A Night of Enlightenment

Well last night I had a great night of spiritual enrichment. We met at my house and talked about three important topics.
Camile talked about the importance of Patriarchal Blessing's, and how they are our personal compass to the world. I thought that she just did a great job. She touched all the right spots.
Then Cheryl talked about the importance of keeping a personal journal, and she did a great job also. She mentioned how she writes in her journal every night and how if heaven forbid anything ever happened to her her small children would have those to read and get to know who there mom was. She also said how she feels that our journal's need to reflect our true selves not how the world views us but how we truly are. That was an excellent point. I notice as I try to write in my journal's I find myself thinking of ok now if some one reads this I better write it this way instead of just wrighting my true feeling's.
Mandy also did a fabulous job. She talked about journaling my scrapbook's and how she kept a detailed journal of her pregnancy and just treasures it and always will. This is such a great way to journal, I think that my kids will love to show their kids their childhood scrapbooks and their kids will absolutely love them. I always love to try to look back and see were and what my mom and dad did as kid's.
Then I had Kim talk about Scripture Study and she was great she bore her testimony on the Book of Mormon and how she loved to share her testimony with people when she served her mission, my sister also told about her mission, and how we can use lots of different ways to teach our children the scripture's. One of my favorite ways is to just let them watch the Living Scripture's DVD's, my boys just love those.
All in all I thought that is was a great night and I am so glad that the Sister's who came did come they all added a unique spirit to the night. The spirit was strong, and it just reaffirmed that I had chose the right people to talk about the different subject's that night.
So thank you to all of you sister's who added to and came to this night. I am sorry for those who missed out and couldn't make it. Hopefully we will do something like that again soon and everyone can attend.
