Sister Oscarson and sister Bingham

We have the visit of two very special women for the next ten days. Sister Oscarson who is the young women General President and sister Bingham who is the First Counselor in the Primary. Today is Tuesday and like every Tuesday we hold a devotional for the area office, and later on we went shopping to Greehills, had lunch and went to meet with a group of sisters with a question and answer type of forum. 

From my notes:

Some of the questions were related to discipline, receiving personal revelation, depression, career paths, etc. One advice I wrote down was " Never bring a problem to your superior without having a solution. “  

Another one was:  Remember that we are on the Lord's side. When you have to make a decision, study it in your mind and in your heart. Go in prayer and wait for inspiration. You need to figure out how you receive revelation because it's not the same for everyone. Some have a peaceful feeling while others feel a warm feeling in their heart.

“Listen and learn primary songs. They teach simple basics. The gospel is not sophisticated.” Sister Bingham.

Sister Oscarson asked: What would have been like to live in heaven with our Heavenly Parents? Let's think of how that must have been and try to emulate their example. There is an element of refinement when we think of ourselves as children of God.

Divine nature. What are some ways we can increase our spirituality? 

#1 is in our homes. Let's make our homes a true refuge from the world. 

#2 is keeping the Sabbath. Let's take the sacrament each Sunday and understand the principle of repentance. The only ordinance we get to do over and over again. 

#3 The temple. The only place where we get refinement and where the spirt teaches us those things we need to know. Come to the temple to get refined! 

Their husbands also spoke before them. It was so neat to get to know this sisters a little better and to have been helpful when buying pearls. I got a discount for them each time!

Con amor,
