Time Out For Women

I had such a wonderful day at the Time Out For Women conference last Saturday. This is such an awesome event. I can't imagine all the work the team puts out to make these events happen, but it results in such an uplifting day. We were treated to Hilary Weeks, who sang to us and shared her testimony. Virgina Pearce, President Hinckley's daughter, spoke to us, along with Michael Wilcox, who totally reminded me of a mormon Steve Martin. Chris Stewart spoke tenderly with us, who wrote that amazing book "The Great and the Terrible".

Some of the great messages:
  • "God is watching. Give him a good show." Amanda Dickson

  • "We can't see the stars until we're in the dark" Chris Stewart-we can't see the good stuff in our trials until we are in the dark(trial)

  • "Toddlers-suicidal elves" Amanda Dickson-she just had so many funny things to say!

Okay, so Amanda Dickson was the funniest speaker ever. When she laughed, her mouth would open wide, letting out this huge, hearty laugh. We couldn't help but laugh with her. She was so real and positive. It was so great to hear her. She is a talk show host on KSL.com in Utah. Time Out is so worth going to!!
