General Young Women's Broadcast 2013

Yesterday, as many of you know, was the General Young Women's Broadcast. Our stake was able to get tickets to the Conference Center and I went with my mom, two sisters, and my cute cousin and aunt. I love the feeling of being in the Conference Center. Especially when our beloved Prophet, Thomas S. Monson, walks in. You can't help but smile as you feel the Holy Ghost testify to you, that he is a true Prophet of God.

I loved every single second of the Broadcast. I had my notebook and pen and wrote down every little thing I could. I'm so thankful they have the Young Women's Broadcast. Each year it helps to inspire me, and I'm sure a million other girls, to become the daughters of God we're meant to be.

If you asked me who my favorite speaker was, there is no way I could choose. They were all amazing and I took something from each of them.

I loved how Sister Dibb talked about creating Holy places for ourselves. They don't have to be physical places, but can be moments in our lives. We can create and stand in Holy places even in the most difficult of times.

I loved how Sister Cook said: "When you save a girl, you save generations." I guess I've never thought of that before. The choices that we make today will effect not only those around us now, but those we don't know who will live after us.

Sister Dalton. Oh how much I love her. I love her smile, her voice, and the spirit she brings into the room when she speaks. She is such an inspiration to me. Every time she speaks I walk away a better person. I love how she shows her confidence and love for each and every single Young Women. She said: "One righteous Young Woman can change the world." How powerful that is to me. To think that I, and everyone around me, can change the world.

And President Uchtdorf. He is just amazing as well. I loved how he thought of our lives as a Journey. Through his talk he shared "how to have a successful journey". I soaked up everything he said and loved it!

I really am SO thankful to be a part of this gospel. I'm thankful that the Church has such strong programs for its youth. Without young women's and personal progress and the for strength of youth, I don't know who I'd be today. Over the years, these things have helped to shape and mold me into who I've become today and who I will become. It's so sad to think that this August I'll no longer be part of the Young Woman's program any more. However, I am very thankful for all that it has taught me and for the relationships I have made not only with my leaders and fellow class mates, but with my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ as well.

I'm SO excited for General Conference next weekend and cannot wait to hear what each of the inspired teachers have to say.

Thanks for visiting. And I hope you're having an amazing Easter Sunday filled with Love and Laughter.
