Friday and Saturday we all attended the "Time Out for Women" in Anchorage. We enjoyed the programs. We were entertained yet fed by the spirit. We laughed, we cried...good stuff.
On Friday night, we heard from Sheri Dew, and Wendy Watson Nelson; who married Elder Russell M. Nelson in 2006. They are best friends and their presentation together was most entertaining. We were also favored to hear songs from Hilary Weeks, who grew up in Alaska. She is a talented music writer and singer. Her sense of humor, and her insight to everyday life experiences was enjoyable.
On Saturday, we traveled back to Anchorage for a full day. We heard from Emily Watts and Merrilee Boyack, who both have several books out. They were both wonderful speakers, full of the spirit and yet had us laughing as well. We also heard from Ardeth Kapp, Chris Stewart, and Michael Wilcox. They all shared wonderful experiences and life lessons. Of course, it was presented by Deseret Book, so there was a place were all their books and CD were available for purchase. We all succumbed, we left with a bag full of wonderful reading.
All in all, I felt we were spiritually fed and uplifted. It was nice to get away from the hum-drum of the world and sit, relax and enjoy being spiritually fed. Good times!
