What a wonderful weekend!  I was speaking on the life of Esther, and these women were wonderful.  They had told me the conference center was near Wright-Pat Airforce Base, but I was thinking it would be across the street or something.  Nope, it&#8217;s inside the base.  That would be the first time I&#8217;ve ever needed to ask directions to a women&#8217;s event from a man in uniform with a beret and a gun.  <\/p>\n<p>My mom and I were there together, and just had a blast getting to know all the women.  I especially enjoyed meeting a missionary from Spain and hearing her story.  It&#8217;s always such a treat for me to finally get to meet and spend time with the people at a retreat &#8211; we spend months corresponding and talking by phone as we plan, and when we finally get to meet them, it&#8217;s such a pleasure.  Thanks so much!  I hope I get to be with you all again soon.  \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This weekend I was the speaker for the East Central District Women&#8217;s Retreat &#8211; it was women from all of the churches in the East Central District of the Missionary Church.
