Women's Retreat

SEPTEMBER 19,2010

Lisa Pannell and I put together a Women's Retreat for all the ladies of the ward. We were able to get a wonderful gal Stephanie Hillman who is under contract with Desert Book and also a good Friend of Tara Colburn. Tara gave us her name and told us a little about her and was able to contact her and she was more then glad to come and do a little fireside on The Living Christ though music. She as FABULOUS! She has a wonderful voice! So very glad that we got to meet her and have here with us in this beautiful part of the country. We had an all day event starting with a brunch that the Bishop rick cooked up for us, followed by some very great conversation with the sisters. We then had a light snack about 1:00 followed by the ladies taking turns on a zip line that President and sister Lamb have right in their back yard! (by the way their yard is wonderful) Then we did a little craft and the High priests were there to cook us dinner! This was followed with our fireside and then homemade ice cream and brownies.

I was so happy with the way that the day turned out. The spirit was with us all day and it was just a wonderful day to connect with all the sisters.
