Time Out for Girls

I'm taking a break from blogging about my trip because I don't think I'll ever finish it! Last weekend I went to  Time Out for Girls with my friends Rachel, Emilee, Hannah, and Rebecca. It was super fun and I think I might've gained some major ab muscles!! :) We met John Bytheway, Kris Belcher, Sandra Turley, Laurel Christenson, Carmen Rasmuesen Herbert, John Hilton the Third, and Hillary Weeks! 


John Bytheway, Sandra Turley, Kris Belcher, and Carmen Rasmuesen Herbert

Carmen singing! She was on American Idol and made it to the top 6!  She talked about how you will never regret making a right decision, and how we shouldn't change our image to make people like us. 

John Hilton the 3rd talked about how we can get answers from the scriptures and how we need to expect the respect from the boys. He was really funny and I really liked his presentation (? don't know if that's the right word). He also talked about how we need to respect ourselves and we need to keep an eternal perspective. He also said "If you break the rules, the rules will break you." He also gave us a dare to not compare ourselves to anyone else for at least 48 hours because comparing yourself to someone else does not build you up, but tear you down.

John Bytheway is HILARIOUS and I learned lot's of stuff I can't even remember it all! One memorable moment was his imersonation of Don Knotts from the Andy Griffeth Show and the Apple Dumpling Gang. On a more spiritual note he also talked about listening to the Spirit and how we need to be better examples. He also talked about not lowering our standards and how we also need to expect more from the boys.
Me, Rachel, John Hilton 3rd and Emilee :)  Did I mention that his room was right next to ours in the hotel we stayed in?!

Me and Carmen Rasmuesen Herbert :)

Sandra Turley talked about her experience in the Broadway show of Les Miserables! She has an amazing voice!  She told us that Heavenly Father will always be there for us and that he is always thinking about us and we should think more about him.
Overall it was a very spiritual and hilarious weekend. Thanks for inviting me Rachel :)

Oh and guess what? I got my two bottom wisdom teeth out yesterday! YAY! haha I'm kinda swollen and sore :/ but luckily I got to sleep in today cause there was no seminary :)
