Our Successful ¨Sister´s Conference¨ Installment Two






















Read the entry below for Installment One of our ¨Sister´s Conference¨
We then boarded a small bus together and rode to the ¨Casa de la Mision¨. On the way, we all took ¨The Color Code Test¨, which was not only a fun game, but it helped us understand ourselves and other people better.


While we were on the bus, we gave each Sister a special, spiral bound book we had put together for the Conference. It contained inspiring quotes and speeches by Church leaders that we thought would help the Sisters with their missionary work.
The book was printed in both Spanish and English. Our Assistants, Elder Kelly and Elder Pollock did a beautiful job of putting together the physical part of the book for us, including the use of pink paper and flowers on the cover. Elder Kelly and Elder Pollock also made sure that each Sister had her name printed in a nice ¨script¨ font on the front of her individual book. I especially liked how the Elders had included on the cover, Sister Margaret Nadauld´s quote about ¨Women of God¨, which I wrote on
the blog several days ago, and they also inlcuded the theme of the conference, ¨Women of God¨, which is ¨Mujeres de Dios¨ in Spanish. There´s a photo of Elder Kelly and Elder Pollock above, to show our ¨thanks¨ for putting together the book.

As a matter of fact, Elder Kelly and Elder Pollock did an excellent job, along with President Benton and our Senior Missionary, Elder Henderson, of serving as our
¨Priesthood Support¨ for the conference. We can´t thank all of these great men enough for all they did for us!
After we arrived at the ¨Casa de la Mision¨, we held ¨opening exercises¨, where we sang a Church hymn and had an opening prayer. Then, President Benton and I
each delivered a speech. After the speech, we all walked out on the patio, where our dear friend and helper, Maria, had set a beautiful table for us, and she served us a
delicious lunch she had made, which included her ¨famous¨ homemade chocolate covered cakes with fresh strawberries on top, for dessert.
