Relief Society Retreat!

Our ward Relief Society hosted a retreat this past Friday night to Saturday afternoon at Camp Zion. It was, for me, a much needed getaway to recharge and escape to cooler weather.
It was wonderful to be surrounded by such wonderful women:

It was nice to be out among the trees and away from all responsibilities:

It was nice to be with good friends (me and my buddy Joanne!):

It felt good to laugh out loud at these crazy women and the fun skits they performed:



Friday evening we were treated to a talk by our stake Relief Society President. It was amazing! She talked about how each and every one of us has gifts and talents and the importance of recognizing them within ourselves. I was able to get A LOT of scrapbooking projects complete later that night - so fun to work while chatting with terrific ladies.
On Saturday I got to go rappelling (only my second time doing that, so fun!) and just enjoyed walking around the camp, participating in the different conversations with the ladies, reading my scriptures, working on some projects for the young women, etc...A wonderfully relaxing weekend!
