Yesterday I had a really neat opportunity! At church I am currently the first counselor in the Young Women presidency, which means I get to work with the 12-18 year old girls in our ward. It has been a lot of fun so far, but I still have a lot to learn. Yesterday Sister Elaine S. Dalton, the General Young Women President for the entire LDS Church, was in St. Louis to offer some training for Young Women presidencies in the area. I got to go to St. Louis with our ward Young Women president, and we had a great time. I even got to shake Sister Dalton's hand! She shared some neat experiences and advice with us. Later in the evening she had a special meeting where she spoke to all of the young women from the area. (Only six of our girls were able to make it, but they sure had a great time.) She talked about making good choices in our lives and reminded us that Heavenly Father knows each of us personally. It was a wonderful talk and a wonderful day! Sister Dalton recently spoke in General Conference. You can read or listen to her talk by clicking here. She is a really neat lady, and I'm grateful for the opportunity I had to listen to her words yesterday. Also at the meeting yesterday, I ran into my fun friends the Stowells from Charleston! They were my family away from home while I was at graduate school, and it was wonderful to see them again.In other news, the Cardinals lost the other night, but then they won a game, so now they just have to win one more game to go to the World Series! We'll be cheering for them tonight!

Yes, it was so good to see you yesterday! I'm so glad we took the time to attend. I loved both meetings. It was well worth the drive (not to mention the horrible traffic on the way down) to be there.
...Go Cards!!
How funny---I was going to be there but am sick. Would have been fun to run into you there! Glad you enjoyed the meeting.
