Special Visitor Announcement!

Left to Right: Sister Stephens, Sister Burton, Sister Reeves

Ladies! We have exciting news about our very first rehearsal. We are going to have the opportunity to be sitting in the same chapel as the General Relief Society Presidency. :) I don't know about you but this makes me smile from ear to ear.

Sister Linda Burton is our current presiding President and if you don't love her already, I can assure you it is just a matter of time. She is truly an example of Faith and trust in our Heavenly Father. I love that you can feel the love and compassion that she has for each one of us and that she puts her all into her calling and she is always looking to serve those around her. We are truly blessed to have such a valiant woman in this calling.

Sister Carole Stephens is currently serving as the First Counselor to Sister Burton in the presidency. One of my most favorite things about Sister Stephens is her consistent declaration of her love of the scriptures. And you know what? She is so right! There is much to be learned in the pages of those sacred and special books. We can gain strength within ourselves and our testimonies can continue to be built upon a solid foundation if we just heed her words and turn those pages often.

Sister Linda Reeves is currently serving as the Second Counselor to Sister Burton in the presidency. As a Mom myself I am in awe at Sister Reeves and the parent that she is. She has 13 children! That alone is proof that this woman is strong and resilient. What better example to have serving us as women of the church than someone who has worn every possible cap as she has raised her family.

We live in a day of age that we are faced with many facets of the Adversity and the negativity in which he wants us to fall into. Luckily for us, however, we have an incredibly loving Heavenly Father who is very mindful of such things and so he places women like these in our lives. Now we may not have day to day contact with these women but there is no doubt in my mind that they are always serving in their callings with us in mind.

Let's remember to say a prayer thanking our Heavenly Father for giving us these special ladies in our lives and let's not forget to pray for them as well. They do an amazing job and I can't help but think that our prayers can only help strengthen them a little. We are so excited that they will be joining us for our first rehearsal and hope that collectively we can make them feel welcome!

See you Sunday!
