Last Night I attended a Feast... our church had it's annual Relief Society Broadcast. Click Here if you want to watch it online. If you are LDS and missed it last night, make sure to take some time to watch it online. Reading it in the Ensign will never have the same effect. (I took 8 pages of notes....scribbling furiously in the dark... looking at them today, I can't even decifer half of them... good thing I can reprint the talks online!) 
Sister Julie Beck gave a talk that I'm thinking she wrote just for me... okay, probably not... but it seemed that way. I'm not sure what it is, but I LOVE her talks. I always feel like I can totally connect with her.... I just get where she's coming from and I'm always inspired to do better. Sister Allred and Sister Thompson gave very inspirational messages. President Uchtdorf hit it out of the ballpark with his talk. I loved the story about him making Fried Eggs.... hilarious!
What a great man... here's two quotes I want to remember....

This last week has been a real adventure for me. I've had to make lots of time for prayer and meditation. Last night's broadcast had special meaning for me as I was made our ward's newest RS President this morning. On one hand, I'm excited to get to know the sisters in our ward on a more personal level... on the other hand, I'm terrified about some of the new "responsibilities" I will have. (And you don't want to see my new meeting schedule!!!)
I came home after being at the church for 5 hours today (3 hour block, plus meetings) and spent the rest of my day getting Taylor and Eric ready to go on a Young Men's Super Activity. And all this weekend, I've been fighting a monster of a head cold... today, I'm so congested that I can't even get my ears to pop... but one sudafed and two extra strength tylenol later, I'm feeling almost normal. I just need to get the middle two down for the night so I can crash and maybe sleep some of this misery off!
Say a prayer or two for us this week, if you don't mind. :) I've already gotten "phone calls" about my new RS duties and I'm going to be anxious about our guys having a safe trip this week!
