Two mondays in a row Sisters conferences at the mission home were fun and filled with learning and spiritual. Sister Arnett shared a beautiful quote by High Nibley to start a discussion and share some thought with the sisters.

"Our own sins and limitations are the things that make us sad. He had no sins and limitations. He was not sad for his sake, but wholly for ours. Only one could suffer for others who did not deserve to suffer for himself. If we remain gloomy after what he did for us it is because we do ot accept what he did for us. If we suffer, we deserve to suffer because there is not need for it if we only believe in him."

Sis. Arnett is so sweet and all the sisters love her. She has been a good exchange leader and the sisters feel comfortable talking with her.

I printed up a poem that I altered alittle and set acopy by each plate. It really does describe our sisters;

MISSIONARY WOMEN

Missionary women
Like jewels, gems, and rubies
Rare, Distinguished and Unique
Virtuous, Full of spirit women
Kind loving and Sweet.

Powerful Serving Women
Committed, Faithful and True
Praying, Praising, Fasting Women
Full of Faith, hope and Charity too

Obedient Wise Women
Who know the Voice of the Lord
Quiet Teachable Women
Who are united in one accord

Submissive, Honorable, Reverent Women
Who teach Gospel truths each day
Sensitive, Spirit-led Women
Who follow in God's Righteous Way

A Virtuous Women who can find?
Where does this queen reside?
Our missionary women in DC South
