This is my 2nd TOFW. While I love the chance to escape and listen to uplifting speakers, I felt horrible leaving Matt alone to do our crazy baseball life. Matt had to do 3 baseball games with all the kids (1 Friday night and 2 on Saturday). As soon as I got home from TOFW on Saturday around 5pm, I rushed over to the baseball fields to relieve him of the extra kids during the last baseball game of the day.
Friday afternoon, we hit some shopping and dinner before heading into TOFW. It was fun to shop with someone (Kari) who has a sense of fashion, which I desperately lack!
This picture makes me laugh because I obviously need to work on my knee pop and standing up straight.
Friday night with Kara
David Archuleta--love his voice
Sisters-in-law with our friend C'Anne.
(Ariane was there but sitting with friends from her ward.)
Saturday
There were so many great talks. Some of my take-aways:
Tim Ballard (helps save children from human trafficking)
When darkness comes knocking, I will be ready.
Covenant makers are miracle chasers.
Calee Reed (Saturday's singer)
There are things to learn as you wander, lessons to learn while you wait
Peace isn't the absence of conflict, but the presence of God
Sometimes trials are His mercy in disguise
Alissa Parker (daughter died in Sandy Hook Elem. shooting)
Let it go and rise above it
Choose to let the light in
(I ugly cried in this one as she talked about all the miracles and presence of her daughter to comfort those that were grieving for her loss.)
