General Relief Society Meeting...

Every year a General LDS Relief Society Meeting is broadcast by the Church to sisters worldwide. I always look forward to the Broadcast and greatly enjoy the words from our Prophet, Apostles, and LDS Relief Society leaders.

This year our area met before the meeting to put together Hygiene Kits for the church's Humanitarian Services.

Then they served dinner...

I have heard some ladies say they don't enjoy going to this meeting because it makes them feel guilty about what they are not getting done or falling short of... for me, I feel like it springboards me into being a better Wife, Mother, Sister, daughter and Friend!
