We were asked about three months ago to come to a leadership training on November 23. All the Young Women, Primary, and Relief Society leaders were to come at 6:30 pm.
When Comfort, Baaba, and I walked over together, hundreds of parents and children were just coming out of a children's devotional that ended at 6:30. So we sat for half an hour waiting for the meeting to start.
The Area Presidency and their wives and the women from the Primary and Young Women and their husbands came about 7 pm from the Area Office where they had refreshed themselves from the previous meeting. I guess that had been the intention all along. Interesting.
I got pictures before the meeting started - don't think I am unaware that you don't take pictures of meetings in the chapel.
Sister Morrison was hidden by the pulpit |
So.....the ladies spoke and each started out really well and strong with very good points. But....it was dark, many had been at the Chapel for hours, and the ladies kept talking....and talking.
Elder Morrison got up at 8 pm and introduced a picture of Moses with the men holding up his arms. Elder Morrison said we needed to be like these men and hold up and aid those who need our watchful care and support. Amen.
Ok, I can remember all of his speech and it was motivating. We sang a song, had a prayer and went home.
