Time Out For Women

In October my friend April organized and planned a girl's weekend

There were 7 of us and we were going to go to Visalia for Time Out For Women

Which is an awesome conference organized by Deseret Book

Just a couple weeks before, April and 3 of the other girls had unexpected events come up and weren't going to be able to make it.

We changed our plans around a little and I was going to drive now.

I was planning to pick my friends Melissa and Brooke up at 10:30, well I got in my car and it was dead! I called my sister Ashley to come and jump me-but it didn't work-something else was wrong with the car!

I called Melissa and she said she could drive.

I was sick the night before and I was just thinking, "I am not suppose to go on this trip!"

I went back down to my car to get my bags out of the trunk and...It wouldn't open!! (Not even with the key) 

We tried everything! We made the alarm go off, got our hands greasy, everything!

At this point I was pretty sure I was NOT meant to go on this trip!!

{I had tried calling Kyle for an hour and he didn't feel his phone vibrate-he was in class. Yes, he had 16 missed calls}

Long story short, my awesome neighbor Bentley came over and he helped us jump it long enough to get the trunk open.

Finally, 1 1/2 hours later we were on our way!

There were two speakers on Friday night and a days worth on Saturday.

John Bytheway was the first speaker and while listening to him, it came into my mind that I was suppose to come to this conference, but there was someone else who didn't want me to.

I am so grateful I went!! I was so spiritually uplifted and it's just what I needed.

They travel all over so if they are having a conference near you-GO!! You will not regret it.

 The gospel is amazing, and I am so grateful that I am blessed with it.

The weekend was full of laughter, new friends and tears. It was perfect!!
