this meeting together! We had been talking about it for weeks! Katelee got a new journal in which to take notes, and we prayed that we could have a good experience and feel the spirit. Before the meeting, Katelee and I went out for dinner (Burger King - Kate's choice!) and then we enjoyed the meeting at our stake center via broadcast. It was really amazing, and there was such a strong spirit. Katelee really felt the spirit, and told me so several times. Katelee took pages of notes, and was so proud of herself!
I feel indescribably blessed to be a woman in the LDS Church. It is a privilege beyond compare. I feel a great responsibility and joy to be a small part of helping to raise the next generation of faithful and strong women of this church. We have so much to learn from each other as sisters, regardless of our ages.
If you haven't had the opportunity to watch the General Women's Meeting, I can't recommend it highly enough! You can watch it in its entirety here.
