Women's Conference Recap

For those who didn't make it to the women's conference, I highly recommend you to attend next year even if it's just a part of it. The scale of women's conference totally blew me away. I enjoyed every aspect of the meeting.

Fun run: I didn't go, but I am sure it's good to do some running with sisters.

Service Project: Original project to donate 10 quilts. It turned out to be 60 quilts. Sisters also donated an abundance of school supplies.

Food: Excellent food that kept coming. They provided dinner, breakfast and brunch. Yum.

Entertainment: the variety show was funny. There were singing, dancing, piano playing. the funiest of all prabably was the facial exercise and the single's ward (I Need A Man). Of course, the Polynesian sisters shined with dancing.

Devotionals: Brother Christian talked about how big is the universe and why God who is the creator can perform miracles. Sister Dance talked about her family and how she benefits from a loving family.

Classes: this is probably the best part of the conference besides the dinner and the show. I went to Brother Huntington's class. He talked about why we should face our fears as a new challenge and live up to our dreams.

Then I stayed for a budgeting class. The teacher, Brother Ellsworth talked about how all the millionaries have somethings in common: budgeting, saving, and living modestly. Then I went to a class on how to feed a family on a budget. I learned to use a shopping list when shopping, to shop less often, and to use canning and buying in bulk.

The next day, I went to a modesty class. Sister Breshears (the other Breshears)shared her strategies on how to make the clothing modest by doing a little bit of editing. She also said we need not to be fashionable. Shopping should not be our main passion.

The last class I went was about depression. Brother Grasser pointed out the causes of the depression (generic, drugs, alcohol, abuse) and the main symptoms (sleep disorder, isolation, mood swing). As I talked this subject with my son, he said it has a lot to do with personal choice. I think he's right.

The last class I went to was about organization and cleaning. After the class, I was determined to get rid my clutter, and have my kids clean up the house on Saturdays and clean up right away. There are tons of classes I wanted to attend but I couldn't.
