best of the day

March 8 - What a great night at Relief Society.  It was relaxed and uplifting to hear the sisters recall quotes and stories from "Daughters in my Kingdom."  Renee Cawvey told of moving to Missouri when she was 8.  At the time, there was not a ward in the area.  She and her family were part of the long process, building a ward that today has 200 active members.  She remembered meetings in various buildings through the years, especially one that was so cold that the sacrament water had frozen.  Inspiring.  Rhonda Lincicum recalled the tornado that destroyed her home and property.  They had to haul her porch away so she could get out of her front door.  Her experience taught her the value of priesthood and relief society working together, complimenting eachother.  
It really was a nice evening thanks to a book and sisters that have relief society in common.

I have been remiss in reading all of the book. I will bring it with me to Missouri to finish it. You have inspired me.
