Saturday with Sis. Beck

Sis. Beck (the general relief society president) came to Colorado Springs yesterday and we had the privilege of being with her today. She is an awesome lady. She gave some great advice at leadership training and a good talk at a fireside tonight. Nikki and I sat together at the fireside. I was supposed to sit on the stand with Dad but sat with Nik. Dad's used to sitting on the stand without me. We had lunch and supper with the Becks and other Stake Presidents. Her husband is a banker and quite hilarious. He said his calling is to support her. He was released as a Bishop.

She taught that we as women can take care of ourselves and that we need to protect our homes..even fight for the sanctity of our homes. She said there is no one that can balance all that we have in our lives we just do what we can as well as we can. We as women need to rely on the Holy Ghost and personal revelation to help us gain faith to do what we need to do and to find the answers we may be seeking. It was an uplifting day.
