Sister K, The Sister Missionary

Autumn got herself dressed this morning and she said to me, “Mom, I look like a sister missionary.” I couldn’t agree more! I kept calling her “Sister K” all morning. I would LOVE it if she decided to serve a mission when she's older. It's one of the best things I ever did!!!

I gave a talk in sacrament meeting today on virtue & purity. Nate & Riannon even came to hear me speak. I actually gave a “cry” instead of a talk. I ALWAYS cry, and I definitely cried at the end of my talk when I shared a story about a neat experience that Dad had in the Johannesburg temple.

After church we hurried home for my YW Presidency meeting. One of the ladies brought her daughter that is Autumn’s age with her. The girls played outside & went exploring while we had our meeting. After the meeting was over, Autumn was SO EXCITED to show me some baby birds they found in a nest. I have no idea how they found it b/c it’s hidden in a neighbor’s gumdrop tree that’s about 5 houses down the street! The baby birds are so cute!!!

I know this isn’t the best picture (Autumn’s face … LOL), but it’s the only one we got. We went back to the church at 7:00 for the Stake Young Womanhood Recognition. All the Young Women & leaders that have completed Personal Progress, or got their Honor Bee were recognized tonight. It’s a huge deal, b/c this is equivalent to the Scouts getting their Eagles. It’s A LOT of work. The Stake YW President gave a FABULOUS talk, and the whole evening was very uplifting. I am so thankful Autumn has wonderful examples like these girls to look up to.
