I had an amazing opportunity to be a counselor for Time To Blossom which is a young womens conference for girls 11 - 16. Girls from all over Arizona attended and it was so neat to see these girls blossom in just a week! The every day itinerary for the week = 6:30 am counselor meeting, 7:00am devotional with our girls, 8:30 bus to evit, 9:30 first speaker, 11:00 second speaker, 12:30 service, 2:00 lunch, 3:00 third speaker, 4:30 fourth speaker, 6:00 dinner, 7:30 dance party, 9:00 bus back to hyatt, 9:45 night devotional, 11:00 lights out. To say we were all exhausted would be an understatement! ;) but it was the best getting to know each girl on such a private and personal level and to hear of their insecurities, needs and desires from day one and then to see them completely transform by the end of the week.. These girls are such motivated girls to always do what is right and it was so inspiring to me! Never did I have to ask for cell phones to be put away, or for notes to be taken, or for mouths to be shut. They were all there to learn and to grow and to feel the spirit and how amazing is that for 14 year old girls? The last day I was able to hear of some miraculous "blossoming" moments from some of the girls and it testified to me the miracles, power, and teaching that comes from the spirit and also from the desire to seek to be better! It was such a neat experience and I am so thankful I had this opportunity!
