Family Discovery Day

I was on the Family Discovery Day committee this year.  I was surprised at how much fun it was.  We had such a great turnout and the decorations were awesome.  Our theme was Learn it, Live it, Love it.  We decorated like Old London. It really got me excited to do some kind of family history work. We had all kinds of displays and classes that talked about different ways to do family history.

We had this guy dress up like an ancestor and talk about a story that happened to the ancestor he dressed up as.

We had great food and help that made it so we didn't even have to worry about the food.

I worked at one of the registration tables

Carol was our chairman.  She always does so great.

Different displays

I had people write stories and testimonies down that they had received from doing family history.

Time Out For Women

On April 19th and 20th my mother in law invited me to go to Time Out for Women in Spokane.  I had such a great time.  It was so much fun.  They told us they were coming back next year, and I would love to be able to go again with my mom and sisters.  We got there Friday afternoon and had fun taking pictures at the photo booth.  They had a Time out for Girls that Katelyn and Brookel were able to go to.

Friday Night I got to hear from Michael McLean.  We got a sneak peak of his new musical Threads.  I was so neat.  I enjoyed hearing him share his music.  I even got to go down and meet him.  It was a lot of fun.  I also got to hear Heidi Swinton speak.  She wrote President Monson's biography.  She got a call from Pres Monson while she was in London England where her husband was the mission president.  When she said that, I looked at her Bio and it said she was in the England London South Mission.  I texted Darin really quick to ask who his mission president was, and lo and behold it was the Swintons.  So after she was done speaking, I ran down to talk to her, and tell her who my brother was.  She was so excited to meet me and hear how Darin was doing.  I took a picture with her, so I could send it to Darin with a message from her.  It was fun to show Darin.

Saturday was a whole day of talks from really great people.  I enjoyed every minute of it.  I was on such an emotional high and have been ever since.  I enjoyed the things that were said and the things that I learned.  My testimony was really strengthened.  I definitely want to go next year.
